The Effectiveness of Collaborative and Discovery Learning Methods in Improving Students’ Creative Thinking Ability in “Aqidah Akhlaq” Learning in Madrasah Tsanawiyah
No full textObjective: The researcher chose a topic of discussion regarding the comparison of 2 learning models that are theoretically effective for use in the classroom when learning Aqidah Akhlak. In its application, learning the Aqidah Morals can be delivered through several methods. This research aims to test the effectiveness of collaborative and discovery learning models on students' creative thinking skills. Method: The research method used was a pre-test and post-test design experiment. The research sample consisted of 2 classes divided into two groups, namely two experimental groups that used collaborative and discovery learning models. The data analysis technique used in this research is the normality test using the Shapiro-Wilk, independent sample t-test, paired sample t-test, and N-Gain tests. Results: After the treatment, the data analysis from the post-test scores can be seen. Based on the N-Gain Test shows that creative thinking skills increased significantly in both groups after treatment, with data results in the collaborative group being 0.46 < 0.70 in the medium category and the discovery group only 0.27 < 0.30 in the low category. These data showed a more significant improvement in the group that received collaborative learning than in the discovery group. Novelty: This research presents novelty, which lies in the comparative approach taken to analyze the two methods simultaneously, as well as the use of holistic, quantitative measuring tools to identify significant changes in students' creative thinking abilities

Layers of Student Understanding Based on Pirie Kieren's theory in Solving Story Problems in Terms of Cognitive Style
No full textObjective: Understanding lines and angles serves as the foundation for further mathematical topics such as trigonometry, geometry, calculus, etc. Students may struggle with advanced mathematical reasoning and problem-solving without a firm grasp of these basic concepts. This study aims to investigate how students' mathematical understanding processes are based on the folding back theory. Method: The research utilizes a qualitative approach with descriptive eksploratif design. Two subjects were selected from 28 seventh-grade students, each representing the field-dependent and field-independent cognitive style. Data was collected through mathematical comprehension tests, GEFT tests, and interviews. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and verification stages, with each subject being interviewed to verify the processes. Results: Based on the research results, students in the field-independent cognitive style were much more active and better understood the problem-solving process than those in the field-dependent. However, both subjects still required learning assistance. Novelty: This research explores the folding back theory in the mathematical understanding process based on cognitive styles, whereas previous studies have mainly focused on mathematical comprehension abilities. Therefore, further research would benefit from using instructional media to better engage students in understanding the material
