| Summary: | The purposes of this study are to identify level of scientific creativity, level of scientific attitude among the prospective chemistry teachers, and to study the relationship between level of the prospective chemistry teachers’ scientific creativity and scientific attitude. This study used quantitative approach with descriptive research. This study involved 92 prospective chemistry teachers from 2 universities in Pekanbaru, Riau- Indonesia which were selected by using simple random sampling. Data was collected by using chemistry scientific creativity test containing 3 openended questions, and online questionnaire which were developed by researcher and validated by 3 experts. Furthermore, data from chemistry scientific creativity test was analyzed by percentage and then it was determined level of scientific creativity by comparing percentage of score to criteria level of scientific creativity. Data obtained from online questionnaires was analyzed using median, and score obtained from scientific creativity test and scientific attitude questionnaire further was analyzed using Spearman correlation by using SPSS. The result showed that level of scientific creativity among prospective chemistry teachers was moderate due to low ability in flexibility and fluency, level of scientific attitude among prospective chemistry teachers was high level, and there was no significant relationship between level of scientific creativity, and scientific attitude. Moderate level of scientific creativity makes it necessary to improve because it would influence how the prospective chemistry teachers conduct learning and teaching chemistry in the future and produce scientific creative future students. |
