Quantum teaching and learning model using mind mapping and its effect on creative thinking skills and establishment of senior high school student characters in biology subject

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of quantum teaching and learning model assisted by mind mapping on creative thinking skills and student character development. The research method was quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest nonequivalent control group design. The research population is all student in grade XI IPA (Science) SMA 7 Malang with XI IPA-2 as research sample for the experimental class. The experimental class was given treatment through learning with mind mapping assisted quantum teaching model. For the control class is class XI IPA-4, and this class was for Biology learning using the quantum teaching model only. Data analysis used ANAKOVA with a significance level of 0.05, which was previously tested for data normality and data homogeneity. The results showed that the quantum teaching model assisted with mind mapping could improve: 1) creative thinking skills, and 2) the formation of student characters.
