Refining student’s creative thinking through problem oriented project-based learning and student team achievement division

Abstract

One of the biggest calls for educators to take part in the 21st century learning is to make sure students equipped with creative thinking. To empower these skills, a variety of effective learning models can be implemented. The current study aimed to develop a learning model that has the potential to improve student creative thinking by integrating Problem-Oriented Project-Based Learning (POPBL) and Student Team Achievement Division (STAD), hence called POPBLSTAD. Plomp design was used as the procedures for developing this product. It consisted of preliminary investigation, design, realization/construction, test, evaluation, and revision. The model was examined through a quasi-experiment. The participants’ creative thinking was evaluated based on five indicators: fluency, originality, elaboration, flexibility, and metaphorical thinking, using an essay test. The POPBLSTAD learning model was confirmed valid with a score of 3.47. The results of the ANACOVA analysis showed that the implementation of POPBLSTAD improved student creative thinking significantly. This finding suggests that POPBLSTAD can be used as an alternative learning model that is effective to refine student creative thinking.

The Effect of Assessment Strategy on Students’ Character and Creative Thinking Ability in Designing Learning Media

“…Creative thinking skills are new ideas and generate ideas about students' ability to generate a number of ideas (fluency), ability to generate new ideas in different and varied ways (flexibility), ability to generate new and unusual ideas (originality), ability to enrich ideas to make them more interesting and more complex (elaboration), and ability to use comparisons or analogies to make new connections (metaphorical thinking). The benefits of creative thinking skills include building the ability to take risks, developing the ability to deal with unstructured and ambiguous problems, helping students appreciate multiple perspectives, promoting innovation and encouraging independent learning (Kasirer & Mashal, 2018;Supratman, Zubaidah, Corebima, & Ibrohim, 2020) Students' creative thinking ability in making learning media can be known by providing an assessment that has been designed in such a way according to the characteristics contained in the classification of students' creative thinking abilities. (Kristiani, Mayasari, & Kurniadi, 2017).…”

The design of project-based learning model based on local potential and social constructive investigation and its impact on students' green behavior

“…Prior research suggests that PBL can enhance problem-solving abilities, collaboration, and students' communication skills [18]. Furthermore, PBL also enhances creative thinking skills [19], deepens comprehension of science [20], and improves student learning outcomes [12]. Conversely, the integration of local potential into the curriculum is highly essential [1] for fostering conceptual understanding, critical thinking skills, environmental knowledge [21], as well as respect and concern for the environment [22].…”

What increase students’ creative thinking skills? employing problem-based learning-digital mind map in biology learning

“…The advantage of the PBL model compared to other learning models in improving creative thinking is that when students are given problems, then they are asked to obtain interactive, active learning model solutions.
