Results of Learning Experiences Emphasizing on Engineering Design Towards Science Process Skills and Creativity Skills of Pre-School Children

Abstract

The objectives of this study were to : 1) study science process skills and creativity skills in preschool children after learning experiences emphasizing engineering design; and 2) compare science process skills and creativity skills in pre-school children between learning experiences with engineering design and learning experiences with normal method sample consisted of number students in kindergarten 3 (Anuban 3), semester 1, academic year 2019 in Bannongtayod school and Bannamai school, by multistage sampling. The research instrument was lesson plan of learning experiences that emphasize on engineering design, lesson plan of learning experiences in the manual of learning management in early childhood 2017, behavioral assessment towards science process skills in early childhood and creativity assessment. This research was quasi experimental research with pretest and posttest. The statistic used for the analysis was t-test at the statistical significant level of .05    

The result showed that: 1) the early childhood who gained learning experiences with engineering design has science process skills and creativity skills more than pretest at the statistical significant level of .05; and 2) the early childhood who gained learning experiences with engineering design has science process skills and creativity skills more than learning experiences in the manual of learning management in early childhood at the statistical significant level of .05.
