Abstract

Objectives The research purpose of this study is, first, to devise and apply creative and personality activities containing creative and personality elements. Second, it improves learners' academic achievement through creative and personality activities. Third, creativity and personality activities are used to positively change learners' mathematical learning attitudes.
 Methods The study was conducted on 60 students in two classes in the second grade of 00 High School located in 00 Metropolitan City where the researcher works. Two classes were selected based on the results of the midterm exam in the first semester of the second grade, and the first class was divided into a research class and the other class was divided into a comparative class, and 13 classes were conducted for about two months from May 2 to July 5, 2021. The research class (30 students) was taught as creative and personality activities, and the comparative class (30 students) was taught based on traditional textbooks. The learning activities of the research class and the comparative class were different. The contents of the map were taught at the same level. In the research class, the ratio of classes with creative and personality activities and classes with traditional textbook-oriented classes was 4:6. This researcher was in charge of the second grade, so the study was conducted on the second grade. The actual instruction of the class was guided by the researcher in the research class and the comparison class.
 Results As a result of the study, first, in this study, the learning contents for each unit were first set and creative and personality activities were conducted. By applying this to the class, it was possible to improve academic achievement and mathematical learning attitude. Second, creativity and personality activities were more effective in academic achievement and mathematical learning attitudes compared to traditional textbook-centered classes for students in the upper, middle, and lower ranks. Third, in creative and personality activities, low-ranking students, who are usually ignored in math classes, also became interested in the class, showing an improvement in the level of academic achievement.
 Conclusions In conclusion, the research class taught as creative and personality activities had significant differences in academic achievement and mathematical attitudes compared to the comparative class.
