Scratch, a kind of visual programming software, has been widely used in instruction for primary school children. Scratch constructs a digital world for children to design, develop, and create coursework in which their creative thinking is fostered. Different instructional methods have been designed and implemented to stimulate children’s creative thinking skills through their coursework. This study investigated whether scaffolding construction with mind mapping promoted children’s creative thinking in a Scratch course. Two groups of 84 fifth-grade pupils participated in the study. The experimental group of 44 students adopted the scaffolding construction with mind mapping in the Scratch course, while the control group of 40 students did not use the mind mapping method. The Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking-Figural (TTCT-F) and Torrance Creative Personality Self-Report Scale were used three times over the 16-week learning period. The results show that learning in the Scratch course promoted the children’s creative thinking. The difference between the two groups indicates that mind mapping was beneficial to improve the children’s creative thinking.

This study aims to examine and describe the effect of contextual learning assisted by Geogebra on creative thinking skills, increased creative thinking skills, students' self-concept towards mathematics and the relationship between creative thinking and self-concept. The research design was an experimental group with a pretest and posttest control group. The experimental group received geogebra-assisted contextual learning and the control group received conventional learning. To obtain research data, instruments used in the form of tests of creative thinking skills and students' self-concept attitude scale. The output in this research is in the form of learning tools (lesson plans and worksheets) that use geogebra-assisted contextual learning, instruments for tests of creative thinking abilities and students' self-concept scales. Quantitative analysis was carried out on normalized post-test and gain data on creative thinking skills and self-concept data between the two sample groups using the mean difference test of the two populations. The instrument used was 12 questions about creative thinking skills and 31 statements about self-concept. To find the difference in the average used t-test and use the Pearson test to find the correlation coefficient. The results showed that the creative thinking skills of students who received geogebra-assisted contextual learning were better than students who received conventional learning. The results of the self-concept scale indicate that the self-concept of students who receive geogebra-assisted contextual learning is better than the self-concept of students who receive conventional learning. The results of the self-concept scale also show that self-concept affects students' creative thinking abilities either totally or based on student groups, namely the experimental group and the control group.
