Abstract

The purpose of this study was to describe the mathematical connection ability of grade XI students in solving story problems of linear equations of three variables in terms of problem solving steps according to Polya. The method used in this research is qualitative research. Student connection data was collected using tests and interviews. Then the students' connection data were analyzed based on three types of connections, namely modeling connections, connections between concepts and procedure connections. The results showed that the modeling connection process occurred in the understand the problem and carry out the plan steps. The connection process between concepts occurs at the device a plane and carry out the plan steps. While the procedural connection in the carry out the plan and look back steps.  Students' mathematical connection skills are shown in translating problems into mathematical models, connecting between mathematical concepts and procedures. The connection component that has not been mastered by students is not understanding the concept of simplifying equations by grouping similar terms. Students tend to use the operation of moving segments in simplifying the equation.

Abstract

Creative thinking is an essential competence in mathematics learning because it enables students to generate diverse ideas, approach problems from multiple perspectives, and produce original solutions. However, in the Indonesian educational context, students’ creative thinking skills remain low, and current assessment tools have not adequately measured all dimensions of creativity namely fluency, flexibility, and originality. This study aims to fill this gap by developing and validating a culturally contextualized open-ended assessment instrument designed to measure students’ creative thinking skills comprehensively. Using a research and development (R&D) approach, the instrument was tested with 28 ninth grade students from a junior high school in Malang City. The instrument’s construct validity was examined through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), and its internal consistency was tested using Cronbach’s Alpha. The findings indicate that the instrument demonstrates good reliability and a clear three factor structure aligning with theoretical dimensions of creative thinking. These results suggest that the developed assessment can effectively capture students’ creative potential within culturally relevant mathematical contexts. The study contributes to educational assessment practices by providing a valid and reliable tool that promotes culturally responsive approaches to fostering creative thinking in mathematics learning.

Abstract

Creativity is a key component of twenty-first century competencies and an essential element of mathematical problem solving. In Indonesia, the curriculum emphasizes creativity, yet valid and reliable instruments for assessing students’ creative mathematical thinking remain limited. This study aimed to design and validate a culturally contextualized mathematical creativity test that measures fluency, flexibility, and originality through open-ended problem-solving tasks. The instrument consisted of two contextualized items: (1) a task based on Gobak Sodor, a traditional Indonesian game, requiring students to design and analyze geometric field partitions; and (2) a task based on Tempe Sanan, a local food product, requiring innovative cutting designs and area calculations. Responses from 23 junior secondary students were scored on a 1–4 scale for each creativity dimension, resulting in six observed variables. Data were analyzed using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) to identify the latent factor structure, followed by Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to test model fit. EFA indicated a two-factor solution, with fluency forming one distinct factor and flexibility-originality clustering as another. CFA confirmed the adequacy of this two-factor model, with good fit indices (χ²/df = 1.42, CFI = 0.972, TLI = 0.953, RMSEA = 0.061, SRMR = 0.045). Both factors demonstrated high reliability (α = 0.87 and α = 0.94). The findings provide strong evidence that mathematical creativity in this context is best represented by two dimensions: ideational fluency and structural creativity (flexibility–originality). The study contributes to the development of culturally responsive and psychometrically sound instruments for assessing creativity in mathematics education, aligning with the goals of the Indonesian curriculum.

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this qualitative research is describing open-ended problem solving assessments for measuring the profile of student’s mathematical creative thinking, and describing student’s mathematical gender-based creative thinking profile. The assessments forms were open-ended problem solving sheet and interview guide. The research subjects were 3 female and 3 male sixth graders at one of elementary school in Malang, whose mathematical creative thinking capability regarded as high, fair, low level for each gender group. The students whose mathematical creative thinking high have all the three aspects of creative thinking: fluency, flexibility, and originality aspects of creativity. The students who have fair level of mathematical creative thinking fulfill only two aspects that are fluency and flexibility aspects. The students whose mathematical creative thinking low have only fluency aspect. Female students solve mathematical problems more fluently than boys. The male student who has high level of mathematical creative thinking has visual spatial ability better than the same level female student. Also the high mathematical profeciency female student has better mathematical reasoning ability than the male student of the same level. Abstrak: Tujuan penelitian ini mengkaji asesmen pemecahan masalah open-ended untuk mengukur profil berpikir kreatif matematis siswa dan mengkaji profil berpikir kreatif matematis siswa berdasar gender. Asesmen pemecahan masalah open-ended berupa lembar-lembar pemecahan masalah open-ended dan pedoman wawancara untuk mengukur profil berpikir kreatif matematis siswa. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif. Subjek penelitian terdiri dari tiga laki-laki dan tiga perempuan siswa kelas VI di satu sekolah dasar di kota Malang yang masing-masing berkategori berpikir kreatif matematis tinggi, sedang, dan rendah. Siswa laki-laki dan siswa perempuan yang berkategori berpikir kreatif matematis tinggi memenuhi aspek kelancaran, keluwesan, dan keaslian, yang berkategori sedang memenuhi aspek kelancaran dan keluwesan, sedangkan yang berkategori rendah hanya memenuhi aspek kelancaran. Perbedaan yang terjadi muncul pada aspek kelancaran, yaitu siswa perempuan lebih lancar daripada siswa laki-laki. Siswa laki-laki yang berkategori berpikir kreatif matematis tinggi memiliki kemampuan visual spasial yang tinggi, sementara siswa perempuan yang berkategori berpikir matematis tinggi memiliki penalaran matematis yang tinggi.

Abstract

Abstrak: Sebagai entitas dan identitas bangsa Indonesia, Pancasila mempunyai perananyang sangat penting. Entitas dan identitas ini berpengaruh terhadap jati diri dan cirikhas maupun keunikan dari bangsa Indonesia. Sekarang zamannya arus global yangsemakin pesat, ideology Pancasila dikhawatirkan dapat tergeser dan tidak dapatdiwariskan ke generasi selanjutnya. Oleh karena itu, pelestarian ini sudah menjaditugas dan tanggungjawab bersama. Salah satu pelestarian Pancasila dilakukandengan merancang pembelajaran yang berbasis Profil Pelajar Pancasila pada prosespembelajaran di sekolah. Terdiri dari enam aspek dari Profil Pelajar Pancasila yakni;1) Beriman, bertaqwa kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa dan berakhak mulia; 2)Berkebinekaan global; 3) Mandiri; 4) Pemikiran kritis; 5) Kreatif; 6) Bergotongroyong. Permaslahaan dan peneilitian ini dikaji dengan kajian kepustakaan sertamelalui observasi di SMP Negeri 1 Dau Kabupaten Malang. Hasilnya melibatkanProfil Siswa Pancasila ke dalam proses pendidikan di sekolah, ideologi dan nilai-nilailuhur Pancasila secara keseluruhan serta jati diri bangsa Indonesia dapatdiupayakan. Dengan menggunakan Profil Pelajar Pancasila, pelajar dapat menjadisumber daya manusia, tumbuh menjadi warga negara yang demokratis, dan belajarbekerja sama secara unggul di Abad ke-21.
