PENGARUH KEMAMPUAN BERPIKIR KREATIF UNTUK MENINGKATKAN HASIL BELAJAR MATEMATIKA DI SEKOLAH DASAR

Abstract

This study employs a qualitative method with a literature review approach. The data used in this research were obtained from various previous studies and analyses relevant to the topic through literature reviews. Information in the literature review was sourced from books, articles, scientific works, or other written materials. To support data collection, the researcher utilized the internet to access journals and scientific works, particularly through searches on Google Scholar. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between creative thinking skills and students' learning achievement in mathematics at the elementary school level. The data used were derived from various published studies in several journals, which were then processed and concluded. The findings of this research indicate that creative thinking skills play a highly significant role in enhancing students' learning achievements in mathematics. This is evidenced by the positive influence of students' creativity on achieving better mathematics learning outcomes. This improvement can be attained through the implementation of various models, methods, or learning strategies that provide students with opportunities to enhance their skills and potential through their own ideas, without being limited to the approaches taught by teachers. Therefore, teaching that prioritizes teachers' creativity and actively involves students in the process of concept formation and problem-solving is essential. Such an approach creates a more productive learning environment that fosters creativity and independent learning among students, ultimately improving their mathematics learning outcomes.
