Abstract. The research aim was to develop creativity of grade 5 students through STEM
education in electricity. There were 15 students of Grade 5 in Khon Kaen Province in
2020 participated in this study. The action research was implemented to this study with
three loops of action research to improve creativity of students. The physics contents
consisted of simple circuit, conductor, insulator, switch, connecting battery in a series
circuit and a parallel circuit, series and parallel circuit and the motor connection. The
fifteen lessons were separated into three loops of actions. Each loop of lessons consisted
of three Predict-Observe-Explain (POE) lessons, and a lesson which is an Engineering
design process lesson for designing product to improve student’s creativity in
electricity. The students were fluent in designing various tasks to solve problems arising
from a given classroom situation and had flexibility and elaboration in given reasons in
selecting the materials to create the works. At the last lesson of the each action loops
the data was collected to show how students improved their creativity. The student’s
work and their presentation were evaluated by the creativity’s rubric scores in four
dimensions of Originality, Fluency, Flexibility and Elaboration. The results show that
student’s creativity were improve by STEM education in electricity. All dimension of
creativity which are originality, fluency, flexibility and elaboration were improved from
loop 1 to loop 3 of action research. |
