IMPROVING STUDENTS' CREATIVE THINKING SKILLS USING SCIENTIFIC BASED ELECTRONIC SCIENCE MODULE

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has changed various aspects of human life today, especially in the
world of education which requires all elements of education to keep classes active even
though it is done online. Distance learning requires students to be able to learn independently.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the improvement of students' creative thinking skills
on the material of vibration and waves using a scientific-based science module. The method
used in this research is pre-experimental with one group pretest-posttest design. A total of 30
students of class VIII SMPN 15 Surakarta, were randomly selected as participants in this
study. To measure the improvement of students' creative thinking skills, multiple choice tests
have been developed based on indicators of creative thinking abilities. After analyzing the
data, the N-gain value on the fluency indicator is 0.39, the flexibility indicator is 0.58, the
originality indicator is 0.59 and the elaboration indicator is 0.45. This number means that
creative thinking is in the moderate category. Further analysis shows that, by using scientificbased
electronic modules on vibration and wave materials, students' creative thinking skills
can increase, especially on the originality indicator
