DR. MEENAKSHI KUJUR

Abstract

Creativity is not only essential for survival but also fundamental for attaining monetary success. Students at every educational level should endeavour to cultivate their creative thinking abilities, since it is one of the most essential and vital skills. The creative thinking skills of students from different achievement categories and genders are the main emphasis of the research. The research enlisted the help of 100 teenagers (50 males and 50 females) between the ages of 13 and 16. The data-gathering process included administering the Creativity Test, developed by Chouhan and Tiwari (1974), to test creative thinking skills. The study's overarching goal is to find out if there's a correlation between creative thinking and academic success and, if so, whether the correlation holds true for girls and boys. We analysed the data using t-tests and correlation. The research found that high achievers and poor achievers differed significantly with regard to their level of creativity. Lower performers exhibited less creativity compared to high achievers. When compared to females, boys exhibited more inventiveness. Additionally, the research found that creativity was positively and significantly correlated with academic performance.
