The purpose of creative science teaching is to produce innovative solutions to problems, thereby achieving higher goals in the field of science teaching. From the perspective of a teacher’s thought processes, this study explored adaptive expert teachers’ opinions regarding instructional innovation and practical knowledge to extract creative science-teaching principles. First, we analyzed all award-winning creative science-teaching designs in Taiwan over the 2008–2012 period. Second, we interviewed nine science teachers and analyzed the transcripts. Finally, we extracted 21 creative science-teaching principles, which were categorized under four dimensions: “creative content and issues,” “creative teaching and learning processes,” “improvement of creative teaching ability,” and “creative teaching contexts.” These creative science-teaching principles can not only assist science teachers in thinking critically about their teaching methods but also facilitate developing creative teaching behaviors. |
