Kemampuan Berpikir Kreatif Matematis Siswa SMP Ditinjau dari Adversity Quotient

Abstract

Kemampuan berpikir kreatif penting dimiliki agar dapat dimanfaatkan ketika melakukan penyelesaian masalah matematis. Penelitian kualitatif deskriptif dilakukan guna mengetahui kemampuan berpikir kreatif siswa SMP ditinjau dari Adversity Quotient. Penelitian dilakukan pada 6 siswa kelas VIII di salah satu SMP di Belitang.  Keenam siswa dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui pemberian tes, angket, dan melakukan wawancara mendalam. Analisis data dilakukan dengan reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa siswa tipe AQ climbers mampu memenuhi indikator fluency, flexibility, dan novelty, siswa tipe campers memenuhi indikator fluency dan flexibility, dan siswa tipe AQ quitters hanya memenuhi satu indikator yaitu fluency. Kemampuan berpikir kreatif matematis siswa berbeda-beda bergantung pada tipe Adversity Quotient yang dimiliki.

The ability to think creatively is important so that it can be utilized when solving mathematical problems. Descriptive qualitative research was conducted to determine the creative thinking skills of junior high school students in terms of Adversity Quotient. The study was conducted on 6 grade VIII students at a junior high school in Belitang. The six students were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected by administering tests, questionnaires, and conducting in-depth interviews. Data analysis was done through data reduction, presentation, and conclusion. The research findings show that AQ climbers-type students can meet the indicators of fluency, flexibility, and novelty, campers-type students fulfill the indicators of fluency and flexibility, and AQ quitters-type students only fulfill one indicator, namely fluency. Students' mathematical creative thinking ability varies depending on the type of Adversity Quotient they have.
