The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of gender and knowledge on scientific creativity among
form three biology students (third year in secondary school cycle) in Nakuru district in Kenya. The cross- sectional
survey research was employed. The population of the study comprised all form three biology students in public
secondary schools in Nakuru district. A sample of eight schools with a total of 363 students was selected from the
population using stratified sampling technique. Two instruments, namely, Biology Achievement Test (BAT) and
Biology Scientific Creativity Test (BSCT) were used to collect data. The psychological definitions of creativity
tested are sensitivity, recognition, flexibility and planning. The mapping of these psychological definitions of
creativity onto scientific meanings is explained using the model that guided construction of items in BSCT. Data
analysis was done using quantitative methods. The statistics used were Pearson correlation coefficient(r), chisquare,
t-test and ANOVA, at α=0.05 level of significance. The findings of this study indicate that the form three
biology students who participated in the study had a low level of scientific creativity. Secondly, the level of scientific
creativity is knowledge and gender dependent. The findings may help teachers and other stake holders in
education in inculcating creativity skills amongst science students.
