Abstract

The ability of elementary school teachers to understand pedagogical competencies is absolutely necessary to carry out their duties as professional educators. The purpose of this study was to determine the pedagogical competence of elementary school teachers in understanding creative thinking assessment based on the characteristics of the city. This study involved 14 teachers who served in public elementary schools in the downtown, semi-urban, and suburban areas. The test and non-test instruments used to determine the pedagogical abilities of elementary school teachers are questions of creative thinking in the form of multiple choice and interviews. Data are analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The results of the study indicate that the ability of elementary school teachers is very different from the characteristics of the region, namely; Teachers who work in public elementary schools in the downtown area have an average capability of 63,2%, which is in the category of “Good”, semi-urban areas at 71,6%, and suburban area at 70,0%. The main factors that can influence these differences are teaching practice and academic qualifications, while regional factors have less influence on the ability of teachers to understand the concept of science creative thinking assessment. This can be seen from the results above, teachers who work in public elementary schools in semi-urban and suburban areas that have good knowledge compared to those in the downtown area.
