“…Except elaboration ability, no statistically significant difference was found among the age groups. Empirical evidence present in support of this finding [28], however, contradictory results also present [29,33,35], which shows not specific pattern of creativity development across ages. When grade was the concern, our results showed a clear cut increase in elaboration ability, originality and consequently overall creativity from grade/class six to class eight.…”

“…However, on the other hand, few studies reported no significant differences in children's creative abilities concerning gender, grade, and social caste [31][32][33]. Another study reported no significant differences in visual-spatial creativity between countries [34], while others observed high creative thinking ability in children unaffected by school type, age, or gender [35]. Ward and Warren identified socio-economic status but not gender as a significant factor in creativity [36].…”

The aim of this cross-sectional survey was to investigate creativity (in terms of elaboration ability, originality) and learning style preferences of 303 elementary school students randomly selected from Grade-VI, VII and VIII, from schools of Paschim Medinipur district in the state of West Bengal, India. Creativity was measured using Baqer Mehdi’s Non-Verbal Test of Creative Thinking. Learning style preferences were assessed using the Learning Style Inventory developed by Richard Oliver. Collected data were analysed concerning the age, grade, gender, and social caste of the participants through frequency, mean, standard deviation, percentage, independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA and Chi Square test. Results revealed that age positively influence elaboration ability, with younger students displayed higher originality. Originality, and overall creativity did not show significant variations across age groups. Grade-VIII students performed best in all aspects of creativity; however, significant difference was present only in elaboration ability. No significant differences based on gender and social caste were observed in all aspects of creativity. A significant age and social caste difference was observed in learning style preferences, however, grade and gender differences were not found. Majority of students preferred unimodal learning styles, with visual learners demonstrating higher elaboration and originality. Elaboration ability was significantly influenced by learning styles preferences, however originality and overall creativity were invariant. The research fills the gap in existing literature by providing a comprehensive analysis of creativity and learning style preferences, offering insights into their combined impact on elementary school students' educational experiences. The findings contribute to the fields of education and social sciences, guiding educators and policymakers in adopting personalized learning approaches based on individual learning styles. This study underscores the significance of understanding creativity and learning styles concerning demographic factors, promoting inclusive and equitable educational practices for elementary school students.

Tujuan utama dari penelitian ini adalah menganalisis kreativitas sains siswa pada setiap domain dengan instrumen Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada 50 guru dan 500 siswa pada 10 Sekolah Dasar Pada Gugus 2 Kecamatan Nusaniwe, Kota Ambon. Hasil penelitian ini melaporkan hasil deskriptif demografi responden dan tingkat kreativitas yaitu kelancaran, keluwesan, orisinalitas dan elaborasi dikalangan siswa sangat baik. Hasil penelitian secara keseluruhan menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar siswa berada pada level baik setelah diajarkan dengan model PjBL. Siswa meningkatkan kreativitas mereka dengan instruksi dan arahan guru. Awalnya secara rinci, banyak siswa kurang memiliki dimensi kefasihan, fleksibilitas, orisinalitas dan elaborasi sehigga tidak dapat memberikan lebih banyak ide, dan tidak dapat memberikan cara jawaban. Sehingga orisinalitasnya menjadi kurang dan mereka tidak punya ide untuk mengelaborasi lebih jauh dari jawaban yang diberikan. Namun, berdasarkan hasil temuan dari beberapa pertemuan siswa mengalami peningkatan yang cukup tinggi. Hal ini karena menerapkan strategi pembelajaran yang berorientasi masalah yang meningkatkan masing-masing ranah kreativitas dalam mata pelajaran IPA. Selain itu, peneliti juga merekomendasikan untuk melakukan penelitian yang lebih mendalam tentang proses berpikir kreatif di kalangan siswa berdasarkan keunggulan lokal masing-masing sekolah berdasarkan letak geografis yang memiliki nilai keunikan tersendiri. Oleh karena itu, guru diharapkan dapat lebih memahami secara kognitif, afektif dan psikomotor dalam pikiran siswa dan mungkin dapat meningkatkan keterampilan berpikir kreatif siswa pada setiap dimensi pada kreativitas.
