The purpose of this research was to determine: improving the ability of mathematical and selfconfidence of students of class X of SMA Negeri 1 Barus taught by Model Eliciting Activities (MEAs), and to view whether there was interaction between learning with student's gender to the ability ofCreative Thinking Mathematically and student self-confidence. This type of research was a quasi-experiment research. The population in this study was all students of SMA Negeri 1 Barus. The sample in this research were 32 students of X-1 class as experiment class and 32 students of class X-2 as control class through purposive sampling method.The data in this research were analyzed by using ANAVA 2 Path. The validation result on the test of creative thinking ability got the significance value 0,82, meanwhile the test reliability value got the result 0,87. The results obtained: (1) Increased ability of creative thinking mathematically and self-confidence of students who gained learning Eliciting Activities Model (MEAs) was higher than the ability to think creatively mathematically and self-confidence students who obtained conventional learning; (2) There was no interaction between learning and gender of students towards the improvement of the ability of creative thinking mathematically and student self-confidence.
Abstract-The Model-Eliciting Activities (MEAs) approach is a reality-based approach, works in small groups and presents a model to help students build problem solving and get students to apply an understanding of the mathematical concepts which they have learned. The main adventages of MEAs to develop student's thinking then students can create their own models to solve mathematical problems. The purpose of this study is to test influence of the MEAs learning approach on student's craetive thinking skills and self-confidence. This study is a quasiexperimental research using pre-test and post-test control group design. The data in this research were analyzed using Two Ways ANOVA using SPSS 17.0 for windows. Results of Two Ways ANOVA shows that the MEAs approach has significant value gained 0.000 and 0.012 which are less than 0.05. This means that H0 refused and H1 accepted so there is influence of MEAs approach on creative thinking skills and self-confidence.
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.
