Living Values and Creative Thinking Skills in The Physics Learning Process: How They Correlate?

Abstract

People must be aware of the benefits and drawbacks of technology in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. To survive the industrial revolution, one must have strong moral principles and be able to think creatively. 4.0. Living values are moral principles that a person possesses. The capacity to think creatively and solve issues effectively goes hand in hand. This follow-up study demonstrates how learning physics contextually based on local potential might enhance critical thinking abilities and ethical principles. The purpose of this study is to ascertain whether there is a connection between creative thinking abilities and living values. The research uses a one-shot case study design in a quasi-experiment method. Students in Wonosobo Regency's class IX high schools who had adopted a contextual physics learning model based on local potential made up the research participants. The research tools include tests of creative thinking abilities and observation sheets to gauge living values. Ten items are described as part of the test. Each instrument has undergone testing to ensure that it satisfies fair and trustworthy criteria. A correlation test is the method used for data analysis. With a significance of 0.295 (bigger than 0.05), the study's findings indicate no connection between having moral principles and having creative thinking abilities.
