THE ROLE OF HEUTAGOGY APPROACH IN RELATION TO CHILDREN'S CREATIVITY IN MATHEMATICAL PROBLEM SOLVING IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Abstract
This research explores the implementation of the heutagogy approach in mathematics learning to enhance creativity and independence among elementary students. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the study was conducted with grade VI students at SDN 010 Tanjungpinang Timur to evaluate its effectiveness in solving high-level math problems (HOTS). Results indicate that only one out of 30 students answered correctly, with misconceptions persisting even among students with high creative thinking skills, particularly regarding the semicircle circumference formula. Many students struggled to verify their answers despite the application of student-centered learning. The findings suggest that heutagogy requires thorough planning, suitable learning media, and sufficient teacher guidance to achieve its objectives. Effective strategies include providing exercises with progressive difficulty, leveraging interactive media, and emphasizing conceptual understanding. Further investigations are needed to address the root causes of misconceptions. This study underscores the importance of teacher facilitation in helping students move beyond rote memorization to deep comprehension. When implemented effectively, heutagogy can significantly enhance students’ creative thinking and problem-solving abilities in mathematics
Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi implementasi pendekatan heutagogi dalam pembelajaran matematika untuk meningkatkan kreativitas di kalangan siswa sekolah dasar. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif, penelitian ini dilakukan pada 30 siswa kelas VI di SDN 010 Tanjungpinang Timur untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas pendekatan heutagogi dalam memecahkan masalah matematika tingkat tinggi (HOTS). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hanya satu dari 30 siswa yang menjawab dengan benar, dengan miskonsepsi yang masih ada bahkan di antara siswa dengan kemampuan berpikir kreatif yang tinggi, terutama mengenai rumus keliling setengah lingkaran. Banyak siswa yang kesulitan untuk memverifikasi jawaban mereka meskipun telah menerapkan pembelajaran yang berpusat pada siswa. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa heutagogi membutuhkan perencanaan yang matang, media pembelajaran yang sesuai, dan bimbingan guru yang cukup untuk mencapai tujuannya. Strategi yang efektif termasuk memberikan latihan dengan tingkat kesulitan yang semakin meningkat, memanfaatkan media interaktif, dan menekankan pemahaman konseptual. Investigasi lebih lanjut diperlukan untuk mengatasi akar penyebab miskonsepsi. Penelitian ini menggarisbawahi pentingnya fasilitasi guru dalam membantu siswa bergerak melampaui hafalan menuju pemahaman yang mendalam. Jika diterapkan secara efektif, heutagogi dapat secara signifikan meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kreatif dan pemecahan masalah siswa dalam matematika.
