Twenty-two sixth graders (11 boys and 11 girls), IQs between 118 and 130, were measured for their creative ability with verbal and pictorial material, their degree of perceptual defense regarding individual conflicts found in projective test measures, and their manner of resolving social conflict situations. Hypotheses regarding the relation of creative thinking ability to the handling of personal conflict and the resolution of social situation conflicts were tested. There were no age or sex differences among subjects, but, according to the hypotheses, subjects high in creative thinking ability, when contrasted with subjects low in creative thinking ability, were less repressive in their responses to conflictful projective material, introduced more new ideas in the resolution of social conflicts, and formulated more solutions in which all interested parties' needs were considered and met.

The aim of this research was to analyse students’ creative thinking ability and the process involved in the development of students’ creative thinking, as well as to examine the differences between male and female students, in order to provide a better understanding of both gender in creative thinking ability. Creative thinking is represented by four indicators; fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. In this research students’ creative thinking was measured by using a Test of Creative Thinking Ability, which consisted of five open-ended questions, while the process of creative thinking development was obeserved throughout the classroom teaching-learning activities, as well as the strategies and approaches implied by the teacher. The result showed student’s creative thinking ability was adequate (59%), in which the students scored the highest number in fluency (71,2%), followed by elaboration (59,5%), originality (58,5%), and flexibility (46,8%). Meanwhile, the process of creative thinking development was considered generally adequate in supporting students’ creative thinking ability, the score of the whole process in each indicators were: fluency (85,7%), flexibility (85,7%), originality (78,5%), elaboration (94,5%). Quantitative data analysis showed a statistically different results of fluency and elaboration between male and female students, while the result in flexibility and originality showed no-significant difference between both gender. Positive response related to students’ perception about their creative thinking ability were obtained using the students’ questionnaire as the instrument. Most of the students had a great perception of ther creative ability, where male students tend to have higher perspective about their creative ability than female students.

Abstract This aim of this study is to descript mathematics thinking creative ability of high school students (SMA) through open ended problem learning of SPLTV. Type of this research is descriptive qualitative. The subjects of this research are the students of class XII SMA. The steps of the research are namely (1) orientation, (2) material supply, (3) giving and solving open ended problem, (4) presentation and (5) conclusion. The mathematics creative thinking ability consists of  (a) fluency, ability of the student  to give a right answer fluency, (b) flexibility, ability of the student  for using various manners in problem solving, (c) novelty, ability of the student to give a new answer and different with other student. The results of this research, is that the students have ability of mathematics creative thinking.Keywords: creative thinking, open ended problem, SBLTVAbstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kemampuan berpikir kreatif matematis siswa SMA melalui pembelajaran open ended problem materi SPLTV.

People’s ability to think creatively is a primary means of technological and cultural progress, yet the neural architecture of the highly creative brain remains largely undefined. Here, we employed a recently developed method in functional brain imaging analysis—connectome-based predictive modeling—to identify a brain network associated with high-creative ability, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data acquired from 163 participants engaged in a classic divergent thinking task. At the behavioral level, we found a strong correlation between creative thinking ability and self-reported creative behavior and accomplishment in the arts and sciences (r = 0.54). At the neural level, we found a pattern of functional brain connectivity related to high-creative thinking ability consisting of frontal and parietal regions within default, salience, and executive brain systems. In a leave-one-out cross-validation analysis, we show that this neural model can reliably predict the creative quality of ideas generated by novel participants within the sample. Furthermore, in a series of external validation analyses using data from two independent task fMRI samples and a large task-free resting-state fMRI sample, we demonstrate robust prediction of individual creative thinking ability from the same pattern of brain connectivity. The findings thus reveal a whole-brain network associated with high-creative ability comprised of cortical hubs within default, salience, and executive systems—intrinsic functional networks that tend to work in opposition—suggesting that highly creative people are characterized by the ability to simultaneously engage these large-scale brain networks.

This study aims to determine the ability of creative thinking high school students in physics learning, know the form of assessment of creative thinking abilities. The study was conducted at SMAN 6 Yogyakrata. This type of research is a survey with a cross-sectional method that is a survey conducted once and at a time. The subjects were the principals, teachers of physics from SMAN 6 Yogyakrata and 30 grade XI students. observations, interviews, and questionnaires were used as data collection techniques. The data analysis method used was the quantitative-qualitative descriptive analysis. The results showed that the creative thinking ability of class XI MIA 1 students at SMAN 6 Yogyakarta can be said to be in the average and quite good category, although there are some students whose level of creative thinking ability is low. In addition, the form of assessment used by physics teachers has not been effective and accurate enough in assessing students 'creative thinking abilities. So it is recommended to use The Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT) in physics learning because it has been proven to be accurate in assessing students' creative thinking abilities.
