Development of learning tools with collaborative strategies and their influence on students' creative thinking ability in an online learning environment.

Learning in the digital era brings a significant change in the learning process. Among them are teachers and students are required to be adaptive to the ability to use technology. One strategy to overcome this is to apply collaborative learning that emphasizes the learning process in groups. Prioritizing interactions between friends that can make students respect each other, to support the improvement of creative thinking processes and problem-solving abilities in types of questions open-ended. This study aims to develop learning tools collaborative learning and determine their effect on students' creative thinking skills. This study uses a method with a sequential exploratory combination model. The development design uses a 4D model (define, design, develop and disseminate). This type of research uses a nonequivalent control group design experimental model. The results showed that-based learning tools collaborative learning had a significant influence on students' creative thinking abilities. In addition, the developed devices are practical and effective if implemented in the learning process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
