Abstract

This study aims to describe the creative thinking process of junior high school students in solving open-ended polyhedron problems. The subjects in this study were 8th-grade students of SMP Negeri 4 Kota Bekasi who were active during the 2023/2024 academic year as many as 42 students. The research was conducted on 8th-grade students of SMP Negeri 4 Bekasi City who have learned about geometry flat side. This descriptive qualitative research utilized a creative thinking test instrument with one question. The results of the creative thinking skills test were then analyzed based on three creative thinking skills indicators: fluency, flexibility, and novelty. Fluency is the ability to produce many solutions, flexibility produces a variety of solutions, novelty produces new and unconventional solutions. Students' level of creative thinking ability can be categorized as high, moderate, or low. From analyzing the data, this research discovered that (1) 2 students with high mathematical creative thinking skills obtained a percentage of 4.76%, (2) 32 students with moderate mathematical creative thinking skills obtained a percentage of 76.19%, (3) 8 students with low mathematical creative thinking skills obtained a percentage of 19.05%, with an average score of 26.67, which value has not reached KKM. The analysis results show that students' mathematical creative thinking skills are in low category.
