The objective of this study is to investigate learning systems based on STEAM education. The Design Thinking process allows second grade students to explore their creativity through exploring materials and how to use them. After finishing the instruction period, the students were assessed. The target group was 40 2nd grade students. This study was conducted by using action research process with three cycles. The research tools used the study were the developed lesson plans based on STEAM education with the use of design thinking process, learning management reflection, creativity assessment, and evaluation of creativity. For data analysis, content analysis technique was employed and the credibility of analyzed data was checked by method triangulation. The studies found that the proper ways of learning management based on STEAM education using design thinking process developing students’ creativity should have following features: 1) students to participate problem solving situations and ask for clarification; 2) teacher and students should discuss to express their opinions to the main issues for determining the creation goals; 3) students integrate their knowledge into decision making work process; 4) students should design and then create their work as designed; 5) students test their work accordingly following to the given conditions and then improve for presentation as assigned. For examining the results of creativity improvement, it was revealed that the students have an increasingly higher creativity after using learning management based on STEAM education using design thinking process.
