- Abstract
This current study aimed at analyzing creative thinking skill in solving mathematical problems of students in regular, acceleration, and Olympiad classes. Qualitative research design was employed, by means of descriptive-explorative approach. The subjects of this study were students in regular, acceleration, and Olympiad classes in SMPN 1 Turen (Junior High School), Malang Regency, East Java, Indonesia. The instruments were test and interview to tap the students’ creative thinking skill in solving mathematical problems. Data validity was done by means of triangulation. The data were analyzed by employing content and component analyses. This study has found that regarding creative thinking skill of the students of regular, acceleration, and Olympiad classes, the students have shown differences in three aspects of creative thinking skill, namely: fluency, flexibility, and originality. The students of regular class have been categorized into creative level, as they met the aspects of fluency and flexibility. The students of acceleration class have fallen into creative plus level, as they fulfilled the aspects of fluency and flexibility plus. The students of Olympiad class have shown to be highly creative, as they have met the aspects of fluency, flexibility, and originality.
