Abstract

The study of mental models and creative thinking skills in students’ physics learning with the problem-based learning model has been scarce. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between mental models and creative thinking skills in high school students. Many previous research findings explain a relationship between mental models and creative thinking skills among students at the university level and workers. This mixed-methods study was conducted on high school students in Malang, East Java, Indonesia, aged between 14 and 15 years. The instrument used is in the form of mental models and creative thinking skills test questions. This finding explains no relationship between mental models and creative thinking skills because learning has not fully empowered mental models and creative thinking skills. On the other hand, learning at the previous level, students’ knowledge is still fragmented, so that is incomplete. Therefore, at the high school level, they need help to improve their mental models and creative thinking skills. This finding implies that teachers in developing learning materials, tools, and instruments must pay attention to the level of student knowledge so that learning can be more optimal.

学生物理学习中的心理模型与创造性思维能力

以问题为基础的学习模式对学生物理学习中的心理模型和创造性思维技能的研究一直很少。本研究旨在分析高中生的心理模式与创造性思维能力之间的关系。许多先前的研究结果解释了大学学生和工人的心理模型和创造性思维技能之间的关系。这项混合方法研究是在印度尼西亚东爪哇岛马朗的高中生中进行的，年龄在14至15岁之间。使用的工具是心理模型和创造性思维技能测试题。这一发现没有解释心理模型和创造性思维技能之间的关系，因为学习并没有完全赋予心理模型和创造力思维技能权力。另一方面，在以前的水平上学习，学生的知识仍然是碎片化的，因此是不完整的。因此，在高中阶段，他们需要帮助来提高他们的心理模型和创造性思维技能。这一发现意味着，教师在开发学习材料、工具和工具时必须关注学生的知识水平，这样学习才能更加优化。
