Abstract
Creative thinking plays an important role in student learning and is part of the higher-order thinking skills that need to be developed in students. Students who have low creative thinking skills will have difficulty solving problems that require higher order thinking skills. Teaching materials that integrate creative thinking skills will help students develop creative thinking skills. One learning resource that can be used as a tool to improve the process of creative thinking is a module. This study aims to design a mathematical module based on the Problem-Based Learning model to improve students' creative thinking abilities. This research uses descriptive qualitative. Data collection instruments include validation guidelines and observation guidelines. Observation guidelines are used to identify the appropriate module criteria. Validation guidelines are used to validate module design by experts. Data were analyzed using the Miles Huberman model consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. This research resulted in a module design. The results showed that the quality of design in the category was very good for improving students' creative thinking skills. Research contributes to designing modules that integrate creative thinking skills. The design of this module can be used by teachers in developing learning resources so that students have creative thinking skills.
Highlights
Creative thinking skills play an important role in the learning of all children and is part of a high-level thinking skills need to be developed and students need to explore their potential for overcoming the various problems of mathematical contextual, which requires reasoning, argumentation and creative [1]
The research was done by designing a Problem-Based Learning (PBL)-based on mathematics learning modules for students of class VIII SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Yogyakarta Depok
Based on interviews conducted by researchers with the mathematics teacher SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Yogyakarta Depok, the material presented in mathematics module is Linear Equation System Two Variables
Summary
Creative thinking skills play an important role in the learning of all children and is part of a high-level thinking skills need to be developed and students need to explore their potential for overcoming the various problems of mathematical contextual, which requires reasoning, argumentation and creative [1]. Students must have the skills of creative thinking in solving mathematical problems by using a variety of alternative solutions. Based on the results of observations in SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Depok that problem-solving ability, creativity of students is still low and the learning modules are used are not able to improve problem-solving abilities. Problem-based learning allows students to solve real-world problems, learn to think at a higher level, and motivate students in learning activities [6]. Mathematical skills that will be achieved in mathematics are an understanding of the mathematical concepts, patterns of reasoning, problem solving, communicating mathematical ideas, and making mathematical connections in the form of solving everyday problems using the mathematical concept [7]. Map concept in the learning module mathematics the PBL-based lists of topics to be studied in module and shows the interrelatedness of topics in the module.
