Abstract


Pembelajaran matematika tidak hanya sekedar pembelajaran untuk mengembangkan kemampuan berhitung tetapi pembelajaran yang mengembangkan kemampuan berfikir matematika secara logis, sesuai dengan konsep matematika yang sistematis dengan melibatkan lingkungan siswa. Keterampilan berpikir kreatif dan kemampuan komunikasi merupakan dua aspek kemampuan yang harus dimiliki oleh peserta didik disamping keterampilan afektif.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pembelajaran berbasis masalah (problem-based learning) terhadap keterampilan berpikir kreatif dan kemampuan komunikasi matematis siswa. Penelitian ini menggunakan kuasi eksperimen dengan desain pre-test dan post-test. Subjek penelitian terdiri dari 50 siswa SMA. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan mengadakan pre-test dan post-test serta pemberian angket. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan rubrik berpikir kreatif dan komunikasi matematis, kemudian diolah lebih lanjut dengan uji statistik. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa pembelajaran berbasis masalah dapat meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kreatif dan komunikasi matematis siswa lebih baik daripada pendekatan pembelajaran konvensional. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini menunjukkanbahwa strategi pembelajaran memiliki peran penting dalam pengembangan kreativitas dan komunikasi matematis siswa.
