The purposes of this research were to develop and determine the efficiency of a STEAM education model to enhance thinking skills of grade 5 students, and to compare thinking skills before and after learning with STEAM education model of grade 5 students. The sample of the study were 27 students of 5th grade at Srinakharinwirot University Prasarnmit Demonstration School (Elementary) in 2nd semester of 2019, which was obtained by cluster random sampling. The tools used were 7 STEAM education lesson plans for grade 5 students (10 periods) and 20 questions thinking skills test of grade 5 students. The research design was the one group pretest-posttest and the statistics used were efficacy determination E1/E2, mean (x̄), Standard Deviation, and t-test Dependent Sample. The research results found that, the STEAM Education model which was developed for grade 5 students’ efficacy of process value was 86.27 and efficacy of product was 81.30 which complied to the defined criteria of 80/80. After learning with STEAM education model, grade 5 students have higher thinking skills than that of before learning at the statistical significance level of .01
