Research on the Construction and Application of the Creative Thinking Evaluation Index System in STEM Classrooms
The interdisciplinary,inquiry-based,and collaborative nature of STEM education provides a good environment and foundation for creative thinking development,yet the current challenges of assessing students'creative thinking in STEM classrooms have not been effectively addressed.Based on the existing theoretical basis of the deconstruction of the connotation elements of creative thinking and the PISA 2021 creative thinking evaluation model,this paper constructed the evaluation index framework of creative think-ing in STEM classrooms.After consulting some experts and scholars,the research revised and formed the evaluation indicator system of creative thinking in STEM classroom,which consisted of five first level indicators including"idea generation""implementation explo-ration""iterative optimization""analysis and evaluation""collaborative communication",20 second-level indicators.To ensure the scien-tificity of indicator system evaluation,hierarchical analysis was used to determine the weights of each indicator.The evaluation indica-tor system was applied to teaching practice to reflect on the effect and make suggestions.This study provided an important support and decision basis for constructing a scientific evaluation index system and effectively assessing the creative thinking of STEM students.
