The Profile of Students Creative Thinking Skill in Designing Optical Instruments Prototype

Abstract

The paper explained the profile of students' creative thinking skills in designing an optical instrument prototype. The research method used a mixed-method with the explanatory sequential design model. The research design was experimental. The subject of this study consist of 22 students on the 11 th grade in one of Senior high school. Students were assigned to design a prototype which is the problem solution of optical tools practice. The instrument of assessment design used in this research was an assessment of the design process that consists of 5 assessment aspects that implicated STEM field (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). The result of this study showed by using STEM approach method, students can think creatively in the process of design with a percentage rate of around 66.25%.
