An Investigation of Creativity Among Children in Kindergartens, Primary, Middle and High Schools
Abstract
This study, which has a correlational survey design, aims to investigate creativity among children in
kindergartens, primary, middle and high schools. The population of this study is comprised of all children attending
kindergartens, primary, middle and high schools in the 2011–2012 academic years. The sample of the study consisted
of a total of 1200 students, 100 of whom were randomly selected from each level of education. For some reasons,
some cases were omitted, and analyses were done using the data of 1085 students. As a result of the study, it was
observed that gender caused major differences regarding fluency in children attending kindergartens, elaboration and
resistance to premature closure in children middle schools, and regarding originality, abstractness of titles, and
elaboration and total creativity in children attending to high schools. It was found out that the average creativity score
of girls were higher than those of boys (p < 0.05). Besides, the scores for fluency, elaboration, and resistance to
premature closure and total creativity differed on the level of education (p < 0.05).
