An Investigation of Creativity Among Children Attending Preschools
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate creativity among children attending preschools in terms of
several variables. The study was conducted with 72 female and 63 male 5-year-old (60-72 months) children selected
from independent preschools related to the Turkish Ministry of National Education in Ankara. The “General
Information Form” was administered to children in order to collect basic information about children and their
parents. To determine creativity among children, the “Torrence Creative Thinking Test” developed by Torrence in
1966 and translated into Turkish by Aslan (1999) was used. Mann-Whitney U and Kruskall-Wallis H tests were
used to analyze data. As a result of the study, gender and father’s educational level do not affect creativity scores of
the children, yet duration of preschool attendance and mother’s educational level statistically have a significant
effect on their creativity scores (p < .05).
