“…The domain of Physics, which is based on experiments, research, hypotheses, and thinking using a new perspective, can function as an excellent foundation and can lead to situations that allow developing creativity (Klieger & Sherman, 2015). Creative thinking skills are one of the skills needed in the 21st century (Nurcahyanto & Supahar, 2015).…”

This study aims at determining the effect of the inquiry training learning model assisted by Google Classroom in improving students' creative thinking skills. By using a quasi-experimental design, 32 students of SMAN 1 Banguntapan were involved in this study. The instrument test was an essay test to measure creative thinking skills. The first step of the study was given the pretest, then face-toface learning and online learning at the time agreed upon with students. The final stage was carried out posttest to see the achievement of the score after treatment. The results showed that the gain scores of creative thinking skills in students are categorized into three, namely: 62% of students with low category gain scores, 31% of students with moderate category gain scores, and 7% of students with high category gain scores. The average score of gain of creative thinking ability was 0.3, which was in the medium category. Based on these results, further research is needed with an emphasis on optimizing the use of Google Classroom and confirming knowledge construction in face-to-face learning.

Abstrak: Pada umumnya tes dikembangkan berdasarkan teori tes klasik yang banyak kelemahannya, maka tes yang dikembangkan ini dilakukan berdasarkan teori tes modern (Item Rseponse Theory). Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengembangkan tes Creative Thinking Skills fisika Kelas X SMA (PhysCreTHOTS) yang layak digunakan berdasarkan teori tes modern. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian pengembangan menggunakan model 4D yang melibatkan 300 peserta didik Kelas X SMA di Kabupaten Gunung Kidul DIY. Penskoran item tes menggunakan skala politomus empat kategori dan menggunakan teknik Partial Credit Model (PCM). Karakteristik tes terdiri atas kecocokan item, reliabilitas, tingkat kesukaran item dan fungsi informasi dan Standard Error of Measurement (SEM). Hasil penelitian menyatakan bahwa realiabilitas instrumen sebesar 0,72. Keseluruhan instrumen tes dinyatakan fit dengan PCM, dengan rentang INFIT MNSQ 0,93 sampai 1,10. Indeks kesukaran 63 item (difficulty) antara -1,06 sampai 1,04. Berdasarkan fungsi informasi dan SEM diketahui bahwa instrumen tes sesuai dengan peserta didik berkemampuan dari -1,8 sampai 3,0. Keseluruhan tes dinyatakan layak digunakan untuk mengukur Creative Thinking Skills Fisika peserta didik kelas X SMA.

This study aimed to develop a Creative Thinking Skills test on physics lessons for Class X High School (PhysCreTHOTS) that eligible to be used based on modern test theory. This research was a development research using 4D model which involving 300 students of Class X High School in Gunung Kidul District of DIY. The scoring of test items using four categories of politomus scales and Partial Credit Model (PCM) techniques. The characteristics of the test consist of item match, reliability, difficulty level of item, information function and Standard Error of Measurement (SEM). The results showed that the instrument's reliability was 0.72. The entire test instrument is considered fit with PCM, with an INFIT MNSQ range of 0.93 to 1.10. The difficulty index of 63 items ranges from -1.06 to 1.04. Based on the information function and SEM it is known that the test instrument corresponds to the learner with a score of -1.8 to 3.0. The entire test is considered feasible to be used to measure Creative Thinking Skills in Physics lessons for high school X grade students.

This research aimed to analyze the improvement of students' creative thinking skills on the matter of heat and its transfer using the POGIL model. The topic concerning heat and its transfer has some characteristics that enable students to carry out practicum and trigger them to develop their higher-order thinking skills. The method used in this research was pre-experimental with one group pretest-posttest design. A total of 32 seventh grade students at SMPN 1 Jaten Karang Anyar, Central Java, were randomly selected as the participants in this research. To measure the increase in students' creative thinking skills, a multiple-choice test had been developed based on the indicators of creative thinking skills. Based on the results of data analysis, the values of N-gain on the indicators consisting of fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration were 0.56, 0.60, 0.46, and 0.53 respectively. Those numbers meant that creative thinking was in the medium category. Further analysis shows that, by using the POGIL model on the topic of heat and its transfer learning, students' creative thinking skills can be increased, especially on the indicators of fluency and flexibility.
