- This study aims to examine the effect of the mathematical modelling method on students’ creative thinking levels. In line with this purpose, the research group was divided into two groups, namely the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group was given courses with the use of the mathematical modelling method for a semester, whereas the control group was given courses with the use of the traditional instruction method. The study group of the research was composed of 75 third-year students who were studying at the Department of Elementary Mathematics Teaching in the 2010/2011 academic year. A quasi-experimental method was used in the study. The data of the study was obtained using a creative thinking scale. Descriptive statistics and t-test were utilised in analysing the data. At the end of the study, it was determined that the instruction method which was applied in the experimental group had a positive effect on creative thinking levels. It is believed that it will be useful to take the mathematical modelling method into account in teaching suitable concepts in educational institutions in view of its positive effect on students’ creative thinking levels.
