Abstract

This study aims to develop and validate an instrument for assessing creative thinking skills on the topic of temperature and heat among high school students. A quantitative research design was employed, with data analysis conducted using the Rasch model. The study involved 136 grade XI students from two high schools in West Bandung Regency, consisting of 51 male and 85 female participants. The Rasch analysis results indicated a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.78 (good) and an item reliability value of 0.97 (excellent). However, minor revisions are required in the wording of three items to improve linguistic clarity. The percentage distribution of creative thinking indicators was as follows: fluency (70.34%), flexibility (68.57%), originality (60.13%), and elaboration (61.76%). These findings reveal that students’ creative thinking is predominantly characterized by fluency, suggesting that they are relatively proficient at generating multiple ideas based on given problems, likely due to a good understanding of the material. Nevertheless, further instructional efforts are needed to foster higher levels of creative thinking, particularly in flexibility, originality, and elaborationKeywords: creative thinking skills test, temperature and heat concepts, rasch analysis

Abstract

Student Worksheet (LKPD) is a learning tool that has a role in activating students in the learning process. This training aims to introduce technology that can support practicum as an optimization of the implementation of Physics practicum activities by utilizing the Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite application. The methods used in this activity include socialization, lectures, and discussions. Participants in this activity were Physics teachers totaling 46 people. This activity was conducted in three meetings. Participants received an introduction to the various features of the Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite application at the first meeting. Expert lecturers guided the trainees in the application of the tool in the second meeting. After receiving guidance, the trainees were directed to make the LKPD which would then be presented at the third meeting. This training produced six LKPDs with six different Physics materials. The results of the LKPD assessment by experts showed a very positive view of the quality of the LKPD. LKPD generated in this training is considered to have fulfilled all indicators of Science Process Skills (KPS). Through this activity, it can be concluded that the KPS-based LKPD assisted by the Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite application can be a practicum tool that facilitates the implementation of Physics practicum in schools that do not have or lack practicum tools. It is recommended that the use of laboratories and virtual laboratories can be conducted continuously to support Physics learning.
