Abstract:
This study aimed to analyze mathematical creative thinking skills in problem-solving in terms of the adversity quotient. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. It was conducted on 23 third-semester students of Tarbiyah Faculty at Ibrahimy University. The data were collected using a questionnaire, test, interviews, and documentation. The questionnaire was used to determine the Adversity Quotient scale. The test is to measure the students' mathematical creative thinking ability. The test results were used to divide the students into three groups based on their ability level. Two students were selected from each group to be interviewed. Data analysis was induction and data reduction theory. The results of the Adversity Quotient scale questionnaire showed that there were 6 students (26%) with the quitter type, 14 students (61%) with the camper type, and 3 students (13%) with the climber type. The test results showed that there were 8 students (35%) with high abilities, 11 students (48%) with moderate abilities, and 4 students (17%) with low abilities. The analysis showed that the fluency criteria of students with the quitter type meet three problem-solving indicators. The students with flexibility criteria in the camper type met all problem-solving indicators but lacked detail. Meanwhile, the students with originality criteria in the climber type could fulfill all problem-solving indicators in detail.
