The Enhancement of Mathematical Creative Thinking and Logical Thinking Ability, and Student Habits of Mind in Junior High School Through ASSURE Learning Model

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to analyze the enhancement of creative thinking and logical thinking ability through ASSURE learning model with used a problem-based learning method. The research design is pretest-posttest with experimental and control class. The research data was obtained using a test of creative and logical thinking skills. The results of the study show that; (1) based on overall and high initial mathematical abilities, the enhancement mathematical creative thinking ability of students who obtained ASSURE learning model is significantly higher than students who obtain conventional learning. (2) Based on overall and the initial mathematical abilities (low, medium and high), the enhancement mathematical logical thinking ability of students who obtained ASSURE learning model is significantly higher than students who obtain conventional learning. (3) Students habits of mind who obtained ASSURE learning model are better than students who obtained conventional learning.
