Eksperimentasi mind mapping methods terhadap hasil belajar matematika ditinjau dari keterampilan berpikir kreatif Siswa SMP Wahidiyah Kediri

Abstract

Based  on  initial  observations,  the mathematics scores  of  the  Wahidiyah  Junior  High  School Kediri  students  are  low  and  still  use  the  lecture  method.  This  is  thought  to  cause  students' cognitive learning outcomes to be low and inhibit creative thinking skills. The purpose of this study  is  to  find  out  which  mathematics  learning  outcomes  and  creative  thinking  skills  are better,  using  the  mind  mapping  method  or  the  lecture  method.  This  research  method  is  a quantitative  method  with  a  quasi-experimental  research  type  with  a  2  x  3  factorial  research design.  The  samples  in  this  study  were  students  of  class  VII  A  and  VII  B.  The  data  analysis technique  in  this  study  used  2-way  ANOVA.  Based  on  the  data  analysis,  it  can  be  concluded that  the  mathematics  learning  outcomes  of  students  who  were  given mind  mapping  methods were  better  than  students  who  were  given  the  lecture  method  in  terms  of  creative  thinking skills.  In  students  who  were  given  mind mapping  methods  and  lecture  methods,  students  who had high creative thinking skills were better than students who had moderate and low creative thinking  skills;  students  who  have  moderate  creative  thinking  skills  are  better  than  students who have low creative thinking skills.
