Analysis Of Students Creative Thinking Ability In Solving Open Eended Problems Of Square Equations From The View Of Mathematics Ability In Grade IX MTsN 1 Palu City

Abstract

This study aims to describe the creative thinking ability of students with high and moderate abilities in solving open ended quadratic equation problems in class XI MTsN 1 Palu City. The two students selected as research subjects consisted of a high-ability student and a medium-ability student. This type of research is qualitative research. The data collection techniques used are tests and interviews. The results showed that the subjects had high and medium abilities, (1) At the fluency stage, high and medium ability subjects met all indicators where students were able to solve the given problems with various ideas or solutions to do the problems, (2) At the flexibility stage, high-ability subjects had met all indicators where students could do in two ways, namely the first to do by factorization and the second to do by using the ABC formula, while moderate ability has not met the fluency indicator because it has not been able to do it in another way, (3) At the novelty stage, high-ability and medium subjects have not met the novelty indicator where students have not been able to create or do it in their own way. High-ability subjects meet 2 indicators so that the level of creative thinking of high-ability subjects is at level 3, namely the creative category. While the subject with moderate ability meets 1 indicator so that the level of creative thinking is at level 1, which is the less creative category.
