This research aims to find out the creativity among the geomatical engineering students. 96 geomatical engineering students participated in the research. They were divided into 24 groups of 4 students. Each group were asked to solve a real world problem collaboratively with their creative thinking. Their works were collected and then analysed as to compare their creativity based on their fluency, flexibility and originality. The results showed that the students were able to use their creativity and came out with many different methods to solve the problem. The results also showed that the components of creativity namely fluency, flexibility and originality can be used to assess the creativity among the groups of students.
This paper aims to understand the use of open-ended mathematical problem to stimulate students' ability in problem solving. There were five mechanical engineering participating in this study. Their works were video-taped as to reveal their process of problem solving. Intervention of creative problem solving was used as to help the students to come out with solutions. They were also interviewed individually after they had solved the problem. All the process of problem solving and their conversations were video-taped and audio-taped, transcribed and then analyzed into sub-themes, namely: problem definition, ideas generation, ideas evaluation, ideas judgment, and solution implementation. Questionnaire was also distributed to three classes of 74 mechanical engineering students as to find out their preference in all the stages of creative problem solving. The result showed that the students were able to solve the open-ended mathematical problem collaboratively based on all the stages of creative problem solving..
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
