Systematic literature review: The framework of creative thinking behavior

Abstract

Creative thinking behavior is an activity in the creative thinking process. Understanding it can help educators design strategies to improve student creativity. The urgency of researching the creative thinking behavior framework is to design effective and appropriate learning strategies. Researchers conducted a systematic literature review to synthesize relevant research as the basis for the preparation of the creative thinking behavior framework. At the SLR stage, validation was carried out by expert judgment on the indicators of creative thinking behavior. The results were analyzed with I-CVI, S-CVI/Ave, and S-CVI/UA, with a value range of 0-1. The results obtained by I-CVI, S-CVI/Ave, and S-CVI/UA received a value of 1, so they are declared valid. The resulting framework includes indicators of creative thinking behavior, which are: (1) Fluency, which is expressing, confirming slowly, and emphasizing a number of ideas or alternative answers; (2) Flexibility, which is identifying, expressing, and classifying approaches or concepts from various perspectives or conceptual approaches in solving problems; (3) Elaboration, which is enriching information, modifying, and marking details of concepts or ideas generated to make them more interesting; and (4) Originality, which is expressing, combining, or modifying different answer ideas to create unique solutions. The research results contribute findings to the development of appropriate learning strategies that encourage creativity.
