The Effect of Thinking Actively in a Social Context and Creative Problem-Solving Learning Models on Divergent-Thinking Skills Viewed from Adversity Quotient

Abstract

This research aims to find out: (1) the more effective learning model on students' divergent-thinking skills; (2) the better adversity quotient on students' divergent-thinking skills; (3) the better adversity quotient to improve students' divergent-thinking skills in each learning model; and (4) the better learning model to improve students' divergent-thinking skills in each adversity quotient. This research uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental type. The fifth-grade students were selected as the research subjects. This research was carried out at the public elementary schools in Laweyan District, Surakarta, Indonesia. Test and questionnaire techniques were used to collect data. The data analysis was performed with the analysis prerequisite, hypothesis, and multiple-comparison tests. The results showed that the learning model and adversity quotient have an influence on divergentthinking skills; for each adversity quotient, the thinking actively in a social context learning model is better than the creative problem solving and direct instruction learning model; the creative problem solving learning model is better than the direct instruction learning model; and adversity quotient of the climbers is better than that of the campers and the adversity quotient of the campers is better than that of the quitters in each learning model.

Adversity and emotional quotients of public elementary school heads amidst the COVID-19

“…This simply means that school heads have above normal capacity in handling challenges, difficulties, setbacks, and demands at work and in personal attributes. This is strengthened by the study conducted by Fauziah et al (2020) which showed that learning model and adversity quotient have an influence on divergent-thinking skills. Table 5 shows the emotional quotient of school heads in terms of their self-awareness.…”

Proses Pemecahan Masalah Sistem Persamaan Linear Dua Variabel Berdasarkan Tahapan Mason Ditinjau dari Tipe Adversity Quotient

“…Berikut wawancara antara peneliti dan siswa quitter. Bersumber dari ketiga paparan paparan diatas, dimana setiap kategori adversity quetiont climber, camper dan quitter memiliki kemampuan pemecahan masalah yang berbeda (Juwita et al, 2020;Fauziah et al, 2020;Hulaikah et al, 2020). Pada siswa climber mampu memenuhi tahapan (Stoltz, 2000).…”

From Leading to Guiding, Facilitating, and Inspiring: A Needed Shift for the 21st Century

“…The REAPS model is an integration of four evidence-based teaching models with problem solving as a common goal (Figure 1): the DISCOVER problem types and curriculum principles [15], the Thinking Actively in a Social Context (TASC) problemsolving process (c.f. [86,87]), the Problem Based Learning (PBL) approach to selecting realworld problems and solving them from the perspective of different stakeholders (c.f. [82,88]), and the Prism of Learning domains of ability [4].…”
