The Way

This study was designed to determine on which of 18 creativity factors a group of 60 intellectually bright students in regular fifth grade classes would differ from a group of intellectually normal Ss (matched on sex, race, socio-economic position, school, and classroom setting) when variables of possible influence were either not controlled or were covaried in different ways. Eight Guilford-type tests were used to assess factors of creativity. Without statistical control, the gifted exceeded significantly the normals on 8 of 14 verbal factors but on none of the non-verbal dimensions. When different variables were controlled singly and in combination, significant differences appeared on the dependent variables. Separate correlations for gifted and normal Ss indicated differences in the way intelligence and achievement related to creativity factors for the groups.

Significant Difference

This study aims at investigating the effect of Blended Learning approach compared to the traditional learning approach on fifth grade students’ achievement in My Beautiful Language Textbook and the development of their verbal creative thinking. The study consisted of 49 students among which 25 are males in the Experimental Group and 24 females in the Control Group. The study found a statistical significant difference (α ≤ 0.05) between the mean scores of the two study groups in achievement posttest and verbal creative thinking post application test. The experiment group which was taught using the blended approach of learning outperformed the Control Group in both tests. Thus, learning My Beautiful Language Textbook using the blended approach is more effective than the traditional method in terms of achievement and the development of verbal creative thinking skills. In light of this, the study recommends the adoption of blended approach in learning My Beautiful Language Textbook, the curriculum computerization, holding series of training courses, and workshops for teachers in school districts on how to effectively implement the blended approach.

Module Development

Technology and education are now required for the development of 21st century skills. The purpose of this study was to determine 1) the practicality of STEAM-based e-Modules in online learning, 2) the importance of STEAM-based e-Modules in online learning, and 3) the improvement of students' creative thinking skills in fifth grade on the content "My Blood Circulation is Healthy." A total of 16 students were employed in the study. Questionnaires and tests were utilized as data gathering instruments. Problem and need analysis, literature review, product design, validation, and practitioner testing were the stages of development. The findings revealed that pupils' low creative thinking abilities were attributed to teachers' failure to adequately embrace technology and their continued usage of traditional instructional materials. The STEAM-based e-Module development improved creative thinking skills of Grade 5 students.
