Abstract

Creative thinking is the ability to generate new ideas. The affective aspect related to creativity is self-confidence. This study aims to describe the characteristics of students' mathematical creative thinking skills based on self-confidence. Involved as many as 60 students who took the Differential Calculus course. The method used is descriptive qualitative. Data collection was obtained through questionnaires, tests, and interviews. Data analysis techniques include data reduction, data presentation, and concluding. Subjects were grouped into three self-confidence categories: low, moderate, and high, based on the questionnaire results. Using the purposive sampling technique, two people were taken as subjects in each category. The study results explain that students with low, moderate, and high self-confidence can write down several different answers and review them in detail. Students in the high self-confidence category can find relationships between concepts and answer questions in various or unique solving algorithms. Self- confidence is directly proportional to the achievement of creative thinking skills.
