Creative Thinking and Process Science Skill: Self-Organized Learning Environment on Watershed Conservation Material

Abstract

Learning geography plays a role in developing creative thinking and science process skills in students. Creative thinking and process science skills can be used in developing new methods and solutions to solve problems in geosphere phenomena using innovative perspectives. This study uses a quasi-experimental type with a Posttest Only Design. In this study, a purposive sample method was applied with two groups: the experimental group from science class 1 using SOLE and the control group from science class 3 using conventional methods. The instrument uses an essay test to measure the level of creative thinking ability and an observation sheet to measure the level of science process skills. The data analysis used was the Independent-Sample T Test and the Mann-Whitney U test with a significance level of 0.05. The SOLE model significantly affects watershed conservation materials' creative thinking and science process skills. The significance value of the Independent-Sample T-Test of creative thinking skills was 0.001 0.05, and the significance value of the Mann-Whitney U Test of science process skills was 0.000 0.05. The internet's investigative process provides information and mindset in scientific concepts in predicting damage/problems and watershed conservation efforts. In addition, the internet investigation process helps students obtain various literacy and information.

Influence of Essay Assessment on Student Competency Achievement in Science Learning: Literature Review

“…The increase in student creativity due to the use of essay assessments is in line with research conducted by Rizal et al (2022) who in their research succeeded in proving that the use of essay assessments in measuring the level of creative thinking abilities and science process skills was effectively used. The ability of essay assessment to increase student creativity has previously been proven by researchers at code A20 who in their research explored the scientific creativity of high school students on static fluid material in STREM PBL with an e-authentic assessment using 3 essay questions for the pre-posttest showing an increase in student creativity.…”

Literature Review: The Use of Augmented Reality Learning Media Oriented Towards Science Process Skills to Enhance Student Understanding and Scientific Attitudes Towards Genetics

“…Various skills within Science Process Skills (KPS) form the foundation of different learning models that involve scientific methods in their syntax. Learning models such as inquiry learning, problem-based learning, and project-based learning, which incorporate scientific methods in the learning process, essentially depict KPS (Tanti et al, 2020;Rizal et al, 2022). However, not all components of KPS can be facilitated by each learning model.…”

“…Science process skills are a set of skills that can be used to gather and process information to acquire scientific knowledge (Diciki et al, 2018). Learning oriented towards SPS can support the achievement of learning outcomes, make learning more meaningful, and develop students' scientific skills and attitudes (Mumba et al, 2022;Rizal et al, 2022;Tanti et al, 2020). In addition to helping students understand the material through scientific methods, SPS-based learning can also address other domains of learning achievement, such as psychomotor and affective.…”

Pengaruh Media Digital Terhadap Keterampilan Proses Sains dan Bernalar Kritis di Sekolah Dasar

“…Keterampilan proses sains mempunyai 4 (empat) indikator yang sesuai dengan karakteristik siswa sekolah dasar, yakni: mengamati, mengklasifikasi, memprediksi, dan menyimpulkan (Rizal et al, 2022). Indikator keterampilan proses sains tersebut berkaitan erat dengan indikator bernalar kritis.…”
