Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore relationship of Creative Problem Solving and science book
report, and develop a new assessment tool for Creative Problem Solving. For this purpose, we analyzed the
process of creative problem solving using created questions in science book reports reported by gifted
elementary school students, and made assessment standards. The developed assessment tool based on the
created questions in the science book report on ¡¸E=mc©÷¡¹ by 30 students attending Seoul National University
of Education Gifted Education Center is focused on the five creative problem solving components
(Motivation, General knowledge, Divergent thinking, Domain-specific knowledge, Critical thinking). The
positive effects of new assessment tool are to complement the previous result evaluation¡¯s fragmented
knowledge measurement, and to check students¡¯ real creative problem solving process. This assessment tool
will be indicator of figuring out current students¡¯ creative solving problem abilities, and which teaching
methods is more effective.
