Creative problem-solving skills of the learners after the experiment was still significantly high with the higher scores. Regarding the difference of score levels, this indicated that all sub-skills in the creative problem-solving process of the experimental group showed positive development. All sub-skills possessed higher score level. The skills of selecting problem-solving methods and testing hypotheses had the highest increase in scores.
