摘要

The purpose of this study was to develop a teaching strategy focused on science writing and to investigate its effects on enhancing students?ˉ creative thinking skills. In advance, students in the experiment were led to write by inquiry elements. And students in the experiment group were taught by science writing strategy. Students in the control group were taught by traditional lecture-based instructions. The program was implemented over a semester. The results indicated that the experimental group presented statistically meaningful improvement in creative thinking skills(p.05). Especially, science writing was effective on fluency and flexibility development(p.05). This study suggests that science writing can be effective for improvement of creative thinking skills.
