The effects of a creativity training program on students’ initial perceptions of creativity: the case study of Mohamed First University, Morocco
Mohamed Dihi1, Abderrahmane Bouamri2.
Incorporating creativity in education is widely accepted to be a necessity in today's rapidly
changing world. However, in the case of Moroccan educational settings, it is noticed that schools
continue to be characterized by traditional and conventional instruction. It is true that some
students excel in traditional teaching delivery; however, creative learners are neglected and at risk
of being rejected. Understanding the nature of creativity and putting it into action are of paramount
importance for students to pursue creative opportunities in their own life. This study aims at (1)
assessing 22 Moroccan Master’s students’ general perceptions and attitudes towards creativity; (2)
improving students’ creativity by introducing them to a list of creativity techniques; (3) evaluating
how effectively the proposed creativity training workshops have influenced students’ initial views
of creativity. The study used questionnaire inquiry data analysis to collect both quantitative and
qualitative data. The findings reveal that students hold positive attitudes towards creativity in
education. More importantly, the study shows how the proposed creativity training workshops
have positively affected students’ initial perceptions and attitudes towards creativity.
