ABSTRACT

The development of creative thinking ability was one of the focuses in learning mathematics. Creative thinking is one of the skills needed in a society, so it is necessary to develop these skills as early as possible. This research aims to describe the effectiveness of learning circle assisted by Geogebra software reviewed from creative thinking and visual thinking ability of Junior High School students. This research was a quasi-experimental research using pretest-posttest control group design. The population was all grade VIII student of One State Sedayu Junior High School. Sample of this research was selected by purposive sampling technique. Two classes from eight classes were selected. The experimental class was VIII F and the control class was VIII G. The experimental class was taught by using Geogebra software while the control class is by using the conventional one. The instruments used on this research were creative thinking test and visual thinking ability test. The result of this research showed that learning circle assisted by Geogebra software is more effective than conventional method for improving creative thinking and visual thinking ability.
