Abstract

The objectives of this study aims to develop scientific creativity thinking and learning achievement of Matthayomsuksa 4 students through inquiry-based learning with STEM education. The target group in this study consisted of 21 Mattayomsuksa 4/2 students attending in Chiangyuen Pittayakom School. Research instruments were lesson plans, a sciencetific creativity thinking test, an achievement test and an interview. The data were analyzed by percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The results of research found that 1) The first cycle process found that mean of the scientific creativity thinking of students were 7 students can pass 70 percentage. 2) The second cycle process 13 students can pass 70 percentage. The first cycle process found that mean of the learning achievement of students were 5 students can pass 70 percentage. The second cycle process 9 students can pass 70 percentage.
