 Abstract: Arithmetics is one of the topics in Mathematics, which deals with logic and detailed process upon generalizing formula. Creativity and flexibility are needed in generalizing formula of arithmetics series. This research aimed at analyzing students creative thinking skills in generalizing arithmetic series. The triangulation method and research-based learning was used in this research. The subjects were students of the Master Program of Mathematics Education in Faculty of Teacher Training and Education at Jember University. The data was collected by giving assignments to the students. The data collection was done by giving open problem-solving task and documentation study to the students to arrange generalization pattern based on the dependent function formula i and the function depend on i and j. Then, the students finished the next problem-solving task to construct arithmetic generalization patterns based on the function formula which depends on i and i + n and the sum formula of functions dependent on i and j of the arithmetic compiled. The data analysis techniques operative in this study was Miles and Huberman analysis model. Based on the result of data analysis on task 1, the levels of students creative thinking skill were classified as follows; 22,22% of the students categorized as “not creative“; 38.89% of the students categorized as “less creative” category; 22.22% of the students categorized as “sufficiently creative“; and 16.67% of the students categorized as “creative“. By contrast, the results of data analysis on task 2 found that the levels of students creative thinking skills were classified as follows; 22.22% of the students categorized as “sufficiently creative“, 44.44% of the students categorized as “creative“; and 33.33% of the students categorized as “very creative“. This analysis result can set the basis for teaching references and actualizing a better teaching model in order to increase students creative thinking skills.

    • sama-sama…
      ada beberpa hal yang harus diperhatikan
      1. pinter-pinternya memilih conference yang tepat dan akurat
      2. terlebih dulu ceks laman jurnal atau conferenceapakah benar2 terindeks Scopus
      3. sebagiknya referensi merujuk pada artikel2 yang terdapat pada conferensi yang dituju atau laman yang menyediakan jurnal terindeks scopus

      4. bersambung……
