A Study of Mathematical Creative Thinking Ability of Senior High School Students Through Alberta Inquiry Learning Model at Siak Watershed Area, Riau Province

Abstract

The research is aimed at examining mathematical creative thinking ability of senior high school students using Alberta inquiry learning model and conventional learning method in Siak watershed, and disseminating Alberta inquiry learning model. This quasi-experimental research used nonequivalent control group design. The research population was senior high school students in Siak watershed, Riau Province. Forty-six students of grade X were chosen as the samples. The data were analyzed using t-test.
