Abstract

Creative thinking skills are very important for students, creative thinking in mathematics, can increase understanding of mathematics itself, and the relationship of other concepts in mathematics. Mathematical creative thinking habits can be trained. Quantum teaching hypnoteaching (QTH) is a learning model that can maximize student potential and increase student motivation in learning.
This research is an experimental study with a pretest-posttest design, taken 60 students of the 7th-semester Elementary School Teacher Education program, which is divided into two classes, one class with the QTH model and one ordinary class, the instrument used is a mathematical creative thinking ability test, the instrument is stated has met the requirements of content validity, as well as a reliability coefficient of 0.829. Data analysis was done by t-test.
The QTH model was significantly better in improving mathematical creative thinking skills compared to students with ordinary classes, based on the responses shown through the tests given, students taught with QTH showed activity and better performance than students taught through ordinary classes.
