Strategi dalam Berpikir Kreatif Matematis pada Masalah Bangun Datar
Abstract
Kemampuan berpikir kreatif matematis merupakan kompetensi penting abad ke-21 yang meliputi aspek kelancaran, fleksibilitas, dan orisinalitas dalam menyelesaikan masalah. Namun, berbagai studi menunjukkan bahwa siswa masih mengalami hambatan dalam mengembangkan ketiga aspek tersebut. Mengkaji strategi yang digunakan siswa dalam berpikir kreatif pada konteks bangun datar penting dilakukan agar dapat teridentifikasi bagaimana siswa mengembangkan ide, berpindah antar strategi, dan menghasilkan solusi baru, sehingga dapat dirancang intervensi pembelajaran yang lebih efektif untuk mendukung kemampuan berpikir kreatif matematis siswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi strategi berpikir kreatif matematis siswa dalam menyelesaikan masalah bangun datar. Pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus digunakan untuk memahami proses berpikir siswa secara kontekstual dan mendalam. Partisipan terdiri dari 27 siswa kelas VIII SMP di Pekanbaru yang telah menerima pembelajaran tentang luas bangun datar. Data dikumpulkan melalui tes berpikir kreatif matematis dan wawancara berbasis tugas, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan model analisis interaktif Miles dan Huberman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa strategi siswa pada aspek kelancaran mencakup penggunaan representasi beragam, eksplorasi pendekatan, dan identifikasi pola. Strategi siswa pada aspek fleksibilitas ditunjukkan melalui perubahan pendekatan konseptual dan penggabungan metode. Strategi siswa pada aspek orisinalitas tampak dalam penggunaan pendekatan tak biasa, modifikasi masalah, serta representasi visual yang unik.
