Thus, it may be more effective to provide an actualized idea generation and verification methods. In this study, we developed the creativity problem solving program with the attribute listing and PMI skills in the idea generation and verification stages respectively and applied it to six groups consisting of 5th elementary school students. We analyzed the creativity and the verbal interactions among the students at the level of interaction units. The analyses of the results revealed that the problem solving program with the creative thinking skills had significant effects on the fluency and originality that were sub-elements consisting creativity. In the analyses of interaction unit, the frequencies of the making suggestion at the idea generation stage were high. And at the idea verification stage, the frequencies of the making suggestion and receiving opinion were high. Educational implications of these findings were discussed. Key words : creative thinking skill, idea generation & verification, elementary school student I. 21., (Kang & Choi, 2002; Park et al., 2002; Seo et al., 2004).
