Design Instructional Collaborative Problem Solving Based on Computational Thinking Skills for Students' Scientific Creativity Skills: A Framework for Effective Teaching

A Framework for Effective Teaching

Abstract

Creative thinking skills are one of the skills that must be applied to higher education. However, this is different from what is currently dreamed of; several studies report that creative thinking skills at the student level still need to be improved. Today, there is a gap between the need for scientific creativity and its application, especially in school education, which is more oriented toward developing intelligence than creativity. Educators must understand scientific creativity and how to set it up in an educational environment. Efforts to build students' scientific creativity require improving the learning environment in a certain way. Therefore, this study aims to create a teaching framework that effectively trains scientific creativity skills for both students and teachers. This study uses literature studies as a form of data collection and analysis. The results of the literature analysis are presented in the form of a learning model design framework called a collaborative problem-solving model based on computational thinking skills. The analysis results have successfully packaged a collaborative problem-solving learning model design based on computational thinking skills based on learning theory and principles, especially scientific creativity. The syntax of the computational thinking skill-based collaborative problem-solving learning model consists of (1) organizing students, (2) investigating problems in study groups, (3) computational-based creative teamwork, and (4) verification.
