Abstract

Students are not only required to have good cognitive abilities, but must also have creativity in facing global competition. In this study, student creativity has been developed by applying creative problem solving (CPS) learning to metal purification concept. The design of the method used is a one shoot case study with research subjects as many as 38 students of the second semester Chemistry Education study program. Data on students' creative thinking ability is measured through a creative thinking ability evaluation test consisting of indicators of fluency, flexibility, and originality. The value on the fluency indicator is 88 which is in the very good category. The value on the flexibility indicator is 72 which is in the good category. While the value in the originality indicator is 66 which is in the adequate category. Overall the level of creative thinking ability of students is at level three by achieving fluency and flexibiity indicators and categorized as creative. CPS learning uses an approach centered on problem solving skills, which is followed by strengthening creativity so as to create a creative learning process. Thus, CPS learning on metal refining materials can develop students' creative thinking skills.
