An initial observation of learning devices development based on discovery learning to increase students’ creativity

Abstract

Creativity is a combination of logical and divergent thinking that is used to bring up a new idea. The type of research was a descriptive research by using qualitative approach. An initial observation of learning devices development based on discovery learning aims to (1) to know an initial conditions of mathematical planning and learning that are developed by the teacher (2) to know and review how creativity of senior high school students in mathematics learning (3) whether it is necessary to continue research development based on discovery learning to improve creativity of senior high school students. The results of preliminary observations indicate that: (a) mathematics planning and learning that are developed by teachers is still general. (b) So that the creativity of high school students in mathematics learning is still low. (c) Based on this, follow-up action is needed in the form of research on development based on discovery learning to increase creativity of senior high school students (SMA N 5 Padang on 2018/2019).
