Abstract

Educated people have the power of thought, reason and intelligence which support them to overcome the problems they face in everyday live. One way to develop these powers is to develop a creative thinking on mathematics. This study investigated the effect of the implementation of Curriculum 13 (K13) on madrasahs students’ creative mathematical thinking. This study employed descriptive quantitative approach. Participants included 107 students from 5 public madrasah aliyah (Islamic senior high school and 173 students from 5 public madrasah tsanawiyah (Islamic junior high school) in the province of Jakarta. Data were gathered using creative mathematical thinking assessments. 5 items on the test measured students’ creative thinking (self-efficacy, fluency, flexibility, originality and elaboration skills). The results showed that the madrasah students’ creative mathematical thinking was very low with the average score of 23.14 for madrasah Aliyah students and 15.69 for Madrasah Tsanawiyah students.
