Abstract

The goal of this research was to identify the effectiveness of creativity curriculum in model schools and to analyze the differences between model schools and regular schools at each level (elementary, secondary, and high schools). The research question was as follows: is there any significant difference in creative thinking ability and creative personality between model and regular schools? The participants of this research were 1284 students from 12 model and regular schools. The Integrated Creativity Test (Lee, 2012) was used for measuring students’ creativity. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, and t-tests, using the SPSS 18.0 program. The results of this research indicated that students' creative thinking ability and creative personality were statistically different between model and regular schools. © Research India Publications.
