The Study of Worksheets Based on Creative Problem Solving for Biology Subjects

Abstract

Worksheets are indispensable in the learning process because they can help students become more active and provide feedback in learning activities. Higher-order thinking skill-based worksheet is one of the teaching materials that can be used to make students become more active in the learning process because it can train problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and even creative thinking. This aimed at finding out students' ability to solve problems in biological content using creative problem-solving-based worksheets. The research design used was research and development consisting of defines, design, and development. Participants were 12 graders of XI MA Darul Fatihin NW Gerintuk. Data collection used was worksheets using creative problem-solving indicators consisting of Clarify, Ideate, Develop and Implement. Data analysis was conducted to percentage the score that gets 3, 2, and 1. The results of the data analysis showed that 1) Ecosystem Components and interactions between components, obtained the results of ecosystem components and interactions between ecosystems, the highest percentage on clarify indicators with a gain of 50% in the score position 3; (2) Energy flow, the highest percentage on the clarify indicator with an obtained score 58.3% in the position of score 1; (3) Biogeochemical cycle, the highest percentage obtained for the students who did not answer on the ideate indicator 41.7%, develop 50%, and implement 58.3%; (4) Pollution and environmental preservation the highest percentage on clarifying and ideate indicators with a gain of 50% at the position of score 3, implement with the acquisition of 50% in the position of score 1. This research concluded that students needed to be intensely trained in high-level thinking skills by getting used to using worksheets-based constructivist especially creative problem-solving.

Physics Workbook on Simple Harmonic Motion: Student Perception

“…In addition to fostering critical thinking skills, students concur that the developed workbook effectively cultivates problem-solving abilities through a comprehensive, sequential, and systematic approach to problem resolution [14]. Furthermore, students systematically assess their problem-solving proficiencies through the questions posed after each lesson within the workbook [36]. Students receive grades and constructive instructor feedback upon completing the workbooks, facilitating subsequent review and comprehension.…”

Problem-solving ability: Implementation of RICOSRE learning models on environmental change topic

“…RICOSRE learning model has six syntax / stages, namely Reading, Identifying a problem, Constructing the Solution, Solving the problem, Reviewing the solution, and Extending the solution (Mahanal et al, 2019). Models that have a problem-solving syntax can be applied in schools, especially in Biology subjects (Fatmawati et al, 2021;Setiawan et al, 2021).…”

Pembelajaran Berdiferensiasi Berbantuan LKPD Bermuatan STEM pada Materi Energi Alternatif untuk Meningkatkan Keterampilan Proses Sains dan Creative Problem Solving

“…Based on several studies, the use of Student Worksheets in STEM learning can improve students' skills in observation, data analysis and reasoning and can improve students' critical thinking skills in solving problems (Lestari et al, 2018;Safitri & Tanjung, 2023;Mahjatia et al, 2021;Sukmagati et al, 2020). Overall, the use of Student Worksheets in STEM learning can be an effective way to develop students' skills in STEM (Fatmawati et al, 2021). The development of student worksheets must be carried out by integrating STEM learning with an inquiry or problem-based approach, so that students can develop critical thinking skills and creativity in solving problems (Wazni & Fatmawati, 2022).…”
