ABSTRACT
This research aims to design and validate the contents of the mathematical creative problem-solving (MCPS) instrument to measure creative problem-solving skills. This instrument consists of four aspects, each with related items representing latent variables for promoting students’ MCPS.
An instrument construct that contains aspects of divergent and convergent thinking is presented.
The stimulus provided is real problems in everyday life (real-world situations) with tiered levels of
structure of the observed learning outcome (SOLO) taxonomy. The question structure developed
is in the form of near-transfer and far-transfer questions. The content validity process is presented
by seven expert validators experienced in mathematics, mathematics education, and
measurement. The level of agreement between expert assessments is determined using the Aiken
formula. Aiken coefficient for all items is above the good threshold. The instrument developed
has demonstrated strong content validity and is recommended for measuring MCPS skills of junior
high school students.
