Table 3 above shows a very significant increase in the three skills measured, namely creative
thinking skills, problem solving and also learning independence before and after learning with the
Creative Problem Solving model. The N-gain value obtained based on the improvement in the three
skills is 0.8 and is in the high category. In the pre-cycle stage, students demonstrate low levels of
creative thinking, problem-solving, and learning independence. After going through three learning
cycles with the Creative Problem Solving method, there was a very significant improvement in these
skills. The difference in values between pre-cycle and post-cycle shows a consistent increase from
cycle to cycle. These results indicate that the Creative Problem Solving learning model is effective in
improving students' creative thinking, problem-solving, and learning independence skills. These
results also show the potential and effectiveness of the learning model in improving students' ability
to face future challenges.
4. Conclusion
The results of classroom action research using the Creative Problem Solving (CPS) learning
model prove that there is an improvement in creative thinking skills, problem-solving skills, and
learning independence skills in English literature learning grade XI of the language specialization
program of SMA Santa Ursula Jakarta has been obtained through three learning cycles which include
the stages of planning, action, observation, and reflection. Based on the conclusion above, several
processes and reflection results can be input for several parties as suggestions in the implementation
of learning activities with the same method, namely the Creative Problem Solving (CPS) learning
method is a good method to be carried out in the classroom that expects the results of students'
thinking with the results of new understanding and knowledge. (1) In Creative Problem-Solving
learning, teachers must prepare and carry out each stage completely and sequentially so that the
expected learning outcomes can achieve maximum results. (2) The five stages in the Creative problem
solving learning model can be divided into different days but still sequential with continuous material,
especially in the fourth stage of the Creative Problem Solving learning method, namely the
implementation of the solution, the teacher needs to pay attention to enough time for students to
complete their work so that the learning goals can be achieved. (3) The results of this research can be
used as a reference in implementing Creative problem solving learning model activities. (4) This
research can be used as a reference in carrying out learning activities to improve creative thinking
skills, problem-solving skills and students' learning independence skills. In addition to teachers and
schools, this research is also expected to be useful for other researchers (1) This research can be a
reference for other researchers who are interested in conducting research on the application of the
Creative Problem Solving learning model. (2) The results of this study can be used as a reference to
measure other competencies using the Creative Problem Solving learning model. (3) This research
can be a valuable reference source for further research or similar research on different competencies,
both in other schools and at different levels of education.,
