Profile of Students’ Creative Thinking Skills on Global Warming Material: Gender Perspective in Physics Learning

Abstract

Abstract Students need creative thinking skills, critical thinking, collaborative, and communicative in the 21st century in learning physics. In predicting further research, it is necessary to analyze the initial ability of students’ creative thinking skills. This study aims to analyze the profile of physics learning on the students’ creative thinking skill of high school students’ on global warming material and analyze the differences in students’ creative thinking abilities based on gender. Research method uses 100 samples of class eleventh grade in senior high school students’. Profiles of creative thinking skills of senior high school students’ on global warming were analyzed quantitatively descriptively. The results showed that the physics learning profile of students’ creative thinking skills on global warming material was relatively low, and there was a significant difference between the results of male and female students’ creative thinking skills. The results of this study can be used as empirical evidence that the creative thinking skills of high school students’ physics learning on global warming material still need to be improved. Further research is needed to overcome the low creative thinking skills of high school students’.
