Abstract—This research aimed to 1) develop a Virtual Learning Environment with the Engineering Design Process (VLEEDP) to enhance students’ creative thinking skills, and 2) study the results of using this VLEEDP to enhance students’ creative thinking skills. The sample group consisted of ninth grade students from Benchamarachuthit Pattani School. The sample group included one classroom with 39 students, selected through cluster random sampling. The research tools included a VLEEDP and lesson plans. The data collection tools comprised an evaluation form to assess the quality of the VLEEDP and a creativity skill evaluation form. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, including mean, standard deviation, and percentage. Additionally, the research employed a one-way repeated measures analysis of variance to analyze variables, and pairwise comparisons using the Bonferroni test. The research results indicated that: (1) the development of the VLEEDP was of high quality, and (2) the results of utilizing this VLEEDP showed that a statistically significant increase in creative thinking skills across the three assessments (64.76%, 75.14%, and 91.19%, respectively) at the 0.01 significance level.
