| Abstract | This study is quasi-experimental research design. The aims of this research were to develop science learning activities in accordance with the STEAM education approach, and to study the effect of promoting creative thinking skills and student satisfaction after they were intervened with this developed STEAM activity. The sample was a cohort of 5th primary school students which was selected by random sampling. The experimental group consisted of 30 students, whereas the control group consisted of 28 students. A science lesson plan according to the STEAM education approach in the topic of "Let's Design Your Zoo", which consists of a 6-step learning activity developed by combining concepts of engineering design process with the signature pedagogies of art and design for a total duration of 6 hours (3 weeks). The creative thinking skills assessment form and the student's satisfaction questionnaire were used as research instruments. The results showed that the designed STEAM lesson plan was evaluated as very good level. The results of the intervention of this learning activity revealed that the students in the experimental cohort had higher average scores on creative thinking skills than the control group in all aspects. Sixty percent of the experimental group have very good creative thinking skills. While the majority of the control group (53%) achieved only a fair level and no one reached a very good level. The students of the experimental group also expressed their very satisfaction with this learning activity. |
