A Teacher's Journal: September 2001

Twenty-five Ferndale School District students in a second- and third-grade combination classroom were asked several questions during the mathematics problem-solving lesson in the first week of school: “Where did you go this summer? How far did you travel? Who traveled the farthest?” Their interest was immediately piqued. Each student was given a 3 × 5 index card and told to list the places that he or she had gone that summer and to “guesstimate” the distances from Ferndale, Washington, to these destinations. The students displayed creative thinking about the task by immediately starting to print information on their cards.

Abstrak: Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui seberapa besar kontribusi perkuliahan kajian matematika sekolah 1 dengan metode diskusi terhadap pengembangan kemampuan berpikir kreatif matematis dan kemampan pemecahan masalah mahasiswa pada level KAM (atas, sedang, rendah). Penelitian ini merupakan tipe penelitian kuasi eksperimen. Sampel pada penelitian ini terdiri 89 orang mahasiswa semester 1 tahun pada Program Studi Pendidikan Matematika yang mewakili mahasiswa level tinggi, sedang, dan rendah. Data diperoleh lewat tes, sedang analisis data dilakukan lewat uji t dan anava dua jalur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: (1) ada perbedaan pencapaian KBKM mahasiswa antara kelas eksperimen dan kelas kontrol; (2) ada perbedaan pencapaian KPMM mahasiswa antara kelas eksperimen dan kelas kontrol; (3) tidak terdapat interaksi antara pembelajaran dan KAM mahasiswa terhadap kemampuan berpikir kreatif matematis; dan (4) tidak ada interaksi antara pembelajaran dan mahasiswa terhadap kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematis. DEVELOPING MATHEMATICAL CREATIVE THINKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING ABILITY THROUGH DISCUSSION METHOD Abstract: This study is aimed at determining the contribution of generative learning model using discussion method to the development of creative thinking ability and mathematics problem solving at different levels (high, medium, low). This study is a quasi-experimental research involving 89 first semester mathematics students represesenting different levels. Data were collected through test and analyzed using t-test, and two-way ANOVA. The results of the study are: (1) the creative thinking ability of students in experiment class and that of students in controll class are different, (2) the KPMM of experiement class and that of control class are different, (3) learning and KAM level have no correlation with creative thinking ability, and (4) learning and KAM level have no correlation mathematics problem solving ability. Keywords: Creative thinking ability, mathematics problem solving, discussion method

The creative Thinking Ability in Elementary School Mathematics Problem Solving. The purpose of this research is how to know the quality of learning used and how to find out the creative thinking ability in student problem solving. The subjects of this classroom action research were all fourth grade students of SDN Candirejo 01, West Ungaran District, Semarang Regency, 2020/2021 academic year. This research is a qualitative research. The results of this research indicate that 1) The learning quality shows good; 2) The creative thinking ability in solving mathematical problems is analyzed by paying attention to 3 criteria, such as fluency, flexibility, and novelty. Based on the discussion that has been done by researchers on 10 research subjects.

The aim of this research is knowing whether research instrument is feasible or no to get data of research. The instrument of this research is logical mathematics quotient test with 25 problems in multiple choice and mathematics problem solving test with 4 questions in essay. Testing the appropriateness of instrument of logical mathematics intelligence consist of content validity, level of problem difficulties, power differentiator, and reliability. Meanwhile, testing the appropriateness of instrument of mathematics problem solving use content validity. The validator for both of logical mathematics intelligence test and mathematics problem solving test is expert judgement. There are 39 students of Senior High School as respondent who are joining instrument try out. The results of appropriateness of instrument show: 1) there are 25 questions of logical mathematics quotient instrument which are feasible to take research data, and 2) instrument of mathematics problem solving in linier equation system material is feasible to use with some revisions from expert judgment.
