Abstract

This research is motivated by the lack of ability to think creatively Mathematically junior secondary students. This research aims to determine differences in achievement and increase the ability of creative thinking and independent learning as well as the association between mathematics student who obtained the usual scientific approach to obtaining scientific approach based etnomatematika. This research method is experimental design with pretest posttest control group design in this study population eighth grade students in one of the Junior High School in Bandung, the sample was taken two classes of ninth grade there.
