The Development of Learning Implementation Based on Mathematical Models to Enhance Creative Problems Solving Ability in the Topic of Circles for Students in Grade 6

Abstract

          This research aimed to study the appropriate learning implementation based on mathematical models to enhance creative problems solving ability in the topic of circle for students in grade 6 and the result of using learning implementation based on mathematical models to enhance creative problems solving ability in the topic of circle for students in grade 6. The participants were 5 students in grade 6 of one small educational opportunity expansion school of Phrae Province in the second semester of 2022 academic year. The researcher used the model of classroom action research, 4 cycles of action which are totally 16 hours. The instruments used in the research were lesson plans using mathematical models, learning reflection form, activity sheets, and creative problem solving ability test. Data were analyzed by analytic induction and data creditability by triangulation method. The results revealed that most students were in high level of creative problems solving ability. For subscale components of creative problems solving ability, most of students were in high level in fact finding ability, problem solving ability, and solution finding ability. While, students were in moderate level in idea finding ability and creating new knowledge ability. So, It can be concluded that learning management using mathematical models can help develop students' creative problem solving ability.
