Learning Management with STEM Education Approach on Learning Achievement and Science Creative Thinking of Ninth Grade Students.

The purposes of this research were to compare learning achievement and science creative thinking before and after learning, and to compare learning achievement after learning with criterion of 70 percent using STEM education approach. The participants were 28 ninth grade students from Piboonbumpen Demonstration School, Burapha University, who studied in the first semester of academic year 2018. They were selected by cluster random sampling. The research instruments were 1) lesson plans 2) learning achievement test and 3) science creative thinking test. The collected data were analyzed by arithmetic mean, percentage, standard deviation, and t-test. The research findings were as follows 1) The post-test scores of science learning achievement of the ninth grade students after learning with STEM education were higher than those before learning at the .05 significant level. 2) The post-test scores of science learning achievement of the ninth grade students after learning with STEM education were higher than 70 % set criterion at the .05 significant level. 3) The science creative thinking of the ninth grade students after learning with STEM education were higher than those before learning at the .05 significant level.
