Abstract
Creative thinking is the ability to analyze something based on data or information to
generate new ideas for understanding something. In developing creative thinking skills, students
must go through several stages, such as the stimulus stage, the exploration stage, the planning
stage, the activity stage, and the review stage. Each of these stages needs to be carried out carefully
in order to develop students' creative thinking abilities as part of an effort to prepare students to
face the increasingly rapid development of the era. Discussion method is a way of presenting
lesson material in which educators give opportunities to students (or groups of students) to hold
scientific discussions to gather various opinions, draw conclusions, or develop alternative ways of
solving the problems being discussed. This method is also useful in broadening the mindset of
students. Students become more tolerant as they become accustomed to listening to people's
opinions, even if they disagree with themselves or others. This is important for students, especially
in their future, in order to be able to grow and develop scientific attitudes and ways of thinking so
that they are brave in expressing their opinions when faced with various problems that cannot be
solved alone but must be solved through cooperation or deliberation to maybe obtain a solution
that is better.
The objectives of this study are to: (1) describe the implementation of discussion method
to enhance creative thinking skills in learning English at MA Singo Walisongo Magetan; (2)
explain the factors that support and hinder the implementation of discussion method in enhancing
students’ creative thinking skills in learning English at MA Singo Walisongo Magetan; and (3)
describe the students’ creative thinking skills before and after the implementation of the discussion
method in learning English at MA Singo Walisongo Magetan.
This study applies a qualitative-descriptive approach. The data in this study was sourced
from the English teacher and the entire class X students. The data were collected using three data
collection techniques, which included observation, interviews, and documentation. The data that
has been obtained is then analyzed using the theory of Lexy J. Moleong, which includes the
processes of organizing data, summarizing data, and checking data validity.
Based on data analysis, it was found that (1) the discussion method in learning English
involves preparing learning tools, understanding core competencies, basic competencies, learning
objectives, mastering the material, active interaction between teacher and students, simplification
of the material, making assessment benchmarks, and preparing class conditions; (2) the discussion
method in learning English is supported by students' interest in learning, facilities and
infrastructure, teachers' sincerity and devotion, and discussion rules, while inhibiting factors
include different characters of the students, misuse of smartphones, and lack of support from
parents; and (3) students' ability to think creatively in learning English before the discussion
method was not in good state. After the implementation, they are able to fulfill the characteristics
of creative thinking skills, such as flexibility, fluency, original thinking, elaboration, and
evaluation skills.
