Teacher Tranning to Improve Critical and Creative Thinking Ability with Geogebra by Mathematics Department Team
The ability to think critically and creatively are two important
things in mathematics. These two skills are the focus of learning in the
21st century to prepare students for the challenges of the future. This
encourages a team of lecturers in the mathematics department,
coordinated by Fridgo Tasman, S.Pd., M.Sc, to provide workshops to
teachers to be able to design and implement learning that can improve
critical and creative thinking skills in the classroom with grup of
senior high school math teacher in west sumatera province as partners.
Due to Covid 19, activities that planned offline had to move to the
online method by using the zoom meeting application. The activity
started on September 26, 2020 and closed on October 17, 2020 and was
attended by approximately 20 high school teachers spread across West
Sumatra.
The activity presented speakers, Prof. Dr. Ahmad Fauzan, M.Pd., M.Sc,
who explained about critical and creative thinking. Then followed by
examples of learning critical and creative thinking delivered by Dr.
Yerizon, M.Si and Defri Ahmad, M.Si. Apart from that, the participating
teachers were also given workshops on how to make critical and creative
thinking learning using geogebra classrooms.
Geogebra classroom itself is one of the developments from geogebra
that allows teachers to design activities and view student work directly
and stored online. In addition, students can also do activities
designed by the teacher online either by using cellphones or laptops.
The teachers make a positive impression on the geogebra and geogebra
classroom. Even though the activities are carried out virtually, they
can provide learning solutions for teachers in the midst of a pandemic.
The teachers also hope that this activity can be done again in the
future and can be done face-to-face.
Some of the recorded activities can be seen in the following section;
