Implementation of Creativity Problem Solving Model Using E-Learning in Applied Graph Theory Course

Abstract

One of learning alternatives that can be applied to improve students’ activity and creativity is e-learning.. Implementation of e-learning for applied graph theory course used e-module for course material, e-portfolio for student assignments, and online-based tasks that can be accessed by other students, hence it is could be as a pioneer of wider implementation of online learning. In applied graph theory course, students needed to have direct experience in solving problems in related industries/institutions. From direct application experience in the field, students raise problems, model problems in the graph, and determine appropriate methods to solve the problem. Creative thinking process could be identified from students’ problem solving task by using Creative Problem Solving (CPS) model. There are four indicators of main step (understanding the challenge, generating ideas, preparing for action, and planning approach) and eight minor step indicators (constructing opportunities, exploring data, problem framing, generating ideas, developing solutions, building acceptance, appraising tasks, and designing process) in the recent version. Purpose of the paper is to analyze result of CPS model implementation, and to discuss student’s responses to the implementation. By implementing the CPS model through e-learning, it could be identified that student’ s creativity in real problem solving were good. The questionnaire indicated that the student response strongly agree with the implementation of this learning to develop creativity.

Identifikasi Permasalahan Dalam Penerapan Model Creative Problem Solving Berbasis Moodle di SMP

“…Pada dasarnya penggunaan e-learning dalam pembelajaran CPS bersifat membantu mengidentifikasi kemampuan siswa dalam memecahkan masalah kreatif. Sebagaimana yang diperoleh dalam penelitian sebelumnya tentang implementasi pemecahan masalah kreatif menggunakan e-learning, dimana hasil yang diperoleh adalah CPS berbantukan moodle menjadikan identifikasi kemampuan kreatif siswa dalam memecahkan masalah nyata lebih mudah dilakukan [33].…”

An Integration of "Online Interactive Apps" for Learning Application of Graph Theory to Enhance Creative Problem Solving of Mathematics Students

“…Interactive learning can be seen in [11], [12], [13], and [14]. The use of ICT in learning mathematics can be seen in [15], [16], [17], [18] and [19]. Online learning is also associated with increasing problem solving abilities such as the effect of web learning on problem solving strategies [20], CPS on blended learning seen in [21], [22].…”
