Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of visual note making method on creativity and science achievement of elementary school students. This study was conducted for the 17 periods of the first semester of the 4th grade students. Seventy nine students were assigned to experimental group and control group. The experimental group was taught through visual note making methods, and the control group was taught by the traditional manner. On the basis of the test of verbal-spatial from NASSP, the subjects were classified to visual-, visual verbal-, verbal preference groups. After this methods had been applied, students of both groups took tests of creativity and science achievement. The results of this study were as follows: 1. In order to investigate the effects of visual note making on creativity and science achievement of the students, students' creativity and science achievement were analyzed by t-test. The experimental group showed significantly higher scores on both of creativity and science achievement than control group. 2. Visual preference group showed significantly higher score on creativity than visualㆍverbal-, and verbal preference group (p<.01), but not significant on science achievement. In conclusion, the instruction applying the visual note making methods was more effective in nurturing student's creativity and science achievement than the traditional instruction.
