Analysis of Creative Thinking Ability in Geometry Learning with the Problem Based Learning (PBL) Model

Abstract

Abstrak. This study aims to analyze and describe the ability to think creatively in geometry learning with the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model. The type of research used is descriptive-qualitative with research subjects 6 students selected by purposive sampling technique consisting of 2 students representing the group with high cognitive abilities, hereinafter referred to as the upper group with codes S-01 and S-02, 2 students representing the group with moderate cognitive ability, hereinafter referred to as the middle group with codes S-03 and S-04 and 2 students representing the group with low cognitive abilities, hereinafter referred to as the lower group with codes S-05 and S-06. The data collection techniques used were interviews, observation, document review, questionnaires and creative thinking ability test questions.
