Abstract

One of mathematics teaching goals is to improve students’ mathematical creative thinking ability as they are able to solve problems in variety ways. The purpose of this study was to analyze the increasing of students’ mathematical creative thinking ability by using Treffinger at student lower secondary school. Treffinger Model is a collaborative learning using divergent and convergent thinking processes. The research method used in this study was a quasi-experimental research design using pre-test and post-test design. As a sample, there were two groups of students grade VII SMPN 2 Unggul Mesjid Raya Aceh Besar that was chosen randomly. The study results showed that students’ mathematical creative thinking ability taught by using Treffinger model is better than students’ mathematical creative thinking ability taught by conventional model. There was an increasing of each students’ mathematical creative thinking ability indicator in experimental group, namely, flexible increased significantly from 0.00% to 70.69%, fluency raised from 50.00% to 89.66%, and elaboration grew from 20.69% to 77.59%.
