STEM-based learning innovations have been massively developed especially related to 21st Century skills. This study was done to explore a relationship between creative thinking and science achievement through the implementation of integrated STEM-based module on Reproduction topic. A quasi-experimental study involved pretest-posttest non-equivalent group design with sample of 60 eighth graders from a boarding school in Baling, Kedah, Malaysia. The samples was divided into two groups - 30 students of treatment group and 30 students of control group. The data were collected from pre-post-Reproduction Test Questions (RTQ) scores and pre-post-Creative Thinking Test Questions (CTTQ) scores. Pearson Correlation and one-way ANOVA at a significance level p < .05 were performed in analysing data. Findings reveal no statistically significant relationship between creative thinking and science achievement for both treatment group (r = .220, p = .243) and control group (r = .308, p = .098). Besides, there is a statistically significant and moderate and positive relationship between creative thinking indicator of fluency and science achievement (r = .463, p = .010) of the treatment group. In conclusion, general finding is an evidence that between creative thinking and science achievement shows a consistency in whatever teaching strategy implemented. In which, educators need to realize that academic achievement does not necessarily be a necessity in shaping one’s creativity. Therefore, further study is needed to investigate the relationship between these variables in the execution of STEM teaching and learning so that the findings can be generalized to a larger population.

This research is intended to evaluate the use of the infusing thinking skills technique in teaching Form Four Physics in the topic of heat through the students’ achievements in the Critical Heat Test. The research involves the types of thinking skills, which are the parts-whole relationships, comparing and contrasting, and conceptualization. Teachers need to choose the most suitable type of thinking skills for the topic that will be taught in order to attain the learning outcome required. Additionally the infusing thinking skills technique, along with thinking skills, also contain the training of mind of habits in the behavior of students and metacognition whereby students will reflect on the thinking skills process during the teaching and learning activity. The use of thinking maps according to the type of thinking as mentioned, can help students think in step by step sequence. The methodology of the study is quasi-experimental and shows the disproportionate test design of the pre- and post-test groups. Research samples are purposive sampling, containing 30 people for each treatment group and control group. Two schools in Kinta Utara were involved in this study. Results show that there are significant differences in test-t, that is the score increment (critical heat posttest score-pretest score) of the treatment group as compared to the control group. It is found that the infusing thinking skills technique is suitable to enhance thinking skills and the students understanding of the heat topic. This technique is an alternative for teachers to apply various types of thinking skills required in Physics to train thinking skills to the students. Through conceptualization skills, students will be able to find Physics concepts from what they already know and from their daily experiences by using conceptual maps.
