Abstract

This research is a qualitative descriptive research by using 4D development consisting of the Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate stages. The research was carried out to develop a spatial visual-oriented geometric test to measure elementary students' creative thinking skills. The creative thinking level of each student has different categories based on the fluency, flexibility, and novelty. The subjects of this research consisted of 5 students from 30 fifth grade students from elementary school which were selected based on the van Hiele's level ability category of each student. Operationally, the steps of this research included the preliminary step of research, data collection, and data analysis. The data of this research was obtained by using tests, observation, and interview. The data of the students was obtained by conducting a learning outcome test. The results has showed that 5 students who met the category of students' creative thinking had a variation on the percentage of the creative thinking level by using a spatial test, namely 40%, 20%, 20%, 20%, 20%, which were respectively categorized as very creative (level 4), creative (level 3), quite creative (level 2), less creative (level 1). There were 2 of 5 students who were at the same level, namely as very creative (level 4) but had differences in answering.
