Abstract

This research aims to study the use of problem-solving worksheet to improve Madrasah Aliyah students’ creative thinking skill in learning Physics. The worksheet of Work and Energy is designed for the students’ use with the problem-solving approach. This research is developed from the model of ADDIE – Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The developed worksheet is validated by an expert of Physics, an expert of teaching materials, and a Physics teacher. It is then tested in two experiments (limited and extensive). The subjects of the limited experiment are 6 students; while the large trial involves 75 students. The students’ creative thinking skill is analyzed with essay tests adopting TTCT (Torrance Test of Creative Thinking) with the indicators of fluency, flexibility, and elaboration. The research findings show that the problem-solving worksheet is considered good.It is based on the average rating given by validators of 4.15 on 0–4.2 scale. This worksheet is beneficial to be used by students for improving their creative thinking ability. Preparation of the worksheet also improves the students' creative thinking skills. This is reasonably based on the results of the average n-gain which increased by 0.6 point, falling into the medium category.
