As stated by Hu and Adey 2002 scientific creativity can be described as a condition where students are able to imagine the combination of novel knowledge
and technique in solving scientific problem. This condition can be happened when students can combine their existing knowledge with their scientific imagination e.g.
Using several routes to solve scientific problem. Hence, as stated by Hu and Adey 2002 This is the justification for considering scientific creativity as worthy of
attention in the education of students who will either become scientists or who need an understanding of the way that scientists work as part of their general
understanding of society. Beside of the probability of the existence of the scientific creativity as the result
of interaction and discussion among students, Number-Heads Together also can give an impact on the improvement of students’ mastery concept. As stated by Lago and
Nawang 2007 “The findings of the study advance the conclusion that cooperative
learning method using the Number-Heads-Together significantly increased the achievement of the students.”
Based on the background that have been stated before then researcher would like to entitled the research by
“Learning Global Warming through Numbered Heads Together NHT: An Endeavour to Improve Students Scientific Creativity and
Mastery Concept ”
B. Research Problems
Based on the background that have stated before the research problem in this research is “How does the impact of Numbered Heads Together toward students’
scientific creativity and students’ mastery concept in learning global warming?”
Elaborating from this problem researcher attempts this following research questions: 1.
How does Numbered Heads Together Impact to Students’ Scientific Creativity Improvement?
2. How does Numbered Heads Together Impact to Students’ mastery concept
improvement in Learning Global Warming?

3. How do the students’ response toward the Numbered Heads Together
Implementation?
C. Scope of The Research
Based on the research questions above, researcher only limited the research in this certain area:
1. Students’ scientific creativity of secondary that will be examined based on Hu
and Addey 2002 Scientific Creativity Test for Secondary School are; Unusual use of Object; Sensitivity to science problem; Improvement of Technical
product; and Science Problem Solving ability. 2.
Students’ mastery concept will be determined using revised Bloom Taxonomy on understanding C2, applying C3 and analyzing C4
D. Aim of Research
1. To Figure out the impact of Numbered Heads Together towards students’
scientific creativity in learning global warming. 2.
To figure out the impact of Numbered Heads Together towards students’ mastery concept in cognitive domain
3. To figure out students’ response toward Numbered Heads Together
implementation in learning process.
E. Research Benefits
1. For Researchers
As a prove of the theory of numbered heads that can increase students’ mastery concept as the result of the discussion and also possibility of the improvement of
students scientific creativity due to the result of earning new knowledgefrom
another group member.
2. For Teachers
As an alternative reference to implement the numbered heads together which can help the teacher make learning meet the objective accordingly.

3. For Students
As an alternative solution to have discussion learning so that there will be a chance among students to be able to share their knowledge and help each other
beside of expanding it. 4.
For Other Researchers As the data comparison or reference for the possibility of having the similar
research with different subjects or area of research.
