The experimental classes were taught by creative learning strategy assisted by Instagram and the control classes were taught by problem-based learning. The results explain that learning outcomes of students learnt by creative learning assisted by Instagram are higher than students learnt by problem-based learning. The formulated hypotheses were accepted since it resulted a significant mean between the experimental classes and the control classes.
