Abstract
This research aims to determine the effect of Creative Problem Solving (CPS) on logical thinking ability and concept achievement. The design was a nonequivalent pretest-posttest control group design. The samples were 60 students of X MIA 1 and X MIA 3 selected through cluster random sampling technique. Data on logical thinking ability obtained using the Test of Logical Thinking (TOLT and data on concept achievement (cognitive aspects) gathered using pretest and posttest. Both data were analyzed by Independent Sample t-Test at a 5% confidence level. The results showed that CPS give effect significantly the experimental class logical thinking ability (0.41± 0.13) was higher than the control class (0.21 ± 0.07). The mastery of concepts on the experiment class (0.61 ± 0.20) higher than the control class (0.41 ± 0.20). It means that CPS influences students’ logical thinking ability and mastery of concepts.
Highlights
The development of science and technology makes life enter a new era, namely the era of information and globalization
Improved students 'logical thinking ability is obtained because the use of Creative Problem Solving (CPS) learning models significantly influences the increase in students' logical thinking skills
That means the decision to accept H1, which means that the average experiment class is higher than the control class. These results indicate the influence of CPS learning on logical thinking skills and mastery concepts
Summary
The development of science and technology makes life enter a new era, namely the era of information and globalization. The progress of science and technology with the diversity of challenges and demands requires people who have competitiveness with the ability to think logically, critically, and creatively (Sumarmo, 2010). One of ability to believe that always considered in one's life in action is the ability to think logically. The ability to think logically affects human beings in other mental processes, such as critical and creative thinking. That is because logical thinking can provoke someone to think critically and creatively when facing a problem. Logical thinking makes students do reasoning in building various thoughts to solve a problem correctly (Andriawan, 2014)
