The Student’s Analysis of Creative Thinking Process in Solving Open Problems viewed from Wallas Model on Problem Based Learning Model

The purpose of this study was to (1) gain the description of PBL mathematicis lesrning model quality towards students; (2) creative thinking ability in solving some open ended problems before the PBL model aplied to them; and (3) getting the description of creative thinking process in solving the open ended problems based on Wallas model in PBL of learning for each Creative Thinking Skill Test CTST. This research is using mixed methods. The result of Mathematical Creative Thinking Skill Test (MCTST) is analyzed quantitatively using classical completeness test and also average difference test. Furthermore, the result of MCTST is analyzed qualitatively to gain the result of students’ Creative Thinking Skill Test (CTST) before PBL learning mode to be applied to them. To obtain research data used questionnaire methods, documentation, testing, observations, and interviews. The results showed that: (1) the quality of learning in both categories, (2) Before the model was applied to the class G, 7th grade students of SMP N 30 Semarang the total score of CTST were: 2 students for CTST4, 16 students for CTST3, 15 students for CTST1, and 3 students for CTST0; and (3) the analysis of the interviews and observations show that each CTST has different characteristics of creative thinking process on preparation phase, incubation, illumination, ang verification.

PENGEMBANGAN KREATIVITAS MAHASISWA CALON GURU KIMIA DALAM PEMBELAJARAN DENGAN METODE INKUIRI LABORATORIUM MELALUI TEMA MINUMAN KEMASAN

This study aims to find a laboratory inquiry learning model, obtain a description of students’ creativity development, and obtain a description of students’ responses toward using laboratory inquiry method with the theme of packaged beverage. The method in this study is quasi-experimental research design using Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The data is collected using creative thinking skill test, observation of attitude and action, as well as questionnaire. Quantitative data is analyzed using statistics. The results showed that the experimental class students experience the creative development from the aspects of creative thinking skills with the highest score is on the ability to think originally with N-gain of 42.13%in the moderate category. From the aspect of creative attitude, experimental class scores highest on the indicator of feeling challenged by a plurality by the N-gain of 59.25% in the moderate category. From the aspect of the creative act, the experimental class is highest on the performance aspects of lab implementation stage with average N-gain of 52.88% in the moderate category. Based on the results of the questionnaire, the students' responses to lab implementation, the ability to understand chemistry concepts through packaged beverage theme and their responses to learning method are positive.
