Creativity of Student-Teachers with Reference to their Gender and Locality

Abstract

Creativity is a unique gift of nature, a highly valued human quality which has been known for a long time to have its influence on scientific, technological and artistic spheres of human activity. The rapidly changing demands and challenges existing in the world today have almost necessarily been accompanied by creative expression and contributions from talented persons. When we look critically at the present day educational practice, one of the lacunae is a lack of importance given to creativity. With this background, the study was conducted to study the creativity level of the student teachers at secondary level. The main result of the study reveals that selected student teachers were emotionally strong.
