The The Development of Learning Achievement and Creative Thinking Using Creativity Based Learning (CBL) on Computing Science in Computational Thinking of Grade 8 Students

Abstract

          The objectives of this research were (1) to compare the learning achievement of grade 8 students before and after using creativity-based learning (CBL) on computing science in computational thinking; (2) to study the level of creative thinking of grade 8 students after using creativity-based learning (CBL) on computing science in computational thinking. The samples consisted of 30 students in grade 8. Cluster random sampling was used in the study. The research instruments were (1) lesson plans using creativity-based learning (CBL), (2) an achievement test, and (3) a creative thinking assessment form. The data analysis was as follows: (1) t-test for dependent samples; (2) mean score and standard deviation for a creative thinking assessment.

          The results revealed that (1) the post-test score of learning achievement using creativity-based learning (CBL) was significantly higher than pre-test score at .05 level of significance; (2) the level of creative thinking of grade 8 students after using creativity-based learning (CBL) was considered significantly high (𝑥̅ = 10.83 and S.D. = 0.5).
