Fatini Jisma Fakaruddin; Edy Hafizan Mohd Shahali; Rohaida Mohd Saat – Asia Pacific Education Review, 2024
Hands-on activities in science learning are beneficial in enhancing creative thinking in students. However, scant studies have probed the nature of creative thinking developed by hands-on activities, particularly among primary school students and further investigation is thus mandated. Therefore, this study aims to explore the creative thinking…
