Preliminary study of development of students worksheet using creative problem based learning model in physics learning on senior high school

Abstract

The ability of students to think creatively in finding solutions to a problem is important in learning physics. However, teaching materials that used in school have not integrated learning model that can enhance students’ creative thinking abilities. The solution to improve students’ creative thinking skills is to develop worksheet using the Creative Problem-based Learning (CPBL) model in physics learning on Senior High School. To develop the worksheet, a preliminary study was conducted. This study used a descriptive method with the subjects of physics teacher in Senior High School at Padang. The instruments used are in the questionnaires and interview guidelines. Analyzing of the data is using descriptive analysis. The results showed that the performance analysis and the level of difficulty in learning were in the less category, and the student’s creative thinking abilities in physics learning were in the very less category
