The analysis of output based learning implementation in improving students creative and innovative thinking skills in solving H-Irregularity

Abstract

This research aims to find out the implementation of output-based learning (OBL) in increasing students’ creative and innovative thinking skills in solving H-irregularity. The research method used in this research is mixed methods. Mixed methods is a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. Qualitative methods are used to obtain data related to the testing result on each indicator and the result of phase portrait while quantitative methods are used to analyze statistics using SPSS program. The research subject consists of two classes, which are 38 students of the control class and 40 students of the experimental class. Both classes are given different treatments. OBL methods are applied at the control and experimental classes, but only the experimental class that uses students’ worksheets. The research result is that two homogeneous classes using the pretest result show the sig value 0.681>0.05 so that the average difference of both classes is not significant. The result of inferential statistics and independent sample t-test on the post-test result shows that the sig (2-tailed) value is 0.007 (p. 0.05) so that it is significant. The conclusion is that there is a significant effect from the implementation of OBL in increasing student’s creative and innovative thinking skills in solving the H-irregularity problem.
