The data were collected using Visualizer-Verbalizer Questionnaire (VVQ), a creative thinking ability test assisted with augmented reality and interview. The final scale from the visualizer scale has a Cronbach alpha value of 0.67, while the verbalizer scale has a Cronbach alpha value of 0.66. The results show that the visualizer students meet all the indicators of creative thinking ability: fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration.
