Abstract

The article focuses on the teaching of science for the development of student's creativity. Creativity in science implies the ability to make a discovery in science though such information is already known to others. According to the author, to promote creativity, the science teacher should encourage students to identify and state the problems. The author emphasized that the ability of the pupil to design experiments to solve the problems which is defined by the pupil is another aspect of science creativity. The author's theory about selected teaching methods such as problem solving, open-ended experiments and research projects, if taught under given conditions can promote student creativity in science classes.
