Abstract

This study attempts to investigate the effect of teaching CoRT Program 4 entitled "Creativity" on the gifted learners' creative abilities in writing. The sample consisted of 36 gifted students in Ein El-Basha Center for Gifted Students. The first group (N= 18) was the control group (male and female students). The second group (N= 18) was the experimental group (male and female students).A pretest measuring fluency, flexibility and originality was administered for both groups. While CoRT program was demonstrated through 20 sessions taught for a period of three months for the experimental group, the control group continued studying in the traditional way. The test was validated and its interscorer reliability was ensured. The results of the study showed that the mean score of the experimental group was significantly higher than the mean score of the control group on fluency, flexibility and originality which indicates that the CoRT Program No. 4 entitled "Creativity" developed the gifted learners' creative abilities in writing English short stories. In light of the results of the study, the researcher recommends providing the gifted students with CoRT No. 4 entitled "Creativity" that could stimulate their fluency, flexibility and originality to write short stories creatively.
