| 总结: | Chemistry is a subject that contains a lot of abstract, complex and difficult
understanding the concepts. Teachers prefer the easy and traditional method in
teaching cause students memorize the facts without truly understanding. The
purpose of this research is to examine effectiveness of Creative Chemistry Learning
Courseware (CCLC) with ICT aid to improve creativity of students in learning Mole
topic, form Four Chemistry. The quasi-experiments design with pretest, posttest
nonequivalent group design is chosen in research. Control group (n=258) is using
traditional method while experimental group (n=262) is using CCLC which utilizing
ICT functions. Creativity of students is measured by using TTCT tests and
achievement of students is measured by Chemistry tests. Data analyzed by
dependent t-test, independent t-test and Pearson Correlation. Data analysis shows
both group allocated in medium creativity level however the experimental group
scores higher creativity mean score in posttest TTCT. The effectiveness of CCLC
convinced as there is significant different in the gain of creativity scores between two
groups (t (258) = -7.855, p = 0.00). After exposed to CCLC software, students can
understand the abstract concepts in Mole topic with think creatively hence increase
their level of creativity. When students apply knowledge and creative thinking ability
into Chemistry test more effectively, thus there is significant Improvement in their
performance in posttest compare to pretest. Therefore, there is significant
relationship between creativity and academic achievement with Pearson correlation
value r (262)= 0.713, d< 0.01. When the level of creativity increased, the
achievement of students will be increased. Overall, students able to think more
creatively after utilizing CCLC software with ICT aids and thus increase their
achievement in Chemistry test. |
