1-Developing teaching methods and techniques in the light of the recent research findings in the field of teaching and learning. Methods known to have good reflections on the development of creativity should be introduced to the educational practices .
2-Considerable emphasis should be placed on the school activities curriculum. It is through these activities that we can detect and develop creative abilities in the students.
3-Providing teachers with continuous in-service training courses in order to train them on the recent teaching methods that can enhance creativity in the students. In these courses, teachers should be alerted of the following:
-Class time should not be wasted on indoctrination.
-Democracy and free expression of opinions should be prevalent in the classroom.
-Encouraging creative students whose creative abilities should be separated from their academic achievement.
-Varying teaching methods, so they would be more arousing and useful to the students.
-Making oneself a good example to the students in terms of behavior and thinking.
-Making students feel dependent, responsible and capable of achievement.
-Urging students to respect manual work and making them realize its importance in meeting many social needs.
Making the learner the center of the educational process.
-Responding to students’ comments in a way that stimulates further thinking on their part.
-Using questions that can probe divergent thinking and, hence, develop creativity.
4-Establishing schools or institutes for creative students where psychological and scientific atmosphere supportive to the development of creativity can be secured.
5- Exploring the background of creative students in the fields of science, technology, art and literature in order to know about the significant environmental, social and genetic factors influencing their creative productions.
6-Adopting two main methods in education. The first postulates ideas and studies on creativity and criticizes them constructively. The second develops programs to deal with the ambiguous stimuli in his/her environment, courses and activities that can be put into action and help the learner .
7-The general educational atmosphere in any educational schools or centers should be away of anxiety situations and circumstances regarding to the negative relationship between creative thinking and anxiety on one side , and the anxiety considered as one of the pest predictor of creative thinking on the other side .
8-In scholastic environments, the administration must follow many educational tichniques and styles to promote creative thinking.
9 - Creative activities and teacher record are the best predictors for creative thinking, so the scholastic curriculums must focus in their contents on the techniques that support the previous variables, to get creative students to use their creative thinking abilities.
In the light of the results of the present study and the researcher’s inability to explore the relationship between creativity and several other variables, the researcher offers the following suggestions for further research:
1-Investigating the most important psychological and social variables that affect creative production, so they could be used in predicting creative abilities.
2-Developing educational and psychological programs to enhance students’ creative abilities both in subject matters and the accompanying activities.
3-Conducting more investigations on the relationship between intelligence and creativity, so a more definite understanding of the two variables could be reached.
4-Studying the various psychological and social dimensions of performing extra curricular activities and their impact on the development of students’ creativity. A positive correlation was found between creative thinking and creative activities in the present study.
5-Conducting further investigations of the gender differences in creativity. This could have significant reflections on the way creativity is attended to in classrooms .
6-Investigating the relationship between the various types of thinking, scientific, imaginative, logical, critical…. etc, and creativity. As far as the researcher knows research in this area is little even though it is of great importance for the development of creativity.
7-Exploring the factors that induce and increase students’ anxiety. The present study found a reverse relationship between creativity and anxiety. Identifying anxiety-provoking factors, we can create a more relaxing environment where creative individuals can practice and enhance their creativity.
8-Conducting cross-cultural studies on creativity in order to explore the reflections of the different cultures on creativity and its development in young and adult students.
9-Exploring the most important family, environmental and societal influences and obstacles that relate to creativity and its development.
10-Conducting longitudinal studies investigating the significant influences and characteristics that increase creative productions, the personal changes that creative persons undergo, and the interaction of personal and environmental factors in creative and non-creative persons.
