Correlation between mathematical creative thinking ability and mathematical creative thinking disposition in geometry

Abstract

Mathematics educators commonly believe that an open-ended approach could facilitate students to build their creative thinking ability and its disposition, especially in geometry. This research belongs to a quasi-experiment that used a non-equivalent control group design. The purpose of this research was to analyze the correlation between creative thinking ability and creative thinking disposition through an open-ended learning approach toward area and volume of flat geometrical objects problems. Two classes are selected as the sample, they are the control group and experiment group. The open-ended approach was used in the experiment group then direct instruction in the control group. The population is all of the eighth-grade students at one of the junior high school in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. This study used to test and non-test as the research instruments. The test instrument was a creative thinking ability test while the non-test instrument was a questionnaire. These instruments were given after the learning process then analyzed by using Bivariate Correlation through SPSS. According to the analysis results, the finding is: the correlation coefficient between creative thinking ability and creative thinking disposition is at the middle level. The conclusion is there is a significant correlation between students’ creative thinking ability and students’ creative thinking disposition.

Kreativiti Murid dalam Pembelajaran Geometri di Sekolah Rendah

“…Dalam menyelesaikan masalah geometri, murid menunjukkan prestasi yang lebih baik jika tahap kreativiti yang lebih tinggi. Nasution et al (2021) Korelasi antara keupayaan pemikiran kreatif matematik dan kecenderungan pemikiran kreatif matematik dalam geometri.…”

Pengaruh Model Pembelajaran Berbasis Masalah Terhadap Hasil Belajar Matematika Siswa Jurusan IPS Di Pondok Pesantren

“…Upaya peningkatan SDM untuk bersaing di tengah pesatnya perkembangan IPTEK seyogiyanya dimulai dari peningkatan kualitas pendidikan. Peningkatan kualitas pendidikan dilakukan melalui kegiatan pembelajaran dengan melibatkan kegiatan-kegiatan berpikir yang berpusat pada siswa (Nasution, Yulia, Anggraini, Putri, & Sari, 2021). Keseluruhan kegiatan pembelajaran yang berkualitas terangkum pada satuan kurikulum untuk mendukung tujuan pendidikan nasional.…”
