“…Elaboration is the ability to expand answers to problems, bring up new problems or new ideas (Turkmen & Sertkahya, 2015;Sari & Hidayat, 2019). Creative thinking using in the study refers to Torrance (Yoon, 2017). Stated creative thinking contained innovative creativity (fluency, originality), and adaptive creativity (flexibility, the abstractness of titles, and Resistance to Premature Closure).…”

Learning models that can improve critical thinking, skills collaborate, communicate, and creative thinking are needed in the 21st-century education era. Critical and creative thinking are the two essential competencies of the four skills required in the 21st century. However, both are still difficult to achieve well by students due to a lack of thinking skills during mathematics learning. This study was conducted to determine the model of learning that is appropriate to develop students' critical and creative thinking skills. The study used three-class samples from eighth grade. The first class is given the problem-posing lesson; the second class is given contextual learning and third class as a control class. The results of the study indicate that improving students' critical and creative thinking skills are included in the moderate category for types using contextual learning and problem-posing. Also, it is found that contextual learning is more effective for improving critical thinking skills when compared with learning problem posing and expository learning. Meanwhile, learning problem posing is more useful to enhance creative thinking skills compared with contextual and expository learning.

“…It has also been utilized for research purposes in Hong Kong with school children (Kam, 2009;Rudowicz et al 1995). The TTCT was determined as the significance measure of creative potential of individuals, as its construct validity, convergent validity, discriminant validity, predictive validity, and test-retest reliability were comprehensively examined in prior studies (Kim et al, 2006;Kim, 2011;Yoon et al 2017). The creative thinking abilities as measured in the TTCT referred to the "constellation of generalized mental abilities that are commonly presumed to be brought into play in creative achievements" (Scholastic Testing Service, 2017a).…”

Creativity has been a key graduate attribute and transferrable skill for the universities nowadays. A better understanding of freshmen students’ level of creativity thinking facilitates the cultivation of the ways for nurturing the development of creativity in students throughout their university education studies. The purpose of this study was to investigate creative thinking abilities of first-year undergraduates in Hong Kong using the Torrance Tests of Creativity Thinking (TTCT) – a commonly known assessment for creativity. A total of 492 first-year undergraduates at a university in Hong Kong were asked to complete TTCT Figural Form consisting of picture construction, picture completion and lines activities. Generally, the creative potential of Hong Kong undergraduates was well above the average. The students demonstrated their abilities in generation of a number of relevant ideas (fluency), producing novel responses (originality), abstract thinking (abstractness of titles), and open-minded thinking (premature closure). They exhibited creative strength of, for example, flexible imagination, thinking with senses, and thinking beyond boundaries. However, students’ elaborative thinking, metaphorical-thinking and sense of humor had a lot of room for improvement. Based on the assessment results, some implications on the possible institutional strategies for nurturing creativity among students during university education were discussed.

“…These both elements are important to be examined. However there is a lack of studies which examine and establish the convergent validity among creativity tests (Plucker & Maker, 2010;Yoon, 2017).Critical thinking are examples of studies attempting the validation of critical thinking as a subject-specific skill (Tiruneh et al, 2017), the primary purpose of assessment is to improve of student learning. The assessment process will highlight and promote those practices that are most effective, determine action for improvement where needed and Vol.3, No.3, 2018 Available online: http://journal.konselor.or.id/index.php/counsedu…”

The purpose of this study is discovering and confirmingthe essentialfunction of Structure Equation Modeling (SEM) Analysis for assessment and educational research. The literatures in regards to SEM analysis as method of assessment and educational research will be descriptive analyzed and explored in the light of meta-analysis. The result of the study shown that by using SEM analysis ones get empirical data and clear picture of student’s need and do right assessment and research in education. The empirical data enable scholars and government to set new or revise current education program for the future. Therefore this result should be considered as important data for government, especially Education department to establish curriculum and planning strategy of teaching and learning which is conjunction with reality in the field. It means the education program that been established and will develop really match with real life and needs of student, society and the nation. So SEM analysis is important method for each researchers and scholars to run assessment and educational research now and beyond.
