Description
Summary:The objective of this study is to describe student's creative thinking level. Creative thinking is a mental activity to find a new idea or a variety of solutions. The criteria for creative thinking are fluency, flexibility, and novelty. The subjects were eleventh grade students who had visual- spatial intelligence. The level of creative thinking analyzed based on components of creative thinking that the subject met on geometry HOTS problems. Students are given a questionnaire to find out their type of intelligence. Then, students are given open-ended questions. Based on the analysis of students answer, visual-spatial students show a higher level of creative thinking. This indicates that visual-spatial students have better creative thinking skills in learning mathematics, especially on geometry.
