The Effectiveness of Star Strategy Learning on Gifted Students Mathematical Creative Thinking Ability

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate the mathematics creative thinking skills of gifted students in the International Private School before, during, and after receiving instruction using the STAR method. An analysis of behaviour analysis (ABA) was used as the study approach for the exploration of a certain subject. The sample of the study was selected from International private school in Al-Ain, UAE during the academic year 2020-2021. The investigation focused on two pupils who were both considered to have impressive levels of academic ability. An exercise in description was used as a component of the investigation. According to the findings of this research, subject G1 exhibited a higher ability for mathematically innovative thinking than subject G2 did in baseline condition 2 (A2), with subject G1 attaining 93.33 percent and subject G2 achieving 90 percent. Throughout the whole of this experiment, this was consistently the case for both of the individuals. Subject G1 had a higher percentage of creative thinking ability than subject G2 (83.3% vs. 81.5%), despite the fact that in baseline condition 1 (A1), both individuals creative thinking abilities were at their lowest possible level. Subject G1 had a score of 88.75% in the intervention condition, whereas subject G2 had a score of 86.25% in the intervention condition. This research came to the conclusion that the use of the STAR learning technique, which consists of the phases Search, Translate, Answer, and Review, is beneficial on mathematical creative thinking abilities as measured by Problem Sensitivity, Fluency, Flexibility, Originality, and elaboration
