ABSTRACT


The objective of the study is to analyze the correlation between students’ self regulated learning, students’ prior knowledge of mathematics (PAM) and an increase of their creative thinking abilities in problem-based learning. The correlation presumably occurs because the problem-based learning has been assumed to influence the students’ self regulated learning so that it may influence the improvement of students’ creative thinking abilities. And so does PAM. The population of the study was Junior High School students in the Bandar Lampung with a sample size of 78 people from two schools representing high and medium schools rank. Based on the analysis, it was concluded that there was a strong correlation between students’ self regulated learning and PAM in one side and the increase of students’ creative thinking abilities on the other side.
