APPLICATION OF CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING MODELS IN EFFORTS IMPROVING STUDENTS' CREATIVE MATHEMATICAL THINKING ABILITIES

Abstract

The use of modern technology today allows students to be more active and creative in participating in learning activities. The purpose of this research is to find out whether there is an increase in students' mathematical creative thinking abilities using the Creative Problem Solving (CPS) learning model compared to ordinary learning, and to find out students' responses to mathematics learning. This research uses a quasi-experimental quantitative approach model with the Nonequivalent Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design research design. Data collection used was through test (pretest-posttest) and non-test (questionnaire) techniques. The data source or sample for this research was class X students of SMKN 1 Subang for the 2023-2024 academic year with a sample of 70 people. The procedures used to process this data are the normality test, homogeneity test, t test (independent sample t-test), and the Man Whitney U test. The results of the research show that the CPS model can significantly improve students' creative thinking abilities compared to the control class. get a normal learning model. Overall students responded positively to learning using the CPS model.
