The measurement of critical-thinking skills used a 6-essay-question instrument of the chemical material of electrolyte and non-electrolyte solutions that measures the aspects based on Facione theory, namely: analysis, inference, explanation, interpretation, evaluation, and self-regulation. Then, to measure creative-thinking skills, a 4-essay-question test instrument of the chemical material that includes 4 aspects according to Torrance, fluency, flexibility, original and elaboration, was used.

This study aims to examine the factors that drive student creativity, identify key factors and look at differences in creativity factors for male and female students. A total of 119 respondents from one polytechnic in the southern zone were involved in this study. The study data were obtained from the administered questionnaire and the Cronbach Alpha value obtained was α = 0.873 and then analyzed using descriptive and inferential analysis. Descriptive analysis of student gender was seen using frequency and percentage while inference analysis using t-test at a significant level 0.05 was used to see the difference in creativity factors between genders. The results of the study found that the main factor that motivates student creativity is the knowledge factor with a mean value of 4.3025. In addition, studies also show that there is no difference in creativity factors between male and female students except for the knowledge factor. It is also hoped that this finding will provide an opportunity for lecturers to continue to strive and give encouragement during the teaching and learning process so that students' creativity can be highlighted through the factors that have been mentioned.

This research is a qualitative research with the qualitative descriptive method. The technique of research subject taking in this research use purposive sampling technique. The subjects of this study amounted to 9 students. Data collection techniques used were questionnaire perception and disposition of students' mathematical creative thinking, observation, interview and documentation of mathematics learning. Data analysis techniques, namely data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. The validity of data in this study using the content validity, construct validity and reliability and triangulation techniques. According to the results of the study and discussion, the conclusion of this study is Based on the gender and disposition of mathematical creative thinking, the perception of mathematics learning that is produced, that is for high DBKM and positive perception is only found in male students, for high DBKM and medium perception, Male and female students, for medium DBKM and medium perception, female students tend to be more than male students, for medium DBKM and negative perceptions of male students tend to be more than female students, for low DBKM and perception is being Only in boys, and for low DBKM and negative perceptions are only found in female students. The disposition of high mathematical creative thinking and positive perception is very influential on learning mathematics because students who have high DBKM and positive perception will be better in learning mathematics than students who have DBKM and perceptions other than high DBKM and positive perceptions of mathematics learning.

This research aims to examine the effect of teaching by using strategies that stimulate neural branching in creative and critical thinking of study groups. The sample of this study consisted of two experimental groups and a control group. In terms of the treatment, one experimental group was taught using strategies that stimulate the neural branching in human brain mentally. The other experimental group was taught using the same strategies supported by technology. The control group was taught using the traditional instruction. The sample included (95) male student and (102) female students from two schools of the governorate of Muscat. To answer the research questions, Torrance test of creative thinking (TTCT) and Watson & Glaser critical thinking test (WGCTT) were used. The results show that the experimental groups significantly outperformed the control group with respect to the creative thinking test. However there were no statistically significant differences between the study's groups in the critical thinking test. This study recommends investment of mental capacities of the learners to encourage creative thinking and train teachers on using methods that stimulate neural branching.
