Pengaruh Pembelajaran Berbasis Problem Solving Terhadap Peningkatan Kreativitas Matematis Siswa

Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the effect of problem solving-based learning on increasing students' mathematical creativity. With an experimental-based quantitative approach, the research involved two groups of students: an experimental group that used problem solving methods and a control group that used conventional learning methods. The research results showed a significant increase in the mathematical creativity of experimental group students, with an increase of 25%, compared to the control group which only increased by 5.7%. The main factors that contribute to the success of this method include active student involvement, group discussions, and a supportive learning environment. This study recommends widespread implementation of problem solving methods for mathematics learning to improve students' creative and problem solving abilities.
