Long-term meditation practice is increasingly recognized for its health benefits. Heartfulness meditation represents a quickly growing set of practices that is largely unstudied. Heartfulness is unique in that it is a meditation practice that focuses on the Heart. It helps individuals to connect to themselves and find inner peace. In order to deepen ones’ meditation, the element of Yogic Energy (‘pranahuti’) is used as an aid during meditation. The purpose of this study was to determine whether consistent EEG effects of Heartfulness meditation be observed in sixty experienced Heartfulness meditators, each of whom attended 6 testing sessions. In each session, participants performed three conditions: a set of cognitive tasks, Heartfulness guided relaxation, and Heartfulness Meditation. Participants during the cognitive portion were required to answer questions that tested their logical thinking (Cognitive Reflective Test) and creative thinking skills. (Random Associative Test) The order of condition was randomly counter balanced across six sessions. It was hypothesized that Heartfulness meditation would bring increased alpha (8-12Hz) brain activity during meditation and better cognitive task scores in sessions where the tasks followed meditation. Heartfulness meditation produces a significant decrease in brain activity (as indexed by higher levels of alpha during the early stages of meditation. As the meditation progressed deep meditative state (as indexed by higher levels of delta) were observed until the end of the condition.  This lead to the conclusion that Heartfulness Meditation produces a state that is clearly distinguishable from effortful problem solving.

Problem-solving ability is an essential part of daily life. Thus, curiosity and a thirst for knowledge should be cultivated in students to help them develop problem solving and independent thinking skills. Along with positive attitudes and an active disposition, these abilities are needed to solve problems throughout the lifespan and develop -confidence. To achieve educational objectives in the context of globalization, creative ability is necessary for generating competitive advantages. Therefore, creative thinking, critical thinking, and problem-solving ability are important basic competencies needed for future world citizens. Creativity should also be integrated into subject teaching to cultivate students' lifelong learning and a creative attitude toward life. A questionnaire was distributed to 420 students in colleges and universities in Fujian, China. After removing invalid and incomplete responses, 363 copies were found to be valid yielding a response rate of 86%. Findings indicate that the new generation requires high levels of support to develop creativity and integrate diverse subjects such as nature, humanities, and technology. A rich imagination is needed to root creativity in the new generation.

This study aims to: (1) analyze the level of creative thinking possessed by each class XI students of Building Drawing Technique (BDT); and (2) analyze the influence of the level of thinking on the learning outcomes of the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. This type of research is correlational research through a quantitative approach method. The population in this study were all students in building expertise competencies at SMK Negeri 1 Nganjuk which included Geomatics and BDT. The sample used in this study was XI BDT class students. The instrument used in analyzing the level of creative thinking (LCT) is a problem-solving test sheet of the type of multiple solution tasks. The data analysis technique uses a linear regression test. The results of the study concluded that: (1) there were as many as 4 students included in the category of LCT 4 (very creative), there were 12 students included in the category of LCT 3 (creative), there are 11 students included in the category 2 LCT (quite creative), there are no students included in the category of LCT 1 (less creative), and there are as many as 11 students who included in the category of LCT 0 (not creative); (2) there is a significant influence between the level of creative thinking on the cognitive and psychomotor learning outcomes; and (3) there is a very significant influence between the level of creative thinking on the affective learning outcomes of class XI BDT students.

[Bahasa]: Penelitian kualitatif ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui proses berpikir kreatif siswa dalam memecahkan masalah matematika berdasarkan model Wallas (1926). Subjek penelitian terdiri dari 6 siswa kelas VII, masing-masing dua siswa memiliki kemampuan matematika tinggi, sedang, dan rendah. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan tes dan wawancara. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa proses berpikir kreatif siswa kategori tinggi yaitu siswa memahami permasalahan dan informasi yang diberikan dengan menuliskan apa yang diketahui maupun yang ditanyakan (persiapan), siswa tidak membutuhkan waktu yang lama untuk memikirkan solusi dari permasalahan yang dihadapi dengan mengingat soal yang sudah diajarkan (inkubasi), siswa mendapatkan ide untuk memecahkan masalah (Iluminasi), dan siswa menguji ide dan memeriksa kembali pemecahan masalah sebelum mengambil kesimpulan yang tepat (verifikasi). Proses berpikir kreatif siswa kategori sedang yaitu siswa mencoba untuk memahami permasalahan akan tetapi kurang memahami informasi atau petunjuk yang diberikan (persiapan), siswa diam megingat kembali rumus yang digunakan untuk memecahkan masalah (Inkubasi), siswa menghasilkan ide berdasarkan pemahamannya terhadap soal untuk memecahkan masalah (Iluminasi), dan siswa menguji ide dihasilkan dan tidak memeriksa kembali proses pemecahan masalah (verifikasi). Proses berpikir kreatif siswa kategori rendah yaitu siswa tidak memahami permasalahan dan informasi yang diberikan (persiapan), siswa membutuhkan waktu yang lama untuk memikirkan solusi dari permasalahan (Inkubasi), siswa gagal dalam menemukan ide untuk memecahkan permasalahan (Iluminasi), dan siswa menguji ide yang dihasilkan dan tidak memeriksa kembali jawaban yang telah diujikan (verifikasi). Kata kunci: Berpikir Kreatif; Model Wallas; Pemecahan Masalah; Kemampuan Siswa  [English]: This qualitative research aims at getting insight on students’ creative thinking in solving mathematics problems based on Wallas’ model (1926). The subjects are six students in 7th grade, each two students respectively have high, medium and low mathematics ability.  Data is collected through test and interview. This research shows that the students in high category can understand the problem and given information by writing what is known and asked (preparation), can easily think the solution of the problem by remembering the previous problem (incubation), get the ideas to solve the problem (illumination), and examine the ideas and re-check the solution before drawing the proper conclusion (verification). The students in medium category try to understand the problem but they are less in understanding the given information or hint (preparation), remember the formula to solve the problem (incubation), generate the ideas from their understanding to solve the problem (illumination), and examine the ideas and do not check the solution again (verification). For students in low category, they do not understand the problem and the given information (preparation), have a while to think the solution (incubation), fail to find any ideas to solve the problem (illumination), and examine the generated ideas and do not re-check the solution (verification).     Keywords: Creative Thinking; Walla’s Model; Problem Solving; Students’Ability
