The Role of Blended Learning in Improving Students’ Numerical Ability and Learning Creativity
Abstract
Research exploring the potential benefits of blended learning in enhancing numeracy and creativity is imperative. This study aims to evaluate the impacts of the blended learning approach on both numerical proficiency and creative learning of students. Using the quasi-experimental model, the investigation involved 60 secondary students during the spring semester, divided into experimental and control groups. Data collection used questionnaires and tests, with analysis performed using SPSS 29 and Winstep software. The findings reveal a significant influence of the blended learning model on numerical ability, even when considering the creative learning of the students. Additionally, creative learning by students significantly affects numerical ability. These results underscore the importance of implementing blended learning in high schools, as it fosters the development of both numerical skills and creativity.
