Geographical Creative Thinking Ability (GCTA) of Students in the Diamond Panning Cempaka Area Banjarbaru

Summary/Abstract: This research aims to identify students' geographical creative thinking ability (GCTA) and analyze teachers' problems in developing GCTA for high school students in the diamond panning area, Banjarbaru City, South Kalimantan. This research method is a quantitative method using survey techniques and a qualitative method using interview techniques. The research sample consisted of 234 students and 11 geography teachers. The results of the research show that most of the GCTA in the diamond panning area of Banjarbaru City have a fairly creative predicate of 39.7% and a less creative predicate of 35.5%. Another finding was that high school GCTAs in city centers far from diamond panning had higher GCTAs in terms of fluency, flexibility and elaboration. However, in terms of originality, suburban students near the panning area had better results. Most teachers have implemented the development of students' GCTA, but have encountered challenges and obstacles. The findings in this research can provide input to schools, teachers in particular, and related institutions to provide the best solutions in the form of new policies, such as making a curriculum that is relevant to the needs of students and teachers in terms of developing creativity.
