Abstract

Developing student’s creative thiking is difficult for teacher, especially when they are still in transtition. This study aims to evaluate students’ creative thinking process based on the model of Wallas. This is a descriptive and qualitative research where data triangulation is employed. Subjects are categorized into upper, middle, and low category after doing creative thinking ability test. The object of the study is the existence of how junior high school’s students solving mathematics problems. Data were analyzed through classification, data representation, and conclusions. The results showed 1) 23,33% of students only reached preparation stage, called low category, 2) 60% of students reached illumination stage though students take a long time, called middle category, and 3) 16,67% of students have completed up to verification stage, called upper category. For students in low and middle category, they still need assistance when experiencing obstacles in the creative thinking process, while the upper category students need enrichment materials.
