Abstract

Education is something that is really needed in this world, through education a person can have a good personality and can be useful for many people. The aim of Indonesian national education is to produce a generation of people who are faithful, devout, virtuous, intelligent and creative. This research aims to describe the cognitive learning outcomes of students who apply the creative problem solving model with a contextual approach to static electricity material and improve students' cognitive learning outcomes by applying the creative problem solving model. The type of research used is Quasi Experiment (Post-test only control design). This research will be carried out at SMPN 3 Kandis using tests on students' cognitive learning outcomes on static electricity material. This research used two classes, namely the experimental class by applying a creative problem solving model with a contextual approach, while the second class was a control class using conventional methods. Based on the results of the final tests that have been carried out in both classes, it can be seen that there has been an increase in learning outcomes that have been experienced by students on static electricity material. The average score for the experimental class was 83.79 and the control class 72.58. Through research conducted at SMPN 3 Kandis, it is known that the creative problem solving (CPS) model with a contextual approach can improve students' cognitive learning outcomes in static electricity material in class IX SMPN 3 Kandis.
