The main objective of this research is to produce junior high school Physics teaching materials oriented to a simple practical tool that can be used to foster junior high school students 'creative thinking skills, with the specific aim of knowing the indicators of junior high school students' creative thinking skills that can be grown through the use of a guided inquiry learning model assisted by a simple practicum tool. This type of research is a quasi-experimental research with the design of Equivalent Pretest-Posttest Design (Design of Prates-Pascates Equivalent). This research was conducted at the Labschool Junior High School of Tadulako University where  the class VIII students being the research subjects. The research instrument used was an essay test and observation sheet. The data analysis technique used was quantitative data analyzed by inferential statistics, calculating the significance of the differences in the average of both groups of samples and qualitative data analyzed by using the stages of data reduction, data presentation and conclusion. The results showed that a guided inquiry learning model assisted by a simple practicum tool could foster the creative thinking skills of the students of Labschool UNTAD Junior High School in the indicators of flexible thinking, fluent thinking and originality.

Profile of students’ creative thinking and conceptual understanding is essential to create an initial description of students’ competencies in overcoming their learning difficulties. The research aims to describe profile of concept understanding and creative thinking skills of 7thgrade students of all SMP Negeri (public junior high school) in Rasau Jaya sub-district, Kubu Raya Regency, West Kalimantan, Indonesia in photosynthesis content. The research uses qualitative descriptive method. The sampling technique employs disproportionate stratified random sampling. Samples consist of 143 students of 7th grade from three SMP Negeri in Rasau Jaya Sub-district, Kuburaya Regency, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. The data collection technique utilizes creative thinking skill test in the form of an essay with fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration aspects. Students’ concept understanding test is in the form of four-tier diagnostic test. Data analysis employs descriptive statistics with percentage of creative thinking and conceptual understanding in categories of understanding, partial understanding, misconception, and not understanding. The creative thinking skill percentage of SMPN students in Rasau Jaya, Indonesia in the originality and flexibility aspect is in a fairly creative category, whereas in the elaboration and fluency aspect the category is still less creative. The highest percentage of students’ conceptual understanding is misconception of 45.25% and followed by an understanding of 30.64%, not understand of 13.2%, and partial understanding of 10.97%. The obtained data give evidence that natural sciences (IPA) learning knowledge among junior high school students, especially concept understanding and creative thinking, is still low. Therefore, teachers could develop students’ creative thinking skills so their concept understanding could be improved.

A research that has purpose to develop science learning material on pollution matter based on Quantum Teaching model to try student creative thinking skills had been done, it was done in two phase, namely learning material development phase with 4D model from Thiagarajan and try out on 30 junior high school students in class with pretest-posttest design. Data analysis with qualitative and quantitative descriptive. Validation analysis result of learning materials were valid with average of reliability 90,57%  and 80,95% in average of implementation reliability. Test of student achievement on knowledge competency was analyzed by N-Gain. It showed increasing (0,88), average of student skill competency was 3,86 (A-) and student attitude competency was excellent. Student creative thinking skills in the beginning of learning were  42,67% with fair category and in the closing of learning were 70,12% with creative category. Based on research result , it can be concluded that science learning materials on pollution matter based on Quantum Teaching model that had been developed were proper and can be used to try student creative thinking skill of junior high school. Telah dilakukan penelitian yang bertujuan mengembangkan perangkat pembelajaran IPA  materi pencemaran lingkungan yang berorientasi model Quantum Teaching untuk melatih kemampuan berpikir kreatif siswa, yang dilaksanakan dalam dua tahap, yaitu tahap pengembangan perangkat pembelajaran dengan model 4-D dari Thiagarajan dan diuji coba pada 30 siswa SMP kelas VII dengan pretest-posttest design. Analisis data secara deskriptif kualitatif kuantitatif. Hasil analisis validasi perangkat pembelajaran valid dengan rata-rata reliabilitas 90,57% dan reliabilitas keterlaksanaan pembelajaran 80,95%. Tes hasil belajar siswa pada kompetensi pengetahuan dianalisis menggunakan N-Gain mengalami peningkatan (0,88), rata-rata kompetensi keterampilan siswa 3,86 (A-), dan kompetensi sikap siswa sangat baik. Kemampuan berpikir kreatif siswa pada awal pembelajaran sebesar 42,67% dengan kategori cukup kreatif dan di akhir pembelajaran sebesar 70,12% dengan kategori kreatif. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa perangkat pembelajaran IPA pada materi pencemaran lingkungan berorientasi model Quantum Teaching yang dikembangkan layak dan dapat digunakan untuk melatih kemampuan berpikir kreatif siswa SMP.

The purpose of this study was to determine the increase in creative thinking skills of junior high school students who use learning by using the problem posing approach and the scientific approach to classroom learning, especially in mathematics. Quasi experiment is this type of research with the control group pre test and post test design. The research was conducted at one of the junior high schools in Cimahi City. As many as 62 students of class VII being sampled in this study consisted of 30 students in the experimental class with problem posing learning and 32 students in the control class with scientific learning. The testing in this study uses IBM SPSS version 22 software. The conclusions from the results of this study are 1) Increasing the ability of mathematical creative thinking by using a problem posing approach better than the scientific approach, 2) A problem posing approach if it is well planned for effectiveness when learning takes place, and 3) Students who are inaccurate in solving the problem of the ability to think creatively because they do not understand the problems asked in the questions. This can be seen from several responses of students who are incomplete in giving responses

The learning process in schools hasn’t been able to cultivate the habit of thinking in high levels, one of which is creative thinking. This skill can be improved by the-teaching-with-analogies model. The research aimed to know the effect of the teaching-with-analogies model application to students creative thinking. This research was done at Labschool Jakarta Junior High School on May 2014. Samples in the research were VII A, VII B, VII E and VII F with purposive sampling. Samples were decided by simple random sampling, which had 30 students from each class. The methods used quasi experiment with posttest-only control design. Based on calculation, the average score of student in experiment class was 80 and the average score of student in control class was 72. Normality test was tested by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and homogenity test was tested by F-test. Based on calculation, the data from experiment were normally distributed and homogeny. This research showed that implementation of the-teaching-withanalogies model has affected to creative thinking skills of student on junior high school.
