Penerapan Model Connected Mathematic Project untuk Meningkatan Kemampuan Berpikir Kreatif Matematis Siswa Madrasah Aliyah

This research is motivated by the low mathematical creative thinking of students of Aliyah Madrasah, so it is necessary to look for alternative learning that can improve mathematical creative thinking of Madrasah Aliyah students. The alternative learning applied is the connected mathematics project learning model. This study aims to find out (1) whether or not there is an increase in mathematical creative thinking skills of Madrasah Aliyah students; (2) Student activities during mathematics learning with the connected mathematics project Learning model. This research was conducted at the Aliyah Mathla'ul Anwar Madrasah Menes Center in the first semester of the 2017/2018 school year. The research method used is the quasi-experimental method. The population in the study was class XI Madrasah Aliyah Mathla'ul Anwar Pusat Menes Pandeglang District, while the sample was taken randomly from two classes from six classes in the school. Class XI Religion is an experimental class, namely a class that has learned to apply the connected mathematics project and class XI IPS as a control class, namely a class whose learning applies conventional learning. The research data was obtained by using the research instrument in the form of a question test instrument in a linear program material in the form of 5 questions. Question test data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics using the average difference test. The results of the study show: (1) There is an increase in mathematical creative thinking skills using the connected mathematics project learning model; (2) Positive student activities during mathematics learning with the connected mathematics project learning model.
