PENGARUH PENDEKATAN OPEN-ENDED BERSTRATEGI M-RTE TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN BERPIKIR KREATIF MATEMATIS SISWA PADA MATERI PERSEGIPANJANG

Abstract

In problem solving, the students have to need creative thinking ability that will show the creative solutions without any hesitation. An open-ended approach with M-RTE strategy is one options to improving students' creative thinking ability. The research uses quasi experiment method with nonequivalent control group design. Research population is all students of grade V SD in North Sumedang Subdistrict. Meanwhile, the samples are SDN Bendungan 2 as the experimental class and SDN Sukamulya as the control class. After learning during four times, both at SDN Bendungan 2 or SDN Sukamulya have increased on mathematical creative thinking ability. Hence the open-ended approach with M-RTE strategy and conventional approach have a positive effect on mathematical creative thinking ability. However, based on the average of N-gain obtained there is no a significant difference between the positive effects of the open-ended approach with M-RTE strategy and the conventional approach.
