ABSTRACT
To improve students’ creative thinking skills, it had been proposed a Physics Learning Strategy base of Asking activities and group Competition (PLSAC). This learning strategy consists of learning activities together (cooperative learning), reading, asking questions, looking for possible answers, competition in the group, and ends with reflections. The aim of this research is to examine PLSAC implementation and its impact on students’ creative thinking skills. The research was carried out using a quasi experimental method. Senior high school students in Tasikmalaya were chosen as the subject of this research and two classes were taken as sample on the topic of sound. This research revealed that the students that used PLSAC had significantly better creative thinking skills than those students that used the conventional method. The average N-gain of creative thinking skills for the experimental class was 0.36, considered moderate improvement, compared with the control class, which scored 0.22 (low improvement). The result was supported by the positive responses of teachers and students on the implemented learning strategies. It can be concluded that PLSAC is better than conventional learning strategies in improving the students’ creative thinking skills.
