The implementation of Project-based learning (PjBL) has been recognized as a recommended alternative learning to habituate students to solve their daily problems. This study aimed to describe students’ creative thinking skills (CTS) in water pollution topic using PjBL. The descriptive method was used in this study. The sample in this study were junior high school students in the Bandung City, Indonesia. The instruments used in this study were CTS test, peer assessment, and product creativity assessment rubric.  The data gained were analysed using descriptive statistics analysis in terms of mean and percentage. The results showed that the mean test score of students' CTS was 89% (excellent category). The achievement of peer assessment indicators was 87%, while the performance of product creativity indicators was 88%.  This study concluded that the implementation of PjBL in science learning could improve the CTS of junior high school students.

Abstrak: Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk meningkatkan keterampilan berpikir kreatif dan komunikasi matematis siswa SMP kelas VII dengan menerapkan model pembelajaran Project Based Learning (PjBL) serta untuk mengetahui apakah keterampilan berpikir kreatif siswa memiliki hubungan positif terhadap komunikasi matematis siswa. Penelitian ini dilakukan di SMP XYZ kota Bogor. Adapun kegiatan pada proses pembelajaran ini adalah merancang mathematics board games. Mix method merupakan jenis metode penelitian yang dilakukan dengan teknik pengambilan data dengan wawancara terhadap 5 orang responden, kuesioner dan observasi. Analisa kualitatif dilakukan secara triangulasi. Sedangkan untuk analisa kualitatif dengan menggunakan data yang diperoleh dari instrumen rubrik indikator keterampilan berpikir kreatif dan komunikasi matematis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa implementasi PjBL dapat meningkatkan keterampilan berpikir kreatif dan komunikasi matematis siswa. Secara kuantitatif dengan menggunakan uji statistik korelasi Pearson, diketahui keterampilan berpikir kreatif memiliki hubungan positif dengan keterampilan berpikir kreatif. Abstract: The purpose of this study is to improve the creative thinking skills and mathematical communication of VII grade junior high school students by applying the Project Based Learning (PjBL) learning model and to find out whether students 'creative thinking skills have a positive correlation with students' mathematical communication skill. This research was conducted at SMP XYZ in Bogor. The activities in this learning process are designing mathematics board games. Mix method as the research methodology that is used with data collection techniques by interviewing 5 respondents, questionnaires and observations. Qualitative analysis is done by triangulation. Whereas for quanitative analysis using data obtained from the rubric instrument of creative thinking skills and mathematical communication indicators. The implementation of PjBL could improve students' creative thinking skills and mathematical communication.

The study was conducted to develop science module based on project-based learning that is feasible to be implemented in science learning and has potency to build critical thinking skills of junior high school students. The study was Research and Development (RD), modified from Borg Gall steps covering only research and information collecting, planning, preliminary form of product development, expert judgment, product revision, and final product. The subjects were 2 expert lecturers (content expert and media expert) and 2 science teachers of SMP N 1 Wonosari. The types of data were quantitative and qualitative. Data were collected by means of SSP validation sheets and disaster preparedness identification sheets. The techniques of data analysis were descriptive analysis of qualitative and quantitative to 5 grading scale. The result of the study shows that science module is feasible to be implemented in science learning and has potency to build critical thinking skills of junior high school students.

Creative thinking skill is one of the 21 st century skills targets in implementing the 2013 curriculum.However, the fact is that 90% of 70 junior high school students reveal that they need textbooks to improve their creative thinking skills, namely textbooks with a brain-based learning approach using comic strips. Meanwhile, 88% of the 27 IPA teachers stated that they had never used comics to improve creative thinking. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of textbooks with a brain-based learning approach equipped with comic strips for creative thinking.The design of the research used was one group pretest-posttest design with four meetings. The results showed an increase in learning outcomes and creative thinking skills. The results can be seen from the N-gain value of the first meeting is 0.66, with medium criteria. The second meeting is 0.71, with the high criteria. The third meeting is 0.71, with the high criteria. The fourth meeting is 0.73 with the high criteria. The mean creative thinking results from the first meeting to the four meetings were 80, 81.11, 82.78, and 80.56. So it can be concluded that textbooks with a brain-based learning approach effectively improve learning outcomes and creative thinking.

The purpose of this study was to develop an assessment instrument to measure creative thinking skills of junior high school students on integrated science of atom, ion, and molecules material. The instrument consists of a number of questions that require creative thinking skills and rubric assessment about material of atoms, ions, and molecules for junior high school students. The results of the experts validation and trials at small and large groups indicate that the product is appropriate and effective to be tested in the field. Assessment instruments were developed to help teachers identify the creative thinking skills of junior high school students on atoms, ions, and molecules.
