Abstract

This research aimed to develop creativity of students in Grade 7 who were provided with learning management based on Guilford’s Structure of Intellect Theory through 4 learning management plans for a period of 12 hours. The samples were 6 students in Grade 7 in the second semester of Academic Year 2020 who were selected by purposive sampling, studying at Thairath Wittaya School, 101 Chalermprakiat, Si Somdet District, Roi Et Province. This research was an action research. The instruments were as follows: 1) 4 learning management plans for a period of 12 hours with the content validity of 3.77; 2) a creativity test of 8 items with 4 activities with an IOC of 0.81; and 3) an individual behavior observation form of 20 items on a 5-point Likert scale with IOC of 0.78. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including percentage, means, and standard deviation.
The findings showed that in the first operating cycle, 3 students, accounting for 50 percent, achieved creativity scores passing the criteria at 70 percent. In addition, in the second operating cycle that was derived from the first operating cycle, it was found that another 3 students passed the criteria at 70 percent. Thus, based on both operating cycles, the findings indicated that 6 students, constituting 100 percent, passed the criteria.
