Abstract
This study aims to test the use of a causalitic-learning model to encourage problemsolving and creative thinking skills. This study used a non-equivalent control group design. The population was students of class X Mathematics and Natural Sciences (MNS), Public Senior High School (PSHS) 3, the academic year 2018/2019, Mataram, Indonesia. Samples were taken using the purposive sampling technique and obtained by X-MNS-4 class students (33 students, 13 male, 20 female) as the experimental class and X-MNS-5 class students (28 students, 12 male, 16 female) as the control class. The data were taken using essay test questions and analysed using the MANOVA test but previously carried out the Lavene test and the Box’s M test (with the help of the SPSS version 23 application). The results of statistical analysis, with a significance level of 0.05, the null hypothesis on both research hypotheses were rejected. The conclusion is that the implementation of the causalitic-model in physics learning on the subject of momentum and impulse affects the improvement of students’ problem-solving and creative thinking abilities. Insights on innovation through technology integration, multi-answer phenomenon-based learning to promote creative thinking is also discussed. The implication is important for physics learning which emphasises conceptual understanding.
