Creativity is one of the solutions
needed in the 21st century. Creativity also needs to be supported in learning
mathematics, because students can find solutions when solving problems. Besides
that mathematics is also complicated and extensive if necessary by
memorization. One way that can be done is to familiarize students with giving
questions that require students to issue all ideas that are creative.
Open-ended questions are one type of question that can be used to study student
creativity. Open questions are questions that have more than answers. However,
open questions do not accept every answer given by students. In addition, a
person's performance in mathematics is also supported by self-efficacy.
Self-efficacy is someone who believes in the ability of oneself who is able to
optimize someone in behaving and the efforts made in compilation because there
are problems.
This research is a descriptive study
that aims to describe the creativity of junior high school students in solving
open-ended math problems in terms of self-efficacy. This research was conducted
at SMPIT Al Uswah Surabaya. The subjects of this study were class VIII
students, amounting to 63 students. The instruments in this study were
researchers, self-efficacy questionnaires, and open-ended math questions. The
data analysis technique in this study is the analysis of student creativity
test results, data grouping, and data calculation.
The results showed that in the category
of high self-efficacy there were seven students with very creative levels of
creativity who were able to fulfill indicators of fluency, flexibility, and novelty.
At the level of creative creativity, 7 students were able to show indicators of
fluency and novelty, while one student was able to show indicators of fluency
and flexibility. At a creative level of creativity three students were able to
show indicators of novelty. At the level of creativity is less creative,
thirty-one shows indicators of fluency. At the level of non-creative
creativity, seven students were unable to show indicators of creativity. While
the results of research on the category of low self-efficacy there is one
student with a very creative level of creativity who is able to show indicators
of creativity, namely fluency, flexibility, and novelty. At the level of
creativity is quite creative, one student is able to show indicators of novelty.
At the level of creativity that is less creative, two students are able to show
fluency indicators. At the level of non-creative creativity, three students
were unable to show indicators of creativity.
