Development of Learning Model Based on Discovery Learning Assisted by Geogebra Applet to Improve Students' Creative Thinking Ability

Abstract

This study aims to: (1) To find out validity, practicality and effectiveness of the Geogebra Applet-Assisted Discovery Learning-Based Learning Model which was developed to determine students' creative thinking abilities; (2) To find out the improvement of students' creative thinking skills by developing a Geogebra Applet-Assisted Discovery Learning-Based Learning Model. This research is a development research or development research. The development of the Geogebra Applet-Assisted Discovery Learning-Based Learning Model was carried out following the development stages as a result of the modification of the development model proposed by Plomp. This research was conducted at SMP Negeri 1 Kutapanjang, Gayo Lues Regency, Aceh Province. The subjects of this study were students of class VII-1 and VII-2, totaling 25 students. The results showed that: (1) Geogebra Applet-Assisted Discovery Learning-Based Learning Model was categorized as valid, practical and effective; (2) The improvement of students' creative thinking skills after using the Geogebra Applet-Assisted Discovery Learning-Based Learning Model on the rectangular flat shape material is the average achievement of students' creative thinking abilities from trial I to trial II, from 74.72 to 80.4.
