To examine reliability of measures, Cronbach alpha coefficient and to determine validity factor analysis were used. The path diagram of hypothetical model was tested. Findings revealed the relationship between the models variables. So, teachers who want their students have a high intrinsic motivation in addition to create a conditions for free choice, should be confide the students, support ideas and give time to the idea, consider duties that are challengeable, teach debate, conflict and risk to their students and also with regard to the vitality, joy, dynamism and humor, create education environment for the development of their creativity.
