Mixed-methods study demonstrates the reliability of a performance-based scientific creativity assessment in fourth-grade students, highlighting a shift toward process-oriented science evaluation.

Key Points

Develop and validate a performance-based assessment framework and measurement tool for evaluating primary school students' scientific creativity during classroom activities.
Constructed a three-tier framework integrating scientific creativity theory with Williams' creativity model and refined classroom strategies via action research.
Developed and administered a 40-item Scientific Creativity Scale and a 20-item Influencing Factors Questionnaire to N=180 Grade 4 students in Sichuan, China.
Established a validated framework with 3 first-level dimensions, 13 second-level dimensions, and 27 behavioral indicators exhibiting strong internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.897).
Observed above-average overall scientific creativity, characterized by higher scores in creative tendency, lower scores in divergent thinking, and significant gender differences in curiosity and learning interest.
