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.

phenomenoncreative thinking and problem-solving ability in mathematics learning— “This study aims to determine the differences in the abilities of creative thinking and problem solving of mathematics in students who are taught by cooperative learning with the type of STAD and students who were taught with problem solving in class VII of Madrasah Tsanawiyah of Madinatussalam in Sei Rotan Learning Year 2015/2016.”
claim-typeexistence— “(4) There is a significant interaction between the learning model used with the ability to think creatively and the problem solving ability of mathematics in the students.”
method — evidence— “Therefore, this study is an experimental study with a quasi experiment design, because the class used has been formed before.”
mechanismCooperative group work makes students interact and exchange and inspect each other's ideas, which is what raises creative thinking— “This is in accordance with what was proposed by Slavin that cooperative learning encourages students to interact actively and positively in groups.”mechanisms[0]
mechanismIn STAD every problem is worked through in group discussion before the individual quiz, so students get repeated rehearsal at solving problems— “So all the problems to be solved are discussed in discussion to find the solution before each student undergoes the individual quiz.”mechanisms[1]
mechanismCreative thinking entails generating alternative solutions, so exercising it automatically exercises problem solving — which is why the two abilities interact with the learning model— “A person who has the ability to think creatively is not only able to solve problems that are non-routine, but also able to see various alternative problem solving.”mechanisms[2]
builds-on Slavin's account of cooperative learning— “This is in accordance with what was proposed by Slavin that cooperative learning encourages students to interact actively and positively in groups.”claim_relations[0]
builds-on Iin Septi Jannah Siregar's study of creative thinking and problem solving under problem-based vs conventional learning— “This is consistent with research conducted by Iin Septi Jannah Siregar.”claim_relations[1]
senseeffect of STAD cooperative learning - AS THE COMBINED RESULT: the two abilities taken together are reported as NO BETTER than the comparison method— “(1) The abilities to think creatively and problem solving of mathematics in students taught by cooperative learning of STAD type is no better than students who are taught with learning of problem solving in the subject matter of the circle.”senses[0]
senseeffect of STAD cooperative learning - AS THE COMPONENT RESULTS: creative thinking is reported as BETTER, and problem solving is reported as BETTER, against the same comparison— “(2) The ability of creative thinking in students who are taught by cooperative learning of STAD type is better than students who are taught with learning of problem solving in the subject matter of circle.”senses[1]
sensecreativity - identified with its PRODUCT: the paper states the main criterion in creativity is the product rather than the process— “With this understanding, it appears that the main criterion in creativity is the product.”senses[2]
sensecreativity - given three different definitions in a single paragraph, from three cited authors: the PRODUCT of good thinking, the ABILITY to create something new, and the capacity to see relationships among pre-existing elements— “As stated by Mardianto, creativity is the product of a good and right way of thinking [3]. While Munandar stated that creativity is a common ability to create something new, as the ability to provide new ideas that can be applied to problem solving, or as the ability to know the relationships between pre-existing elements”senses[3]
controleach student's quiz score compared against that student's own earlier average score — held — rules out between-student differences in ability - the comparison is within a pupil, so a rise is a rise relative to how that pupil was already performing— “The results of the quiz score of the students were compared with their own average score obtained earlier.”controls[0]

for which uselimitation — 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— “(1) The abilities to think creatively and problem solving of mathematics in students taught by cooperative learning of STAD type is no better than students who are taught with learning of problem solving in the subject matter of the circle. (2) The ability of creative thinking in students who are taught by cooperative learning of STAD type is…limitations[0]
for which uselimitation — 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— “The population in this study is all students of class VII which amounted to 60.”limitations[1]
replicationuntested
no type for thisthe abstract's claim that STAD is better for problem solving → the paper's own reported means for that comparison — A PAPER CONTRADICTING ITSELF, WHICH NO TYPE CAN EXPRESS. Every claim relations type points at ANOTHER work; there is no way to record that a paper's stated finding runs opposite to the numbers printed in its own results section. Filed here because the alternative is to record only one half and lose the fact that both are present.— “(3) Ability ofproblem solving of mathematics in students who are taught by cooperative learning of STAD type is better than students who are taught with learning of problem solving in the subject matter of the circle.”unhoused_relations[0]
limitationThe abstract reports the two abilities TOGETHER as no better than the comparison, and each ability SEPARATELY as better than the same comparison; the three statements do not compose and are not reconciled.— “(1) The abilities to think creatively and problem solving of mathematics in students taught by cooperative learning of STAD type is no better than students who are taught with learning of problem solving in the subject matter of the circle. (2) The ability of creative thinking in students who are taught by cooperative learning of STAD type is…limitations[0]
limitationThe whole population was used as the sample, so there is no sampling beyond the single class group studied.— “The population in this study is all students of class VII which amounted to 60.”limitations[1]
limitationTHE 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.— “the ability of problem solving of mathematics in students who were taught by Cooperative Learning of STAD Type in annex 13 and frequency distributions in annex 15 the following results are obtained: the counted average value…limitations[2]
limitationA 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.limitations[3]
limitationA second impossible standard deviation: variance 145.640 with SD 62.609, where the square root is 12.068.

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.
