The development of the revolution era 4.0 which increasingly rapidly demands the wider community to have the ability to think creatively mathematically. One effort to improve the ability to think creatively is through quality education. Quality education can be improved through to train thinking using the right learning model. This study aims to see which results are more effective in improving students' thinking skills between the two learning models applied. The two models are Problem Based Learning (PBL) and Aptitude Treatment Interaction (ATI) models. This research method uses quasi experimental method with a posttest only control test design not control group. This study uses two group subjects with two experimental classes. The analysis of the data used the hypothesis testing of the non-correlated 2-sample t-test. Based on the research results obtained Aptitude Treatment Interaction (ATI) models have a better effect on students' creative thinking abilities compared to Problem Based Learning (PBL) models.

a b s t r a c tChitosan is a linear copolymer composed of (1 / 4)elinked 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-b-D-glucan (GlcNAc) and 2-amino-2-deoxy-b-D-glucan (GlcN) units in varying proportions, having a high molecular weight and strong intra-and intermolecular hydrogen bondings. Sonication has become an alternative for degrading chitosan into low-molecular-weight chitosan (LMWC), chitosan oligomers and glucosamine. In this study, chitosan was treated with sonication at 40 C and 60 C for 30 min and 120 min with various acetic acid concentrations (0.2% v/ve1% v/v); the very-low-concentration acid solution functioned both as a solvent and catalyst. After sonication, the samples were tested for changes in molecular weight, water soluble proportion of chitosan (chitosan oligomers and glucosamine), degree of deacetylation, degree of crystallinity, and morphology. The soluble and insoluble product yields at low concentration (0.5% v/v) at 40 and 60 C were 33.66e39.37 % and 32.43e34.26%, respectively. The main product was 5-hydroxy methyl furfural with composition 92.16e99.43%. At high concentrations (1% v/v), the soluble product and insoluble yields were 43.72e49.74% and 43.1e50.26%, respectively. The main product was glucosamine with composition 77.75e93.16% of glucosamine. There were changes in the morphology and crystallinity of the degraded chitosan, but no change in the chemical structure. The crystallinity had a tendency to increase. The degree of deacetylation tended to decrease due to the glucosamine breakage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
