MobLen Model for Enhancing Scientific Creativity of Physics Students: An Alternative in the Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The development of scientific creativity (SC) is critical in physics education because students must have the improved-scientific-creativity to become superior graduates, including prospective physics teachers. Many prospective physics teachers lack scientific creativity. The focus of this research was to analyse the effectiveness of the MobLen model in increasing the scientific creativity of future physics teachers as an alternative to online learning models in the COVID-19 pandemic. This research used a pre-experiment design with one group pre-test and post-test of 62 prospective physics teachers. The data was collected using a scientific creativity test, then analysed using inferential statically with the Paired Sample Test and N-gain. The results showed that the MobLen model proved effective in increasing the scientific creativity of prospective physics teachers. This research implies that the MobLen learning model can increase the scientific creativity of prospective physics teachers as an alternative to online learning in the COVID-19 pandemic.
