The Prototype Development of Creative Thinking Skills Model’s Book

Abstract

Model of book is an important part of the research process in developing creative thinking skills. Considering the importance of creative thinking skills, it is necessary to attempt developing such skills in the learning process by applying an appropriate and effective model. This research will develop the components of learning model that includes theoretical rationale, syntax, social systems, reaction principle, support systems, and the impact instructional companion. Learning model of science is developed with syntax orientation, excavation creative ideas, research, elaboration, presenting the results of the work, evaluation, and implementation (OPPEMEI) with indicators of creative thinking skills fluency, flexibility, originality, elaboration and evaluation. To achieve the goals, it should need a couple of steps, namely (1) analyzing and providing a rational basis to support the development of learning model for creative thinking skills. (2) analyzing and constructing the theories that support the development of the model. Some synthesis theories for reviews are a constructivism theory, creative thinking theories, a motivation theory, a theory of Vygotsky (the theory of socio-cultural) and cognitive theory, (3) Analyzing the flow of thought decrease hypothetical OPPEMEI Model, (4) providing guidelines for the implementation of learning using OPPEMEI learning model, (5) conducting Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and (6) Revisions. Validity is assessed by expert judges in terms of content validity and construct validity. The construct validity includes the logic of stage model (syntax) and the support of relevant theory at each stage. Validation of the content reflects the state of the art or the strength of the device and the content materials are assessed based on the conformity with the applicable curriculum. The learning model is stated valid, if the expert judges and practical say that the model is developed based on strong and latest theoretical rationale and there is consistency between the components.
