Serious creativity among outstanding students

Abstract

The current study aims to identify the level of serious creativity among students in gifted schools, as well as to identify the level of serious creativity according to the variables of gender (male, female) and grade (first, second, third) in intermediate education. A stratified random sample (equality method) was selected, including (120) male and female students from the gifted schools affiliated with the Baghdad Third Rusafa Education Directorate. The researchers constructed and applied a serious creativity scale, following all scientific steps and procedures, which in its final form included (48) items. The results showed a generally weak level of serious creativity among the sample of gifted schools, while the level of serious creativity increased slightly in favor of males. The level was also affected by the grade variable.
