Abstract

The main objective of this research is to produce junior high school Physics teaching materials oriented to a simple practical tool that can be used to foster junior high school students 'creative thinking skills, with the specific aim of knowing the indicators of junior high school students' creative thinking skills that can be grown through the use of a guided inquiry learning model assisted by a simple practicum tool. This type of research is a quasi-experimental research with the design of Equivalent Pretest-Posttest Design (Design of Prates-Pascates Equivalent). This research was conducted at the Labschool Junior High School of Tadulako University where  the class VIII students being the research subjects. The research instrument used was an essay test and observation sheet. The data analysis technique used was quantitative data analyzed by inferential statistics, calculating the significance of the differences in the average of both groups of samples and qualitative data analyzed by using the stages of data reduction, data presentation and conclusion. The results showed that a guided inquiry learning model assisted by a simple practicum tool could foster the creative thinking skills of the students of Labschool UNTAD Junior High School in the indicators of flexible thinking, fluent thinking and originality.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the distribution of students' styles in learning Physics using the Kolb Learning Style Inventory (KLSI) in two different classes, namely XD and XG. The analysis results reveal that the Converger learning style is the most dominant, with 55.17% of students in XD and 73.53% in XG. The Converger learning style, characterized by a tendency for logical thinking and the ability to apply theory in practical contexts, is highly relevant in Physics education, which requires strong conceptual understanding and problem-solving applications. In addition, Converger, Accommodator, Diverger, and Assimilator learning styles were also identified, albeit in smaller numbers, with varying percentages across the XD and XG classes. This study reveals that the dominance of the Converger learning style in both classes suggests a strong alignment between current Physics teaching methods and the learning preferences of the majority of students. However, the presence of other learning styles underscores the importance of adopting diverse teaching strategies to ensure that all students, regardless of their learning style, are engaged and achieve optimal learning outcomes. This study also supports previous findings which proved that the Converger learning style is particularly effective in subjects that require analytical thinking and practical application, such as Physics. The implications of these findings advocate for developing more inclusive and adaptive teaching methods, integrating approaches that cater to all learning styles in the classroom.
