The Integration of the Self-Concept-Based Upanisad Learning Model in Blended Learning and its Impact on Character Development and Creative Thinking Skills

Abstract

The aim of this research is to investigate the impact of a self-concept-based Upanisad learning model integrated in mixed learning on the building of character and creative thinking skills. This study adopted a quasi-experimental design with a posttest-only control design. The population of the study consisted of 90 students. A random sampling technique was used to take the samples which consist of 60 students. Tests and questionnaires were used as data collection methods. The test instruments used were a description test with 10 items and a questionnaire with a total of 30 items. The analysis technique employs MANOVA in SPSS. The results showed that learning with the self-concept based Upanisad learning model simultaneously or partially impacts character and creative thinking skills. The results show that students who are taught using the self-concept based Upanisad learning model gain mean scores in character and creative thinking skills. Moreover, other results show that learning with the self-concept based Upanisad learning model is more influential on students' character than their ability to think creatively. Based on these conclusions, the researcher recommended that a self-concept-based Upanishad learning model be able to be used as an innovative learning model for improving character and creative thinking skills.

Effectiveness of IoT Integrated Problem Based Learning Model on Students Creative Thinking Skills Abilities

“…In learning activities, teachers still use conventional learning models so that students find it difficult to understand the subject matter Utomo et al, 2023;Elfira et al, 2023). Teachers do not direct learning that encourages students to have creative thinking skills (Suwendra, 2023;Luciana et al, 2023;Khoiri et al, 2023;Asmara et al, 2023). Furthermore, based on the results of PISA in 2018, Indonesian students' science literacy obtained a score of 397, ranking 71 out of 78 countries (Zulyusri et al, 2023;Oktarina et al, 2021;Razak et al, 2021).…”

Effectiveness of The Internet of Things (IoT)-Based Jigsaw Learning Model on Students' Creative Thinking Skills: A- Meta-Analysis

“…According to Zhu et al (2013) Creative thinking is an ability that a person has in producing a new idea. Creative thinking trains students in making a decision to solve a problem (Suwendra, 2023;Tabieh & Hamzeh, 2022;Suryandari et al, 2021). In addition, students who have creative thinking skills are able to see the world from various perspectives so that they can provide new ideas for solving a real problem (Fitriyah & Ramadani, 2021;Ichsan et al, 2023;Ernawati et al, 2022;Sur & Ateş, 2022).…”

Effectiveness of the Inquiry Based Learning Model Based on Mobile Learning on Students' Creative Thinking Skills: A Meta-Analysis

“…Creative thinking is a thought process that students must have to generate new ideas in solving a problem (Ernawati & Maniarta, 2022;Kartikasari et al, 2022;Tabieh & Hamzeh, 2022;Li, 2021). Creative thinking skills have a role for students in solving a problem in the learning process (Made et al, 2020;Suwendra, 2023). Students who have creative thinking skills are able to encourage student creativity in learning (Ndiung et al, 2021;Yustiana el al., 2022;Hasancebi, 2021).…”
