ABSTRACT
Nurul Wahidah Nasution IDN 8156141012, Effect Of Thinking Skills
Enhancement Learning Strategy Based On Collaborative Using eXe Learning
And Creative Thinking Skills Towards Students Achievement In Acid And Base
Topic
This research has several purpose they are (1) The difference of students
achievement that is taught by Thinking Skills Enhancement Learning Strategy based
on collaborative using eXe Learning with Direct Instruction, (2) The difference of
students achievement between High Creative thinking kills with low creative
thinking skill, (3) The interaction of both model with creative thinking skill with
Learning Strategy, and (4) The relation between students creative thinking skills with
students achievement. The samples of this research were students grade XI SMA
Negeri 16 Medan for two classes, each class had 36 students. In experimental class
that implemented the Thinking Skill Enhancement Learning Strategy based on
collaborative using eXe learning while in control classs by direct instructional. This
research instrument was achievement test 20 questions in form of multiple choice
that had been valid and reliable. Based on the result of data requirement test, the
students’ achievement in experiment and control class were normal distributed and
homogeny. From the research result was got (1) The average score of normalized

gain in experiment class is higher than control class those are 0.732 and 0.542. It
meant there was the difference of students achievement that was taught by Thinking
Skills Enhancement Learning Strategy based on collaborative using eXe Learning
with Direct Instruction. (2) The students who had High creative thinking skills got
N-Gain score has 0.73 is higher than students who had low creative thinking skills
that was 0.54. So, there is the difference of students achievement between High
Creative thinking kills with low creative thinking skill that is taught by Thinking
Skills Enhancement Learning Strategy based on collaborative using eXe Learning
and Direct Instruction towards students achievement. (3) There was the interaction of
both model with creative thinking skills towards students achievement with sig 0.00.
(4) There was the relation between students creative thinking skills with students
achievement in experiment and control class with the contribution towards the
students’ achievement as 54.8 %
Key Words : Thinking Skills Enhancement Learning Strategy, Collaborative
Learning, eXe Learning, Cretaive Thinking Skills, Student
Achievement

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1. Research Background
There are two main components that have big role in learning and teaching
process they are student and teacher. In this process, there is the goal to achieve. To
get the best achievement in teaching and learning process needs a coordination
between students and teacher by applying some rule of education or study theority.
This coordination is used to be interractive and educative between students and
teacher, so that students can build the knowledge actively and the learning process is
hold interractively, inspiratively, delightly, also can motivate the students to achieve
the competence. Because the competence and ability of a teacher is very needed to
create the learning strategies to stimulate students thinking skill. In the reality, many
of teacher holds the learning process and force students to memorize information
without understanding the information and connect to real life. As the result, when
the students gradutae from school, they are smart in theoritical but low in application
(Tohri, 2011)
Special in chemistry, chemistry is one of required for Natural Science Class in
Senior High School. Because of many materials are in concept which the fact
connects each other. Therefore, some of students assume that chemistry is a
confusing material and difficult to be understood (Hidayatullah, Copriady, & Herdini
2015). Beside that, Many students still do not know about the fact of chemistry in
daily life especially in acid and base pH. Where, the function in learning chemistry in
Senior High School is to give the basic chemistry concept to develop the knowledge
in University and also as the lifeskill in society, and enhace the creativity in daily life.
In learning and teaching process, the methode variation is used by teacher still
unvariative tend to conventional one. So that, the students still do not have more time
to explore their creative thinking in learning process. Because, needed thinking and
creative idea in making (formulating) and solving the problem in daily life, also
interpreting a solution of a problem. The creative thinking will arise and develop if

2

the learning process in class use the true strategy of learning.(Saefuddin, 2012). By
creative thinking skills can be guided by a model that includes reflective judgement,
attitudes, idea generation and self regulations.so that, the creative thinking skills are
essential in learning process (Baum, 2010). This is caused Basically, every person
was born with the creative skills. The surrounding of the person will be the factor that
can influenced the creativity of a person. If the creative skills does not build, it will
not develop and will be hidden skill at the end. In education, the creativity skill is
developed through the learning process that activates mentality and physically of
students, such as through assessment, that consist of complex thinking skills
(Panjaitan, 2011).
The core of creativity is creative thinking. That is why, now we have to focus
on how to imrpove creative thinking ability. In creative thinking, the process of
thinking will change essentially, it will utilize the estensive analysis, conjugation,
entailment and relevance. Leads to mindet breakthough, thinking of divergent
(Chena. et al, 2015). Creative thinking is as combination of logical and divergent
thinking based on intuition. Therefore, creative thinking involves logic and intuiton.
This thing is useful for producing new things. The new things are the indication of
creative thinking (Saefuddin, 2015).

Creative thinking skill, is one of importat

higher-order thinking skill to be developed. When stundets enter the higher education
in intuitions, they will need to accelerate development and build on the basic to
develop their creativity (Songkram,2015).
Thinking Skills Enhancement Learning Strategy (SPPKB)

is a learning

strategy that focus on thinking skills of students. In Thinking Skills Enhancement
Learning Strategy (SPPKB) , the teacher will guide the students to find the concept of
problems through the dialogic process continously so the students will find the
answer of the problems by thinking logically. So that, students will not only know the
material but they can develop their idea and creativity through language ability
verbally. By this strategy can teach the students to think deeply, and develop their
creative thinking skills. From the previous research can be seen that 80% students got

3

increasing in thinking skills to solve the problem, and got 80,2% as the other results.
(Nurohman, 2014)
Computer technology develops very fast and many of application in this world
especially in educational world as learning media. By computer media, teacher will
be easier to explain the material that is abstrack and difficult to be imagined by
students (Copriady, 2014). The useful of technology in education is to attract student
interested in learning the difficult concept. The ability of teacher in mastering the
teachnology can affect to the students. E-learning is a common media to deliver the
subject material in education, beside that many intuitions make the training for this.
The students can construct the knowledge of students through media (Mafenya,
2013). This model of e-learning is very important to enhance the creative thinking of
students by including the implementation of teaching strategies, and teaching
methods(songkram, 2015). The media that can be used is eXe learning, from the other
reaserach that we could know the eXe learning

can be enhanced the students
