A Proposed Educational Program Based on Project-Based Learning (PBL) for Teaching Home Economics and its Impact on Developing Creative Thinking and Problem-solving Skills of Third-grade Intermediate Female Students

This study examined the effectiveness of using project-based learning (PBL) for the teaching of home economics and determine its impact on the development of students’ creative thinking and problem-solving skills. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researchers used the quasi-experimental approach. Pre- and post-intervention tests were conducted with two (experimental and control) groups of third-grade intermediate female students. Two tests were administered: one to test the students’ creative thinking skills, and the other to test their problem-solving skills. The control group were taught a home economics unit by conventional teaching methods; the experimental group were taught using the PBL approach. The following materials and tools have been prepared by the researchers: a proposed educational program based on project-based learning (PBL), a test of creative thinking skills, and a test of problem-solving skills. The findings revealed that there were statistical differences (0.05) between the mean scores for the pre-PBL and post-PBL tests, indicating that PBL significantly improved the students’ creative thinking and problem-solving skills. Several recommendations and suggestions are offered based on the findings.

Students' Creative Thinking Skills in Solving Linear Equation Problems through Contextual Teaching and Learning

Creative thinking skills are among those that need to be developed in 21st-century learning. Students' creative thinking skills can be improved through CTL, which provides opportunities to explore the relationship between mathematics and the real world. This research aims to determine the application of CTL to enhance students' creative thinking skills in solving linear equation problems. This research used a mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design. The study was conducted with a class of seventh-grade students at a middle school in Yogyakarta. The research subjects consisted of 32 seventh- grade students. The research results show a difference in students' average creative thinking skills in solving linear equation problems before and after implementing CTL. Students' creative thinking skills in the high and medium categories meet the indicators. Meanwhile, students with low creative thinking skills still need help creating mathematical models and solving problems. Further research is required to explore how CTL can be focused on improving the creative thinking skills of students with low levels of ability.

Pengaruh Model Project Science Based Learning Terhadap Keterampilan Berpikir Kritis dan Kreatif Siswa pada Topik Materi dan Perubahannya

level with the topic of forms of matter and their changes. Based on the results of pre-research conducted through observations and interviews with science and natural sciences class IV A SD Tamansiswa Turen teachers, it was said that after students received the material concept regarding the shape of objects and their materials. changes, students are not yet fully able to identify the process by which substances form and the causes that result in changes in form. that substance. To make it easier for students to understand material about the forms of substances and their changes, a learning model is needed that can increase students' understanding. One learning model that can be used is the project based learning (PjBL) learning model. This is because the project based learning (PjBL) model can improve student skills, make students more active and creative, and can improve critical thinking skills when completing projects that have been designed and prepared individually or in groups. This research aims to determine whether or not there is an influence of the project-based learning model on students' critical and creative thinking abilities in class IV of the material changes at SD Tamansiswa Turen.The type of research used was quantitative research with a pre-experimental method of type one group pre-test and post-test design. This research was given to all students in grade IV A at SD Tamansiswa Turen which amounted to 22 students. The instruments used in this study are: 1) Processing instruments: Teaching Module, LKPD, Interview Guidelines, 2) Measurement instruments: written tests (pre-test and post-test) in the form of 10 essay questions for pre-test and 1 essay question for post-test. Data analysis used the liliefors analysis test for normality test while for hypothesis test used paired sample t-test. The results of the study showed that there was an influence of the project-based learning (PjBL) model on students' critical and creative thinking skills with an average pre-test score of 67,840 and an average post-test score of 80. It is known that the t-count value for critical and creative thinking skills is 5,430 with a probability (Sig.) of 0.001. So that the probability value is 0.05, then H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. In addition, the results of the study also show the influence of PjBL on critical and creative thinking skills with the emergence of indicators of critical and creative thinking skills in the learning process. Thus, the project-based learning (PjBL) model can be used by teachers in schools for learning options or alternatives in improving students' critical and creative thinking skills.

Analysis of Creative Thinking Skill in Solving Mathematical Problems Viewed from the Types of Personality

Creative thinking skills are part of the student’s thinking process in solving math problems. Each student has a different thought process according to their personality, so needed suitable learning model for each type of integration. One of the personality type that can be used to review students creative thinking skills is the Keirsey personality type. The purpose of this research is to obtain a description of student personality types based on Keirsey personality test results and creative thinking skills of students in solving mathematical problems on personality types Guardian, Artisan, Rational, and Idealist. The research subjects were students of class X MIPA 1 in one of the senior high schools in Bandung by purposive sampling. This research is descriptive-qualitative research. The results showed that subjects with Guardian personality types became the majority in the class and students with Idealist personality types became the minority. Then based on the results of the analysis, students with Guardian personality types meet indicators of fluency, novelty, and elaboration; Artisans meet indicators of fluency and novelty; Idealists meet indicators of fluency and novelty; and Rational meet all indicators of creative thinking skills, namely fluency, flexibility, novelty and elaboration. By knowing the student’s personality type, it is expected to be a reference in teaching methods in order to improve student creative thinking skills.
