mastery of scientific knowledge was needed as a connector of science process skills
with scientific creativity; (2) science process skills were positively and significantly
correlated with scientific creativity; and (3) both scientific knowledge and science
process skills had a simultaneous correlation to scientific creativity. Keywords: creative responsibility-based learning, science process skills, scientific
