Pisa 2021 Creative Thinking Instrument for Students: Physics Teachers’ Perceptions

Abstract

Creative thinking, as one of the 21st century skills, is an ability that must be mastered by individuals, especially in this ever-changing era. Therefore, the demands of teachers are not only limited to training them in learning, but also knowing the profile of students’ creative thinking abilities is also considered very important. The purpose of this study was to describe teachers’ perceptions and interests about the need for creative thinking instruments with the PISA 2021 framework. A total of 30 physics teachers who teach in various provinces in Indonesia were involved as respondents in this study. Respondents are high school physics teachers with characteristics aged 20-40 years, 19 are female, and 11 are male. Based on the results of the analysis, it is known that more than 90% of respondents stated that it is very important to measure students’ creative thinking skills. As many as 83% of respondents stated that they were interested in the PISA 2021 creative thinking ability framework and wanted to try to do a creative thinking ability test with the PISA framework. Thus, teachers have a positive perception of the PISA 2021 creative thinking framework. For this reason, it is recommended for teachers to develop creative thinking instruments with the 2021 PISA framework to measure students' creative thinking skills in learning.

Project-Based Learning Integrated With Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (Stem) to the Critical Thinking Skills of Students in Elementary School

“…Students' competence in Indonesia is still low based on the 2021 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) results. Indonesian students' PISA scores related to literacy, numeracy, and science in 2021 were below average, even decreasing compared to the assessments three years earlier (Susilowati et al, 2022). That is supported by the results of observations of researchers in one of the elementary schools in the city of Makassar.…”

Using Gamification-based Program to Increase Student Creativity Skills in Sustainable Development Topics

“…The urgency to improve creativity skills is also demonstrated by the framework developed by OECD, namely the PISA 2022 Framework (OECD, 2021;PISA, 2023). Learning strategies are needed that can improve creativity skills and instruments to measure students' creativity skills (Susilowati et al, 2022). These strategies need to be adapted to students' learning styles and conditions so that they are more effective.…”

Development of higher order thinking skill questions using Stahl and Murphy's taxonomy on excretion system topic

“…Thinking at a higher level of cognition is an indispensable skill in the learning process. Therefore, to increase the International Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) score and create quality Indonesian human resources, improvements and updates are needed in the educational aspect (Susilowati et al, 2022).…”
