The purpose of this research is to demonstrate the importance of training programs in developing creative thinking skills among gifted disadvantaged children. This study compares two groups of fast learners exposed to varying lengths of training in creative activities. Group A received a total of 20 sessions while Group B had a total of 46 sessions. Training consisted of structured as well as unstructured activities designed to enhance the creative abilities of fluency, flexibility, originality and elaboration. Techniques employed ranged from brainstorming, figural/verbal/physical exercises to problem solving. A prepost test design was used to compare differences between the two groups. While mean scores showed positive changes occurring in both groups, results of t-test analysis revealed significant differences only between the pre and post scores of Group B on three out of four categories of creative thinking, namely: fluency, flexibility and originality.

Basic Competency

Existing learning has not fully facilitated 4C (critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity) skills and there are obstacles for students to encounter in studying biology, especially the material about plant tissue. It happens due to various limitations in achieving basic competency skills. One of the learning approaches that can be used to support 4C skills is the STEM approach which is supported by student worksheets (SW) to guide the learning process. The purpose of this study was to measure the effectiveness of STEM-based SW to train students' creative thinking skills. The research method used is descriptive quantitative and qualitative with one group pre-test and post-test design. The research subjects were 21 students of XI grades at SMAK St.Hendrikus. Data analysis of the N-Gain test of creative thinking skills obtained an average N-gain of 0.7 with a medium category. The N-Gain analysis of creative thinking skills using the T-Test with a sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 indicates that STEM-based worksheets are effective in training students' creative thinking skills.

This study represents the first phase of research being undertaken in the Philippines on gifted disadvantaged children. The subject of this paper focuses on the assessment tools and procedures employed for the screening and identification of intellectually able or “fast learners” among preschool Filipino children from disadvantaged urban communities. Preliminary screening involved nominations made by daycare teachers using checklists for giftedness. Parent ratings on giftedness were also obtained as a secondary data source for the final selection of fast learners. Children nominated by teachers were subjected to individual testing and evaluation. Results showed that over the two-year period of screening, three to four percent of the entire population of daycare children qualified as fast learners on the basis of teacher nominations and performance on two standardized tests of intelligence. Data also indicated that a greater percentage of children passed the Raven's Colored Progressive Matrices (RCPM) percentile ranking of 75 and above compared to the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) Short Form IQ of 110. Findings further suggest the potential usefulness of the RCPM as an identification tool for fast learners among this population of children.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the accounting creative thinking test on the learning outcomes of SMA Darussalam, to determine the sensitivity of the accounting creative thinking test to the learning outcomes of SMA Darussalam and to determine the students' responses to the accounting creative thinking test on the learning outcomes of SMA Darussalam. This research is a research on the development of Sugiono's modification through four stages, namely, test design, validation, limited trials and extensive trials. The instruments used in this study were creative thinking tests, validation sheets and student response questionnaires. The instrument was declared to have met the quality of the test. Testing the quality of the test for creative thinking in accounting by looking at the results of the validity, the distinguishing power of the questions, the difficulty level of the questions and the reliability of the questions. Based on the results of the calculation, it was found that the developed creative thinking test was less effective, because the average value of students' creative thinking skills had not yet reached a value of 60. The sensitivity of the creative thinking test was sensitive to student accounting learning outcomes with an average of 0.434. Student response to the creative thinking test developed was negative which was below 80%, which was 71.85%. So it can be concluded that the sensitivity of the accounting creative thinking test and the time it takes to complete the creative thinking test is effective and usable. However, in the creative thinking test category this is not effective because to answer the test requires a sufficiently deep skill, and this has not been mastered by the students.

Background Dysmenorrhea is defined as the cramping pain accompanying menstruation. It is further classified into two types based on pathophysiology write one line about the types Primary dysmennorhea is widely prevalent in the general population. More than 50% of teenagers and 30-50% of menstruating women suffer from varying symptoms, such as, uterine cramps, nausea,backache, diarrhoea, giddiness, syncope and fainting. (1). Apart from pharmacological treatment physical exercises have been suggested as non pharmacological treatment. It is seen that exercises have analgesic effect in a non specific way. Various forms of exercise (for.eg. Yoga and physiotherapy) have shown different results in pain relief and premenstrual syndrome. Exercise have been shown as preventive measures as well. K taping is considered as an adjunct to physiotherapy treatment. (1) OBJECTIVES: 1. To assess the effectiveness of yoga poses along with k-taping in primary dysmenorrhea. 2. To assess the effectiveness of physiotherapy exercises along with k-taping in primary dysmenorrhea. 3. To compare the effectiveness of yoga poses v/s physiotherapy exercises along with kinesio taping (KT) in primary dysmenorrhea MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY: This was a quasi experimental study that included 30 female participants who were suffering from dysmenorrhea. The subjects were randomly divided in to 2 groups; subjects in group A were given physiotherapy exercises and Kinesiotaping and group B were given yoga postures. These interventions were given on the first and second day of menstruation. RESULT AND CONCLUSION: The study concludes that both yogic postures and physiotherapy exercises helped in immediate reduction of symptoms in primary dysmennorhea.
