This study examines and analyzes the differences between GeoGebra-assisted community learning and conventional learning in improving students' creative thinking skills in junior high schools. The research method uses quantitative, designed with an experimental pattern of nonequivalent control groups. Samples taken not randomly from two different classes amounted to 79 people. One class gets community learning with the help of GeoGebra, and the other class gets conventional learning. Data obtained by using the test. The test was conducted twice, namely pretest and posttest. Normalized N-Gain is done to measure the increase in creative thinking skills. Data analysis used an independent sample t-test. Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that there was a significant increase in students' creative thinking skills. Learning community is student-centered learning in groups (Student-Centered Learning). The research findings consider it important to implement GeoGebra-assisted learning communities according to the characteristics and development of the student learning environment.

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.

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

Purpose of the study: This study aimed to describe the ability of creative thinking and student motivation and whether there is a relationship between creative thinking with student motivation to learn mathematics. Methodology: In this study using quantitative associative research types with correlational designs using 125 junior high school students obtained using purposive sampling techniques, data analysis in this study using descriptive and inferential statistics. Main Findings: In this study, there is a relationship between creative thinking skills and student motivation in mathematics, which is supported by creative thinking skills and motivation that shows good dominant results. Applications of this study: This research can be a consideration for teachers in teaching mathematics to develop students' creative thinking skills and foster student motivation in learning. Novelty/Originality of this study: In this study, the renewal is to see from two indicators possessed by creative thinking skills, namely sensitivity, and elaboration, as well as motivation that has a relationship with 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.

This research is motivated by the lack of ability to think creatively Mathematically junior secondary students. This research aims to determine differences in achievement and increase the ability of creative thinking and independent learning as well as the association between mathematics student who obtained the usual scientific approach to obtaining scientific approach based etnomatematika. This research method is experimental design with pretest posttest control group design in this study population eighth grade students in one of the Junior High School in Bandung, the sample was taken two classes of ninth grade there. Instruments in this study is a test description of critical and creative thinking skills as much as 5 mathematical problems. Based on the results of the study are Differences in Achievement and improvement Ability Creative Thinking Mathematically junior high school students are learning to use PendekatanSaintifik usual with the use Approach Scientific based etnomatematika, and there is no difference Independence Learning student learning using the approach Scientific with the gain approaches saintif based Etnomatematika and are associated antarakemampuan Creative Thinking Mathematically students with learning independence student learning using etnomatematika-based Scientific Approach.
