The Study of Grade 10 Students’ Scientific Creativity Using The Scientific Structure Creativity Model
Keywords:
Creativity, Scientific Creativity, The Scientific Structure Creativity ModelAbstract
The research aimed to investigate scientific creativity of 27-grade 10 students studying biology subject in enriched science program under the Scientific Structure Creativity Model (SSCM). The data were collected by a scientific creativity test with seven items open-ended questions that was the measurement of scientific creativity with three dimensions which were 1) Product that measured the knowledge principle and scientific skills, 2) Trait that measured the creative thinking based on Torrance’s framework consisting of three parts (Fluency, Flexibility, and Originality), and 3) Process was the measurement of Thinking process and Imagination. Their answers were scored using predetermined criteria and summarized by descriptive statistics.
The results showed that the framework and the instrument were able to clearly separate the scientific creativity construct in all three components. The students respectively had the highest level of fluency with the mean scores of 4.40, followed by flexibility (3.00), and originality (2.23), respectively. We found that students had the highest level of the scientific creativity in the dimension of SSCM cell comprising Trail that was related to the technical product, imagination and thinking.
