Abstract

In the 21st century is an urge that teachers are not only required to change teaching methods but also have a role and responsibility to be able to motivate students' reasoning and logic to think critically, creatively, and innovatively. This study was conducted to assess the level of creative thinking skills of high school chemistry teachers in one of the districts/cities in Yogyakarta Province. As a survey with a quantitative approach, this study involved 24 in-service chemistry teachers as respondents. All of the population became the respondents in this study so that saturated sampling technique was applied. Creative thinking skills were measured using the creative thinking skill test (CTST). The results of the Aiken content analysis validity show that the instrument was suitable to apply with a score of 0.92. Six out of 10 test items are empirically valid with a reliability value of 0.697. CTST was filled in by respondents at the chemistry teachers' meeting forum. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics to answer the categories of in-service chemistry teachers' creative thinking. Based on the results of CTST, it was 3.20 related to a sufficient creative thinking level category. The current research result suggests professional training for teachers to optimize their creativity in chemistry teaching strategy.

Abstract

The development of sience, technology, and transformation in various sector allows the need of capable measure: how effective their role in learning interactions. This study seeks to reveal the profile of collaboration skills (CS) and communication confidence (CC) of pre-service chemsitry teacher (PCT). Convenience sampling technique was adopted for this study. A total of 26 PCTs were involved as research samples. The research intervention was conducted through six online lectures for PCT. Group discussions and presentations were implemented to collect data. Therefore, non-tests were used as data collection techniques. Data were obtained through two closed-ended questionnaires: the Collaborative Skill Questionnaire (CS-Q) and the Communication Confidence Questionnaire (CC-Q). The validity of the instruments was tested theoretically and empirically. Sixteen of the 20 CS-Q items and 22 of the 30 CC-Q items were valid. The Cronbach's alpha reliability estimates for the CS-Q and CC-Q instruments were 0.753 and 0.804, respectively. With data in the form of a Likert scale, descriptive statistics were used to analyze the profile levels of the PCT-CS and PCT-CC. The level criteria were divided into five categories. Based on these results, the PCT-CS was generally at a good level. Meanwhile, the PCT-CC level was sufficient. Based on the research results that have gone through the data analysis stage, learning activities need to implement methods that are capable of training PCT-CS and PCT-CC
