Abstract

The purposes of this research were: 1) to compare the creative thinking abilities of upper elementary students before and after engaging in STEM BCG-based activities for science education; 2) to compare the environmental awareness of upper elementary students before and after engaging in STEM BCG-based activities for science education; and 3) to examine the creative thinking abilities and environmental awareness demonstrated through students’ products after engaging in STEM BCG-based activities for science education. The sample group consisted of one class of upper elementary students from an extended school in Nachaluai District, Ubon Ratchathani Province, selected via simple random sampling. The research instruments included: 1) STEM BCG-based science education lesson plans, 2) creative thinking ability tests, 3) environmental awareness questionnaires, and 4) creative thinking and environmental awareness interview forms. The results of the study showed that: 1) the creative thinking ability score after engaging in STEM BCG-based activities was significantly higher at the 0.05 level; 2) the environmental awareness score after engaging in STEM BCG-based activities was also significantly higher at the 0.05 level; and 3) both creative thinking ability and environmental awareness were demonstrated through students’ products after engaging in STEM BCG-based activities. Students first generated multiple ideas, then selected a feasible idea, elaborated on the details, and created products under the specified conditions. They were also able to propose ideas for further developing their products.
