The Impact of the Wallas Model on Mathematical Problem-Solving and Creative Thinking among Ninth Grade Basic Education Students in Jordan

This study aimed to identify the impact of the Wallas Model on mathematical problem-solving and creative thinking among ninth-grade basic education students in Jordan. The study followed an experimental methodology with a quasi-experimental design by applying the (Mathematical Creative Thinking Test and Mathematical Problem-Solving Test) on a sample of (64) female students divided into two groups: the first was the control group consisting of (33) students, and the second was the experimental group consisting of (31) students. The results showed statistically significant differences between the means of the experimental group and the control group on the mathematical problem-solving test in favor of the experimental group, as well as statistically significant differences between the means of the experimental group and the control group on the creative mathematical thinking test in favor of the experimental group. The study recommended incorporating the Wallas Model into the mathematics curriculum for the seventh grade, with an emphasis on practical applications that help students improve their skills in mathematical problem-solving and creative mathematical thinking.
