“…The results revealed a significant correlation between gender and creative thinking ability; furthermore, right-brain dominance was found to be connected to learning style and creative thinking ability [47,48].

“…In contrast, women gravitate toward people-oriented majors such as education, nursing, art, and literature [41,42].

“…Learners with smaller working memory capacity prefer active, sensing, and visual learning styles, while those with higher working memory capacity are inclined toward reflective, intuitive, and sequential learning modes. Piaw [44] proved that differences of learning style exist in gender and controlled the variables, that is, ethnicity and academic major, to explore the influences on creative thinking ability. The results revealed a significant correlation between gender and creative thinking ability; furthermore, right-brain dominance was found to be connected to learning style and creative thinking ability [47,48].…”

Instagram is currently the most popular social media app among young people around the world. More than 70% of people between the ages of 12 and 24 are Instagram users. The research framework of this study was constructed based on smartphone addiction and the uses and gratifications theory. We used 27 question items divided into five factors, namely social interaction, documentation, diversion, self-promotion, and creativity, to investigate the motives for Instagram use and topics of interest among university students in Taiwan. A total of 307 valid questionnaires were obtained. The results revealed that on the whole, the motives for Instagram use were mostly to look at posts, particularly involving social interaction and diversion motives. The level of agreement expressed toward motives for creating posts was lower. Gender, professional training background, and level of addiction to Instagram all exert influence on motives for Instagram use. Over half of the students majoring in design followed artisans and celebrities (including designers), and female students noticed ads on Instagram more than male students did.

This research which investigates teachers’ and students’ opinions about students’ attention problems during the lesson is a descriptive study in the survey model. 432 teachers and 1023 students from secondary schools in the central districts of Adana voluntarily participated in the study. The research data were collected with a Written Interview Form developed by the researchers and a descriptive content analysis was used for data analysis. As a result of the research, it was observed that the teachers perceived the attention problems that the students experienced during the course mostly as a problem arising from the students themselves while the students associate this problem not only with themselves, but also with other students, teachers and the environment. According to the results, teachers as well as students easily noticed the psychological characteristics, the behaviors they exhibited and their low academic performance, but the teachers evaluate this situation more as disciplinary problems. The solution suggestions of the teachers who kept the attention problems of the students out of their own sphere and their teaching practices were that passing exams should be harder and discipline regulations should change to facilitate punishment. The students stated that teachers should show more interest towards the students, approach the students positively and use a variety of teaching methods in accordance with the students’ level.

“…It means the male students were better in creative ideas than the female counterparts. It was concluded that there was a great impact of gender to the five components of creative thinking ability [37]. Similarly, Naderi, Abdullah, Aizan, Sharir, and Kumar [38] in their study concerning creativity, age, and gender predicting academic achievement revealed that creativity, age and gender predicted academic achievement but such predictions were low (R=.378, R -Square= .143) despite existence of significance relationship (F= 8.294, sig=000, P<0.01) among the variables.…”

Aims:This study sought to explore the moderating role of gender in the relationship between creative thinking and academic performance in English Language and Mathematics among Junior High School students in the Aboom Circuit, Cape Coast. Study Design: The design for the study is correlational espousing the quantitative approach. The study was guided by two research hypotheses, which were tested using Pearson Product-Moment Correlation and Andrew F. Hayes Moderation Process. The instruments for the data collection were Kumar, Kemmler and Holman (1997) Creativity Styles Questionnaire-Revised (CSQ-R) and standardised-type test developed by experts in the various subject areas. Inuusah et al.; JESBS, 31(4): 1-10, 2019; Article no.JESBS.51413 2 Results: The study revealed significant relationship between creative thinking and academic performance of students (English Language: r=.432, n=140, p=0.05, p=.003, 2-tailed; Mathematics: r=.401, n=140 p=0.05, p=0.000, 2-talied). The study further revealed that gender moderated significantly in the relationship between creativity and academic performance . As such, male respondents had higher creative thinking effect in English Language and Mathematics than female respondents (b=.371, t=4.608, CI [.212, .530; b=.219, t=2.286, CI [.030, .407]). Conclusion: Creative thinking indeed relates to performance, as such, it was recommended that creative thinking should be nurtured among all students in J.H.S. In addition, stakeholders in education should consider including creative thinking in the curriculum and pay special attention to nurturing creative think in female students so that they could match up with their male counterparts.
