THE EFFECT OF CREATIVE THINGKING ABILITY AND BASIC MATHEMATICS ABILITY TOWARD STUDENTS PROBLEM SOLVING ABILITY

Abstract

ABSTRACT

This research is an ex post facto research with a quantitative approach. The population in this study were all class VIII of SMP Negeri 2 Ladongi with a total of 73 students. Using total sampling technique so that a total sample of 73 students is obtained. Data collection techniques using tests. Data analysis using multiple regression analysis.

The conclusions in this study are as follows: (1) Decryptively, students' mathematics creative thinking abilities are in the quite creative category, students' basic mathematics abilities are in the medium category, students' mathematics problem solving abilities are in the low category; (2) there is a significant influence of students' mathematics creative thinking skills on mathematics problem solving abilities with t_hitung  > t_tabel  8,81 >1,666 and sig < α atau 0,001 < 0,05; (3) There is a significant positive effect on basic mathematics ability on mathematics problem solving ability with t_hitung  t_tabel or 3,10  1,666 and sig < α atau 0,004 < 0,05; (4) There is a significant positive influence on mathematics creative thinking skills and basic mathematics abilities on the mathematics problem solving abilities of class VIII students of SMP Negeri 2 Ladongi with F_Hitung = 65,71_  or F_Tabel  = 3,13 or F_Hitung  F_Tabel  and significance = 0.000 < α = 0.05.
