The researchers undertook a curriculum development needs assessment analysis of Thai 7th grade students’ creativity abilities using multistage random sampling to select 476 Bangkok area Thai teachers and administrators. Analysis was conducted from the needs assessment questionnaire, from which data was obtained concerning curriculum development and the techniques necessary for strengthening 7th grade student creative skills. The modified priority needs index (PNI(Modified)) formula was used to set the order of needs. SPSS for Windows 21 was used to analyse means of frequency, percent, mean, and standard deviation.

Of the 7 aspects assessed using the PNI(Modified) formula, in rank of importance, students (aspect 7) were first, course curriculum ranked second, multi-media and teaching innovation ranked third (aspect 5), curriculum learning activities ranked fourth (aspect 3), teachers were fifth (aspect 4), measurement and evaluation was sixth (aspect 6), and finally, and seventh, was curriculum documentation (aspect 1).
