Abstrak
Kesulitan siswa dalam memahami kalkulus integral disebabkan oleh sifatnya yang abstrak dan kompleksitas proses simboliknya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menelaah dampak penerapan model pembelajaran Search, Solve, Create, and Share (SSCS) yang didukung oleh perangkat lunak MATLAB terhadap peningkatan kemampuan berpikir kreatif dan pemecahan masalah matematis siswa. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah kuasi-eksperimen dengan kelompok kontrol, di mana data dikumpulkan hanya melalui post-test. Partisipan penelitian berjumlah 216 siswa kelas XII IPA dari tiga Madrasah Aliyah Negeri di Kota Banjarmasin. Kelompok eksperimen mendapatkan pembelajaran menggunakan model SSCS dengan bantuan MATLAB, sedangkan kelompok kontrol menggunakan metode konvensional. Hasil uji statistik Mann–Whitney menunjukkan adanya perbedaan signifikan antara kedua kelompok (p < 0,05), dan analisis ukuran efek dengan Cohen’s d menunjukkan pengaruh dalam kategori sedang hingga tinggi. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa integrasi model SSCS dan MATLAB efektif dalam mengembangkan kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi dalam pembelajaran matematika.
Abstract
Students often struggle with integral calculus due to its abstract concepts and the complexity of symbolic operations. This study investigates the impact of applying the Search, Solve, Create, and Share (SSCS) learning model assisted by MATLAB software on students’ mathematical creative thinking and problem-solving abilities. A quasi-experimental design with a post-test-only control group was implemented, involving 216 twelfth-grade science students from three public Islamic senior high schools in Banjarmasin. The experimental group received instruction using the SSCS model with MATLAB integration, while the control group was taught using conventional methods. The results of the Mann–Whitney U test indicated statistically significant differences between the two groups (p < 0.05). Furthermore, effect size analysis using Cohen’s d revealed a moderate to high practical impact. These findings suggest that the combination of SSCS and MATLAB is effective in promoting students’ higher-order thinking skills in mathematics learning.
