Effects of a CWL-STREAM Instructional Model in Enhancing Grade 10 Students’ Innovative Thinking Skills and Value Awareness of Local Wisdom

Effects of a CWL-STREAM Instructional Model in Enhancing Innovative Thinking Skills

Abstract

This study aimed (1) to develop the CLW-STREAM instructional model, which systematically integrates Science, Technology, Recreation, Engineering, Art and Mathematics (STREAM), Creativity-based learning (CBL), and local wisdom; and (2) to examine changes in students’ innovative thinking skills and value awareness of local wisdom before and after learning through the CLW-STREAM model. The model was piloted with 39 Grade 10 students in the 2023 academic year, and subsequently evaluated in the 2024 academic year 2024 with 34 Grade 10 students. The research procedure followed the ADDIE model and employed a mixed-methods research design. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation), E1/E2 efficiency indices, and a dependent-samples t-test. The results indicated that the CLW-STREAM model achieved an efficiency rating of 87.86/87.26, exceeding the established criterion of 80/80. The experimental group’s posttest scores for innovative thinking skills and value awareness of local wisdom were significantly higher than their pretest scores at the .05 level. These findings suggest that CLW-STREAM is an effective instructional innovation for enhancing Grade 10 students’ innovative thinking skills and strengthening their value awareness of local wisdom.
