Abstract:
Graph theory can be applied to solve various life problems such as optimization of distribution cost, minimum time routing, and project scheduling. In the Graph Theory Application course, one of the student’s project tasks was a field survey to the industry / institution / company. From problems found, they identified and solved problems, modelled problems in graph, and developed the solution design. The purpose of this study was to identify the students’ level of creative thinking in posing the problem and designing for the problem solving. To measure the level of creativity, Terrace Test of Creativity Thinking (TTCT) was adapted. Data of the students' creativity dimensions (fluency, flexibility and novelty) in solving the problem of graph theory were used to analyse the creative thinking level of students (very creative, creative, creative enough, less creative, and not creative). From the data analysis, the students' creative thinking level in the Graph Theory Application was domi
nant in level of creative thinking 3 i.e. the student was able to show fluency and novelty or fluency and flexibility in problem posing and problem solving. For the creative thinking level 4 (very creative) and level 1 (less creative) were in small percentage, and no student with creative level 0 (not creative).
