Abstract
Creative thinking is the capacity to generate ideas and new ideas. For vocational students, creative thinking is a basis for applying knowledge in their fields. Preliminary studies demonstrate that students experience difficulties in solving geometry and other problems that require creative thinking. This study aims is to analyze students’ creative thinking ability and the factors that influence it. This qualitative research was conducted at SMK (Vocational School) Negeri 1 Panga Aceh Jaya. It involved 113 students in answering the tests, in which six of them were selected to be interviewed. The research instruments were creative thinking tests and interviews. Data were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that 47.79% of students fulfilled the fluency indicator, while 49.78% met the originality indicator. The interview demonstrated that the lack of capacity was due to poor ability of fluent thinking. Students could not generate various or new ideas; therefore, they had difficulties reaching the originality level. Based on these findings, it is recommended to provide students with tasks or activities to develop their creative thinking skills.
