Educating students for higher-order thinking provides them with tools that turn them into more critical thinkers. This supports them in overcoming life problems that they encounter, as well as becoming an integral part of the society. This students’ education is attended to by educational organisations that emphasise the positive consequences of educating students for higher-order thinking, including creative thinking. One way to do that is through educational programmes that educate for higher-order thinking. One such programme is the Cognitive Research Trust (CoRT) thinking programme. The present research intended to examine the effect of the participation of Grade 6 students in a CoRT programme on their creative thinking. Fifty-three students participated in the research; 27 participated in a CoRT programme, while 26 did not participate in such programme. The ANCOVA test showed that the students who participated in the CoRT programme outperformed significantly, in creative thinking, the students who did not. Moreover, the students in the CoRT programme whose achievement scores were between 86 and 100 outperformed significantly the other achievement groups of students. Furthermore, students with reported high ability outperformed significantly the other ability groups of students. The results did not show statistically significant differences in students’ creativity attributed to gender.

教育六年级学生进行高阶思维及其对创造力的影响

对学生进行高阶思维的教育为他们提供了将他们转变为更具批判性思想家的工具。这支持他们克服他们遇到的生活问题，并成为社会的组成部分。这些学生的教育受到一些教育组织的重视，这些组织强调对学生进行包括创造性思维在内的高级思维的积极影响。一种方法是通过对高阶思维进行教育的教育计划。这样的程序之一就是认知研究信任（CoRT）思维程序。本研究旨在检验6年级学生参加CoRT计划对其创造力思维的影响。共有53名学生参加了该研究；27人参加了CoRT计划，有26个没有参加该计划。ANCOVA测试表明，参加CoRT计划的学生在创造性思维方面的表现明显优于未参加的学生。此外，参加CoRT计划的学生的成绩得分在86到100之间，明显优于其他成绩组的学生。此外，具有较高能力的学生表现明显优于其他能力类别的学生。结果表明，由于性别，学生的创造力没有统计学上的显着差异。在CoRT计划中，成绩得分在86到100之间的学生的表现明显优于其他成绩组的学生。此外，具有较高能力的学生表现明显优于其他能力类别的学生。结果表明，由于性别，学生的创造力没有统计学上的显着差异。在CoRT计划中，成绩得分在86到100之间的学生的表现明显优于其他成绩组的学生。此外，具有较高能力的学生表现明显优于其他能力类别的学生。结果表明，由于性别，学生的创造力没有统计学上的显着差异。
