Abstract
This meta-analysis study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the application of constructivism-based learning models to the mathematical creative thinking abilities of secondary school students in Indonesia. This study analyzes 33 studies that have been published in national and international journals from 2010 to 2019. Data were analyzed using CMA (Compherensive Meta-Analysis) software designed to determine publication bias and effect size. As a result of the study, the overall effect size was 0.884 according to the random effects model indicating that the average person ranked 13th in the experimental group, equivalent to those ranked 6th in the control group. The study was conducted by considering the variables of the study year, the level of the study school conducted, sample size and class, resulting in significant differences. Thus the application of constructivism-based learning models is very effective in improving students mathematical creative thinking abilities in Indonesia.
