However, the way in which the integration of SIA and DT fosters creative thinking in entrepreneurship (CTE) among rural secondary school students during science learning remains unclear. To address this gap, a learning module was developed to explore this integration and examine its implementation challenges. A qualitative research design, using a case study approach with purposive sampling, was employed. Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine tenth-grade students from three rural secondary schools in Tawau, Sabah, Malaysia. Students shared their perspectives on the implementation and challenges of the SIA-DT learning module. The interview findings suggest that students believe the SIA-DT method fosters CTE, despite some persistent challenges. This approach has the potential to enhance holistic thinking, critical thinking, transformative learning, systematic inquiry, creative problem-solving, value-based reasoning, strategic planning, and market-driven innovation. Overall, the SIA-DT method shows promise in shaping the next generation of creative entrepreneurs among rural secondary school students.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">169-186</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nilay Şener</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Erol Taş</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IMPROVING OF STUDENTS’ CREATIVE THINKING THROUGH  PURDUE MODEL IN SCIENCE EDUCATION</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Baltic Science Education</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">creative thinking</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Problem Solving</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Purdue model</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">science project</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">June/2017</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://oaji.net/articles/2017/987-1497964027.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">16</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Continuous</style></pages><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">E-ISSN 2538-7138</style></isbn><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The aim of this research is to develop a guide material prepared according to Purdue Model for the ‘The Let's Solve the Puzzle of Our Body’ unit in the 5th grade Science class at secondary school and to research the effects of this guide material on students’ creative thinking. For this purpose, the research was carried out by using the quasi experimental model, with pre-test and post-test control groups. Experimental application was carried out with 43 experimental group and 44 control group students, in total 87 students in Turkey. While in the experimental group applications were carried out based on the Purdue Model, in the control group the course was taught according to the activities stated in 2013 Ministry of National Education Science Curriculum in Turkey. The data of the research were collected using Torrance Test of Creative Thinking Verbal Form A-B and Figural Form A-B. As a result of the research, it was determined that verbal and formal creative thinking levels of the experimental group and the control group students were significantly different in favour of the experimental group students. On the basis of the results obtained from this research, some suggestions have been made to the educators and future researchers. </style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">350-365</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Selda Bakır</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Esra Öztekin</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CREATIVE THINKING LEVELS OF PRESERVICE SCIENCE TEACHERS IN TERMS OF DIFFERENT VARIABLES</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Baltic Science Education</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">concept of creativity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">creative thinking</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Preservice Science Teachers</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">April/2014</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://oaji.net/articles/2015/987-1437063246.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">13</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Continuous</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The aim of this study was to determine the creative thinking levels of preservice science teachers in terms of different variables such as gender, year of study, the type of school they graduated from and their parents’ educational background. The study was carried out on 241 preservice science teachers. The data collection tools applied were the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (Figural Form A), which was used to measure their creative thinking levels, and the Individual Information Form, which was developed by the researchers. The study revealed that the creative thinking levels of preservice science teachers do not differ significantly with respect to gender, year of study, the type of school they graduated from, or their parents’ educational background. </style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">231-242</style></section></record></records></xml>
