Abstract

This study examines and analyzes the differences between GeoGebra-assisted community learning and conventional learning in improving students' creative thinking skills in junior high schools. The research method uses quantitative, designed with an experimental pattern of nonequivalent control groups. Samples taken not randomly from two different classes amounted to 79 people. One class gets community learning with the help of GeoGebra, and the other class gets conventional learning. Data obtained by using the test. The test was conducted twice, namely pretest and posttest. Normalized N-Gain is done to measure the increase in creative thinking skills. Data analysis used an independent sample t-test. Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that there was a significant increase in students' creative thinking skills. Learning community is student-centered learning in groups (Student-Centered Learning). The research findings consider it important to implement GeoGebra-assisted learning communities according to the characteristics and development of the student learning environment.

Summary

Introduction

Asevere problem that mathematics teachers face today is that students say m­ athematics is the most challenging subject. Teachers must innovate to apply creative thinking tricks and use learning models to improve creative thinking skills. The suitable learning model to be used in improving creative thinking skills is the GeoGebra-assisted learning community model. The learning community model assisted by GeoGebra is an effective learning model to improve creative thinking skills. Using a learning community model assisted by GeoGebra, students are more active, creative, and innovative in speaking, sharing experiences, and collaborating with classmates to improve creative thinking skills [14]. Referring to the description above, the researcher at this moment conducts an in-depth, comprehensive study of student’s creative thinking skills using GeoGebra Assisted Learning Community. The researcher raised the research with “Improving the Creative Thinking Ability of Middle School Students Using GeoGebra Assisted Learning Community” to obtain a comprehensive study
