The Effectiveness of Problem Based Learning (Pbl) Approach Viewed From the Students’ Mathematical Creative Thinking Ability

Abstract

Generally, mathematical competence equips students with logical thinking ability. On the other hand, the mathematical competence is expected to equip students with creative thinking ability. Creative thinking ability is used when a person faces a problem or challenge. Nowadays, there has been a lot of developing approaches that can be used to create ideal learning condition to achieve the learning goals, including improving the mathematical creative thinking ability. One of approaches that can be used is Problem Based Learning (PBL). The purpose of this research was to describe the effectiveness of PBL approach in terms of mathematical creative thinking ability. This was a quasi-experimental reseach. A control class used the conventional approach. The results showed that Problem Based Learning (PBL) was an effective appoach viewed from the mathematical creative thinking ability. Meanwhile, the control class was not effective.

Efektivitas Penggunaan LKS Problem Based Learning (PBL) Materi Aritmatika Ditinjau dari Kemampuan Berpikir Kreatif Matematika

“…Terkait dengan upaya meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kreatif alternatif pendekatan pembelajaran yang dapat digunakan adalah Problem Based Learning (PBL) (Masitoh, 2019). Pada pembelajaran dengan pendekatan PBL siswa diajak untuks mempelajari materi pelajaran sambil memecahkan suatu masalah (Jonassen, 2011).…”

“…Pada pembelajaran dengan pendekatan PBL siswa diajak untuks mempelajari materi pelajaran sambil memecahkan suatu masalah (Jonassen, 2011). Aktivitas pemecahan masalah yang dilakukan siswa dalam kelas PBL akan terus melatih kempuan pemecahan masalahnya (Masitoh, 2019). Torp & Sage (2002) mengemukakan bahwa PBL adalah pendekatan pembelajaran yang membantu proses belajar melalui investigasi.…”

Fostering Critical and Creative Thinking in Mathematics: A Study on Brain-Based and Problem-Based Learning

“…The studies provide empirical evidence of the effectiveness of BBL and problem-based learning (PBL) in improving students' conceptual understanding, analytical abilities, and application of mathematical knowledge in real-world contexts, further underscoring the transformative potential of these pedagogical approaches in mathematics education (Marchy et al, 2022;Masitoh, 2019).…”

The Effect of Project-Based Blended Learning and Students’ Creativity on Eleventh-Grade Students’ Learning Achievement

“…They have to find the solution to face the discussed problems. Besides, project-based learning can increase students' creativity (Fatimah, 2016;Rati et al, 2017). The provision of project trains students to be more creative in designing the product of the project.…”
