Abstract: Elementary School Studens' Creative Thinking Skills in Science Learning. This study aims (1) to investigate the differences of creative thinking skills among elementary school students who applied various learning methods (questioning, Think-Pair-Share, and Numbered-Head together) and those who applied conventional learning methods; (2) to find out the differences in creative thinking skills between students of high and low academic ability; (3) to investigate the differences of creative thinking skills as influ­enced by learning methods and academic ability. Using a quasi -experimental design, this study found out that there are differences in creative thinking skills among students applying different learning methods and among students of different academic abilities and that these differences in creative thinking are skills as influenced by learning methods and academic abilities.
