    The effect of using differentiated teaching strategy in the development of creative thinking skills in second secondary students in the subject of mathematics and improve attitudes towards it. To achieve the objective of the study, the researcher prepared a teacher's guide for the use of differentiated teaching strategy in teaching mathematics of the second secondary grade, , as the researcher prepared a measure of attitudes towards interpretation, The researcher used quasi- experimental approach. The study sample consisted of (80) students divided into four groups (2) experimental (male and female) and (2) control (male and female), the experimental group has been taught using differentiated teaching strategy while the control group did not use this strategy, and in the end of the experiment the Torrance Verbal Test of Creative Thinking and the trends measurement were applied on the experimental and control groups. The results of the study showed a statistically significant difference between the average scores of the experimental and control groups students in applying Torrance creative thinking test in each skill of the three creative thinking skills and on the test as a whole. As well as the trends scale towards mathematics of these differences for the experimental group students who have studied using the differentiated teaching strategy. As the results of the study showed no statistically significant differences between the average scores of the experimental group and control group students due to the variable gender. In light of the results, the researcher made a number of suggestions and recommendations.

This study was conducted as an attempt to discover the effect of applying Demonstration Method on students’ achievement in speaking skill. It was an experimental research. The subject was students of Grade XII, Vocational High School (Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan: SMK), which consisted of 79 students. The research was divided into two groups: experimental and control groups. The instrument used to collect the data was speaking test. To obtain the reliability of the test, the writer applied Kuder Richardson 21 formula. The result of the reliability was 0.7, and it was found that the test was reliable. The data were analyzed by using t-test formula. The analysis showed that the scores of the students in the experimental group were significantly higher than the scores of the students in the control group at the level of significant m = 0.05 with the degree of freedom (df) 77, t-observed value 8.9 > t-table value 1.99. The findings indicate that using Demonstration Method significantly affected the students’ achievement in speaking skill. So, English teachers are suggested to use Demonstration Method in order to improve students’ achievement in speaking skill.

<p>The purpose of this study is to obtain a profile of students’ creative thinking skills on quantitative project-based protein testing using local materials. Implementation of the research is using quasi-experimental method pre-test post-test control group design with 40 students involved in Biochemistry lab. The research instrument is pre-test and post-test using creative thinking skills in the form of description and students’ questionnaire. The analysis was performed with SPSS 22.0 program to see the significance normality, U Mann-Whitney test for nonparametric statistics, N-Gain score, and the percentage of student responses to the practicum performed. The research result shows that the pretest rate in the experimental group is 8.25 while in the control group is 6.90. After attending a project-based practicum with local materials, the experimental group obtained the mean of posttest is 37.55 while in control class is 11.18. The students’ improvement on creative thinking skills can be seen from the average of N-Gain in the experimental class with 0.32 (medium category) and in the control category with 0.05 (low category). The experimental and control class have different creative thinking skills significantly different fluency, flexibility, novelty, and detail. It can be concluded that quantitative project-based protein testing using local materials can improve students’ creative thinking skills. 71% of total students feel that quantitative project-based protein testing using local materials make them more creative in doing a practicum in the laboratory.</p>

The sample was selected randomly; it consists of two groups, experimental group 43 and a control group 39. The study was based on semi-experimental design pre&mdash;post-test, where the experimental group was taught using inquiry and brainstorming strategies, but the control group was taught using the usual strategies. The results of the study showed that there were statistically significant differences between the average scores of the experimental and control groups in the post achievement and creative thinking skills in general and their skills separately for the students of the experimental group. Also, the results showed a positive correlation between the scores of the experimental group in post creative thinking skills, and post achievement test in general. The effectiveness of inquiry and brainstorming strategies in the development of achievement levels and creative thinking skills was significant effect. The study recommended using the Inquiry and brainstorming strategies in the teaching Arabic language of university students.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to determine whether the use of problem-based learning model provides a better effect than on guided inquiry and expository on critical and creative thinking skills of students in SMA N 1 Comal Pemalang 2012/2013. The experiment was conducted from 31 July 2012 until 10 August 2012. The study population was all class X which amounts to 9 classes. Samples taken are three classes, namely X-5 as the control group, a class X-6 as the experimental group 1 and Class X-7 as the experimental group 2. The final analysis using t-test (right side), for students' critical skills: the first experimental class and control: tcount> ttable = 4.64> 2.00, the experimental class 2 and control: tcount> ttable = 2.37 > 2.00 and the class experiment 1 and experiment 2: tcount> ttable = 2.68> 1.99. For the critical skills of students in the experimental class 1 and control: tcount> ttable = 4.41> 2.00, the experimental class 2 and control: tcount> ttable = 5.29> 2.00 and the class experiment 1 and experiment 2 : tcount> ttable = 2.27> 1.99. From these results it can be concluded that the experimental class one that uses problem based learning give influence better than both the other classes using guided inquiry and expository on the ability of students to think critically and creatively. Keywords: problem-based learning, guided inquiry, critical thinking and creative students.

In this study, to examine the change in individuals' critical thinking skills, a new unit was developed in which STEM was integrated. The outcomes of this 7th-grade unit were selected from related disciplines. During the learning process of the developed Force and Energy unit, it was aimed that individuals could make judgments by gaining critical thinking skills and evaluate events in a multi-dimensional way. In this study, which lasted for five weeks, the developed unit was used to conduct lessons with the experimental group (N=25) while the control group (N=25) was traditionally taught. The Critical Thinking Scales developed by Demir (2006a) were used in the research process. Before the implementation, no significant difference was found between the experimental and control groups regarding critical thinking skills, but after the implementation, a significant difference was observed in favour of the experimental group. When the scores obtained from the sub-scales (interpretation and explanation) were compared, a significant difference was found in favour of the experimental group. When the changes in the experimental and control groups were examined, there was no significant change in the control group students, but a significant change was found in favour of the experimental group. These changes occurred in the evaluation, Interpretation, and explanation sub-scales of the critical thinking scale.
