Creative thinking (CT) is pertinent to academic achievement in mathematics, and it is influenced by a variety of factors. The combined effect of parental education, ethnic identity, attitude toward mathematics (ATM), and creative style on mathematical creative thinking (MCT) of students within the ethnomathematics domain remains a research gap. This cross-sectional study explored this relationship using an MCT-ethnomathematics based test and questionnaire among 896 secondary students randomly selected from five private and public schools. Participants’ mean age was 13.34 + 1.08 years and over half (53.7%) were males. Students with strong cognitive shift skills and higher intelligence scores showed greater creativity in generating original ideas and unique solutions. A positive ATM was associated with higher fluency, flexibility, and originality in CT, and a strong ethnic identity was associated with greater flexibility. Although creative style and parental education had a negative correlation with creativity overall, there was a positive correlation by grade levels. ATM as a mediator to influence parents’ education and creativity separately in grade. The significance of ATM, ethnic identity, and creative style in fostering MCT among students is underscored by the importance of parental participation and support in enhancing creativity in mathematics education. El pensamiento creativo desempeña un papel crucial en el éxito académico en matemáticas, influenciado por diversos factores. Sin embargo, el impacto combinado de la educación de los padres, la identidad étnica, la actitud hacia las matemáticas y el estilo creativo en el pensamiento creativo matemático en el contexto de la etnomatemáticano ha sido examinado de manera exhaustiva. En este estudio transversal, exploramos estas relaciones entre 896 estudiantes de secundaria seleccionados al azar de cinco escuelas públicas y privadas que completaron una prueba basada en etnomatemática de pensamiento creativo matemático (MCT) y cuestionarios. Los participantes tenían una edad promedio de 13.34 + 1.08 años, y más de la mitad eran hombres (53.7%). Los resultados mostraron que una actitud positiva hacia las matemáticas se relacionaba con niveles más altos de fluidez, flexibilidad y originalidad en el pensamiento creativo, mientras que una sólida identidad étnica se asociaba con una mayor flexibilidad. Aunque el estilo creativo y la educación de los padres tenían una correlación negativa con la creatividad en general, esta relación se volvía positiva al examinarla en diferentes niveles de grado. Curiosamente, la actitud hacia las matemáticas actuaba como mediadora, influyendo en el impacto de la formación educativa de los padres en la creatividad de los estudiantes. Este estudio contribuye a nuestra comprensión de la naturaleza multifacetica del pensamiento creativo matemático, ofreciendo conocimientos para mejorar la educación matemática en la era digital al reconocer la importancia del apoyo parental, la identidad étnica y las actitudes para fomentar la creatividad.

“…This process happens because of learners' interest and volition to keep trying until they get a satisfied and accountable result, which refers to intrinsic motivation. However, Amabile (1998, in Rui and Yuan) [22] claim intrinsic motivation is central component of individuals that influence their creativity. It depends on variables and impacts of intrinsic motivation on learners' creativity is mediated by alternative cognitive.…”

This paper aims at answering on how intrinsic motivation has affected the second language learners and on why this intrinsic motivation has influenced the acquisition and the competence toward the language mastery. By applying a descriptive qualitative approach taken from 10 interviews to the third semester students of English Department of Islamic State University Salatiga, this paper also uses library research from papers to be analyzed and organized to set the conclusion. From the result, it is concluded that intrinsic motivation is the most dominant factor for the students to study foreign language, here English. Therefore, this motivation seems complicated when both the lecturer and the supporting environment were absence. Later, this motivation contributes to the competence owned by the students which is supported by the awareness to be more engaged and active in the language learning and acquisition process.

“…(Revilla et al, 2021) stated that creative students have the potential to make a positive contribution to society through innovation in various fields such as technology, art, science, and humanities. Therefore, creativity needs to be honed and developed from an early age, including in college, so that students are ready to become agents of change in the future Chang, 2022;Rahman et al, 2023;Ichsan et al, 2023;Subali &;Susilo, 2022). One way to develop student creativity is to encourage students to innovate in learning (Prahani et al, 2021;Maulidia &;Abidin, 2020).…”
