Acceptance finding ability

Abstract

Acceptance finding is the one of an aspect of mathematical Creative Problem Solving (CPS). The indicator of acceptance finding is characterized by students ability to answer the question by using different methods. The lower acceptance finding ability shows by the tendency from the student to use the same methods. The main goal of this research is to identify the several factors that causing the lower of acceptance finding and how to improve it. This research adopting several data that concern to mathematical CPS ability, from 2014 to 2017 on Elementary School, held on two province, Banten and West Java. The conclusion are: 1) The factor that causing the lower acceptance finding are the fact that student don’t have enough opportunity through divergent thinking process; 2) Situation-Based Learning was designed to improve acceptance finding. SBL was conducted to emphasise students opportunity to analyze and trying to solve a problem, on fearless condition about mistakes. So, its possible to find the variation methods to solve the problem.
