Abstract

The Effect of Science Process Skills-based Worksheet to Improve Students' Creative Thinking Skills in Physics Learning. Objective: This study aimed to examine the effect of using SPS-Based Worksheet on improving students' creative thinking skills in learning Physics. Methods: Experimental method was implemented using non-equivalent control group design, involving 30 high school students who were divided into experimental class and control class. Data analysis was conducted using t-test to compare the average improvement of creative thinking skills between the two groups, as well as ANOVA to measure differences in achievement based on students' ability levels. Findings: The results showed that students in the experimental class had a significant improvement in creative thinking skills compared to students in the control class. Based on the analysis of creative thinking indicators, it was found that the experimental class showed significant improvement in all indicators, namely fluency, originality, flexibility, and elaboration, with the highest contribution in the originality indicator. In addition, result of ANOVA test showed that students' ability level had a significant influence on the achievement on each indicator, where students with higher ability level showed more consistent achievement on all indicators. Conclusion: This study shows that the use of SPS-Based Worksheet is effective in improving students' overall creative thinking skills, especially in science process skills, and in learning Physics. Keywords: student worksheets, science process skills, creative thinking skills, physics.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.23960/jpp.v14.i3.2024112

Abstract

Diagnosing students' abilities in learning physics is crucial so that learning designs can be tailored to students' actual learning conditions. This study aims to diagnose students' abilities in physics and identify appropriate learning strategies used by physics teachers according to students' needs. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, involving 163 students and five physics teachers from five high schools in Indonesia. The research instruments consisted of a two-tier, 15-item multiple-choice test administered via Microsoft Forms and a semi-structured interview guide for physics teachers. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively using statistical categorization, while qualitative data were thematically analyzed to identify relevant learning strategies. The diagnostic results indicated that students' abilities in critical thinking, problem-solving, and scientific literacy were in the moderate category, while their conceptual understanding and numerical abilities were in the low category. Furthermore, most students experienced false-negative errors, indicating that they understood physics material conceptually but had difficulty applying those concepts to solve contextual problems. These findings suggest that students' learning difficulties stem from challenges in transferring conceptual knowledge into problem-solving situations. Therefore, teachers are encouraged to implement problem-based learning strategies that guide students in constructing their knowledge through scientific inquiry to find solutions based on accurate physics concepts.
