Where this record's text came from. faceted 2026-08 by reading the locally held text (pdftext); every evidence string verified as an exact substring of that text before merging. limitations left empty deliberately: the paper contains a 'Suggestions' section (e.g. that further researchers could study other subject matter) but never states a limit on its own findings - no mention of sample size, single-school setting, or the internally inconsistent reported statistics (e.g. SD = 111.821 on a 0-100 scale). The reported results are also internally tense: hypothesis 1 is a null/negative finding ('no better than') while hypotheses 2 and 3 are positive, and the conclusion switches 'creative thinking' to 'critical thinking'; claim type 'existence' was chosen for the interaction claim, which is the paper's only unambiguous positive finding. The Siregar relation is tagged 'builds-on' rather than 'replicates' because the cited study used a different contrast (problem-based vs conventional learning), so agreement is thematic, not a replication. 2026-08-14, 2026-08-15 and 2026-08-25 schema-0.3 passes: every quote verified as an exact substring of the staged text and anchored at merge time; concept terms verified present; every edge endpoint an existing node.
How to read this page. The article itself is not reproduced here — this paper is not cleared for redistribution, so what follows is the tag layer alone. The evidence sentences are withheld with the article. The table at the foot lists every tag the record carries; each row names the facet it belongs to, and the whose words column says whether the tag records the paper's own wording or the tagger's sentence about the paper. Every tag links to each other paper in the corpus carrying it. The machine-readable edition of the same thing is the TEI file beside this one, where the tags live in standOff, and the article is at its publisher via the link below. When we have changed our mind. Some entries in the table begin with a word in capitals and the reason for it. EVIDENCE CORRECTED — the finding still stands, but we had quoted the wrong sentence from the paper, and the quotation has been replaced with the right one. RETRACTED — the entry itself was wrong; it stays on the page, marked, with the reason, rather than being deleted. WITHDRAWN AND REPLACED — the entry was wrong, and a corrected version of it appears in the entries below. Each mark carries its own reason, in brackets, because the reasons differ from one entry to the next. An entry we have WITHDRAWN is removed from this page and kept in the record, with its reason. A line reading Audit and a date is a later re-reading of the entry against its whole sentence: DOUBTFUL means it was kept, and the reason says what is loose about it. Quotation marks inside the tagger's sentence. Where a tag is the tagger's own sentence, a phrase in quotation marks inside it is borrowed from the paper — the tagger's wording around it is not. The paper's own sentence is the evidence quote for that row; on this page it is withheld with the article, and the article is at its publisher. Nothing inside quotation marks anywhere on this page is ours: if it is quoted, it is the paper's. Whose words a concept carries. A concept entry records a term the paper itself uses, so the term, the sense given for it, and its evidence are the paper's own words, quoted where the paper fixes them. This is the opposite of a sense entry in the tag table, which is the tagger's sentence about how the paper uses a term. Where a concept entry could not be grounded in the paper's words, the entry says so on its own row.

Tags on this paper

Every tag the record carries, each linking to every other paper in the corpus that carries it. A tag appears here whether or not its words occur in the article — the spans below are only the ones a sentence in this paper licenses. Of the 5 concept tags on this paper, all 5 are grounded in a quoted sentence.
creative thinking problem solving saturated sample creativity STAD Cooperative group work makes students interact and exchange and inspect each other's ideas, which is what raises creative thinking In STAD every problem is worked through in group discussion before the individual quiz, so students get repeated rehearsal at solving problems Creative thinking entails generating alternative solutions, so exercising it automatically exercises problem solving — which is why the two abilities interact with the learning model creative thinking in mathematics ability to solve problems of mathematics cooperative learning Student Team Achievement Division subject matter ability of creative thinking ability of problem solving two-way ANOVA two-way analysis of variance Tukey post-hoc test Tukey-test F-test Lilliefors normality test Lilliefors analysis Bartlett test of homogeneity of variance Bartlett test null hypothesis testing we tested the null hypothesis mean the counted average value (X) variance standard deviation Standard Deviation (SD) behavioural-experiment

The paper

The full text is not reproduced here. This article is not cleared for redistribution, so the page carries the tag layer only. Its evidence sentences are withheld; the grounding status remains with each tag, and the article itself is at its publisher. The reading view exists for the papers whose licence permits it.

Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above.
what this limits: citing this study for whether STAD cooperative learning outperforms problem-solving learning: the abstract's combined result says no better while both component results say better, and the paper does not state which reading holds

limitationsThe whole population was used as the sample, so there is no sampling beyond the single class group studied.
Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above.
what this limits: the generality of these results: the population is all 60 students of class VII at one school, and the analysis treats the data as coming from a saturated sample

limitationsTHE ABSTRACT'S THIRD FINDING IS CONTRADICTED BY THE PAPER'S OWN MEANS. It states that problem-solving ability is better under STAD than under problem-solving learning; the reported means are 51.467 for STAD and 62.800 for problem-solving learning, so STAD is 11.3 points WORSE on that measure. The direction of the claim is the opposite of the direction of the data, and both are in this paper.

limitationsA standard deviation that cannot come from its own variance: variance 136.585 is reported with SD 111.821, where the square root is 11.687. Four of the six cells are exact to three decimals, so the computation was right and this is a transcription error - but it is printed as a result.

A PAPER CONTRADICTING ITSELF, WHICH NO TYPE CAN EXPRESS.
