The relationship between self regulated learning and mathematical creative thinking ability

Abstract

Abstract This study aimed to analyze the relationship between students’ Self Regulated Learning (SRL) and Mathematical Creative Thinking Ability (MCTA). A quasi experimental was applied in this research. The sample consisted of 173 eighth grade students taken from high and medium level schools in Indramayu, West Java province, Indonesia. The sample was divided into three groups with three different learning models. One group used the 5E Learning Cycle model with metacognitive techniques (LCM), and the other two groups each used the 5E Learning Cycle (LC) and Conventional Learning (CL) models. The data were collected through test of MCTA and SRL scale. The results of the study concluded that there is a significant positive correlation between SRL and MCTA. There is a strong correlation between students’ SRL and MCTA in group with the LCM model, meanwhile in groups, with LC and CL model the correlation in the medium level.
