Optimizing Senior High School Students Creative Thinking Skills of Optical Devices through Inductive Learning Models Assisted by e-Mind Map

Abstract

This study aims to determine the inductive learning model assisted e-mind map in optimizing creative thinking skills students. This study uses a quasi-experimental design of one group pretest post-test design. This study involved 33 students of class XI Science 1 from SMA Negeri 6 Yogyakarta. The inductive model assisted by e-mind map consists of several stages of syntax namely, 1) data collection and presentation, 2) data testing and calculation, 3) classification, 4) formulation and testing of hypotheses, and 5) application. Learning tools are arranged based on an inductive learning model assisted by e-mind map to determine the effect on students’ creative thinking skills. The indicators of creative thinking skills consist of fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. Before being given treatment, the research class was given a pretest to find out the students’ initial abilities. Then the class was given treatment using an inductive model with a mind map assisted and then given a post-test. The results showed that there was an increase in the mean value of creative thinking skills. Before treatment (pretest), the average value of students’ creative thinking skills in class XI IPA 1 was 72.73 while (post-test) was 93.18 after using inductive learning model assisted by e-Mind Map. The N-gain test results show a value of 0.75 so that it shows creative thinking skills in the high category. The results show students’ creative thinking skills can be optimized by using an inductive learning model assisted by e-mind maps.
