This research was a pre test-post test experimental control group design having a goal to analyze  the role of Inductive-Deductive Approach (IDA) on improving  students’ mathematical creative thinking ability (MCTA) and self efficacy (MSE). Subjects of this research were  70  eleventh grade students from two classes selected purposively in a Senior High School in Garut. Instruments of this research were a MCTA test, and a MSE scale. The research found that the role of IDA was greater than the role of scientific approach (SA) on improving  students’ MCTA and MSE. Students getting treatment with IDA approach obtained MCTA and MSE at good grades qualification. While students taught by SA attained MCTA and MSE at low-moderate grades level.  Apart of those findings, the research found that students getting treatment with IDA encountered a litle bit difficulty  in solving MCTA tasks. In contrast students taught by SA experienced in allmost items of MCTA tasks. In addition, the research also found there was no assocition between MCTA and MSE and students performed good and active learning during IDA lessons.Keyword: mathematical creative thinking, mathematical self efficacy, model eliciting activities (IDA)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
