Learning this model is done to condition students as a center of learning, increase creativity and learning outcomes, the project undertaken is called the MANSA Historical board game (MANSA is taken from the abbreviation of our school name). In this case, students are asked to create, design their own board game on a different topic for each group. This study aims to determine the differences in learning outcomes and creativity between the control class and the experimental class of students at senior high schools in Salatiga, Indonesia. The research model used is quasi-experimental. The respondents of the research were 35 students in the experimental class and 35 students in the control class, who had the same homogeneity in creativity and learning outcomes. The results showed that the MANSA Historical board game had a significant effect on creativity and student learning outcomes.

As shown by the mean different test results, there was a difference in the creativity of 0.593 and a learning outcome of 4.224 between the control class and the experimental class before and after treatment. The results showed a difference in learning outcomes between the control class and the experimental class. The average learning outcomes of the experimental class are higher than the average learning outcomes of the control class, as well as student creativity.

Museum Virtual Tour Development Using 3D Vista as a History Learning Source

“…The large increase in the value of learning outcomes obtained by students shows that the learning resources of the Sriwijaya Museum Virtual Tour have a potential impact on students in learning history material evidence of the relics of the Srivijaya kingdom (Lionar & Mulyana, 2019;Perdana et al, 2018).

“…This type of thinking is a high-level skill that students should have (Barton and Levstik 2004;Barton, 2011). Historical thinking skills require students to take a more active role in the classroom that goes beyond the transfer of knowledge from teacher to student (Kesuma, 2020). Historical thinking involves teaching students the ability to apply procedural knowledge to investigate and interpret historical events (Seixas and Peck, 2004;Duquette, 2015).…”
