Description
Summary:This case study was conducted qualitatively to explore and understand the processthrough Science Creative Teaching Design (SCTD) implementation. Seven informantsincluding two Science teachers and five form two students from selected boardingschool were involved in this research. Data were collected through in-depth semistructuredinterviews, observations, document analysis and field notes. The data werefurther analyzed through coding, categorizing and sub- themes to develop the mainthemes. This research found that, SCTD tool was feasible for Science teachers,improves both teachers and students emotions against stressful and less innovativeteaching and learning. Informants have practiced almost all suggested creativestrategies, hence, demonstrated creative teaching and learning and active teaching.Thinking culture was found amongst students and teachers as they attained creativethinking characteristics such as cognitive flexibility, originality thinking, fluencythinking, elaboration thinking, evaluating own works and making decision. Thestudents displayed higher order thinking skills such as analyzing, evaluating andcreating and found to develop skill sets such as communication skills, self-confidenceand team work skills. Thus, a novel framework of SCTD is successfully designed toenhance teaching and learning in Science. In conclusion, this research promotes a betterunderstanding and exploration on creative teaching and learning through a systematicguide on design thinking and creative skills. This implies that, Science teachers mayuse SCTD tool to produce a high impact and interesting teaching and learning for thestudents.
