PENGARUH KEMAMPUAN BERFIKIR KREATIF MATEMATIS SISWA TERHADAP HASIL BELAJAR SISWA SMA NEGERI 1 BANDA ACEH

Abstract

Education is a process of developing reasoning power, skills and morality of life in the potential
of every human being. Education is an absolute necessity that must be met for the life of every human
being. Creative thinking is a thought process that produces a wide variety of possible ideas and ways. The
ability of students to think creatively allows these students to get many ways or alternative solutions to a
problem. Although sometimes too many ways will make it difficult to arrive at the final result, having so
many choices will allow students to reach their goals compared to students who really have no way to
arrive at a solution to the problem. The purpose of this study was to determine the positive influence of
mathematical creative thinking skills on student learning outcomes of SMA Negeri 1 Banda Aceh. This
study used a quantitative approach with associative methods, the data sources in this study were students
of class XI SMA Negeri 1 Banda Aceh. With a population of class IX students of SMA Negeri 1 Banda
Aceh and the sample taken in this study were 2 classes out of 7 classes of SMA Negeri 1 Banda Aceh. The
data collection techniques used were questionnaires, test questions, interviews and documentation. The
data analysis technique used is quantitative data analysis with data reduction steps, data presentation,
and drawing conclusions, data obtained by questionnaires, test questions and interviews to find a positive
influence on the ability to think creatively mathematically on student learning outcomes which are then
analyzed using using correlation test and simple linear regression test using report cards with a
correlation test value = 0.50 and simple linear regression test results = 54.33 + 0.33X, and the results of
the research show (1) that there is a positive influence between the ability to think creatively in
