“…Our finding shows that the creativity of male students in our study is higher, which is in line with several existing studies (Gunawan et al, 2020 ; Permatasari and Budiyono, 2020 ; Xu et al, 2022 ). One possible explanation is male students have a better ability to think and solve problems than female students (Doleck et al, 2017 ; Abdulla et al, 2020 ; Zibenberg and Da'as, 2022 ), influencing the development of creative thinking skills (Hidayat et al, 2018 ; Rahmawati et al, 2019 ). Indeed, the unequal distribution in the gender of interviewees may have an impact on this result, deserving further study.…”

PurposeThis study explored the relationship between sense of place and academic achievement in geography and used a mediation model to verify the mediating role of creativity in this relationship.MethodsA total of 1,037 upper secondary school students were surveyed using the Sense of Place Scale, the Innovative Behavior Scale, and their geography test scores. SPSS (version 26.0) was used for descriptive statistical analysis and correlation analysis. The PROCESS plug-in (version 4.0) was used to test the mediating effect of creativity.Results(1) The correlation analysis showed that sense of place has a positive effect on academic achievement in geography and is related to creativity. Moreover, creativity exerts a positive effect on academic achievement in geography (2). The results of mediation analysis indicated that creativity plays mediating and buffering roles in the relationship between sense of place and academic achievement in geography after controlling for gender and residential address. The direct and indirect effects accounted for 65.708 and 34.292% of the total effect, respectively.ConclusionsThe results indicated that sense of place affected not only academic achievement in geography directly but also creativity indirectly. This conclusion provides certain ideas for the development of geography curriculums. Since academic achievement in geography is related to both sense of place and creativity, it is necessary to pay more attention to integrating sense of place in geography education and to foster creativity in curriculum development and teaching of geography.

“…Such an environment can influence not only the development of creative thinking skills but also their academic achievement and motivation to learn. The integration of creative thinking especially in language classrooms increases motivation, improves students' learning performance and promotes creative thinking (Kasirer & Shnitzer-Meirovich, 2021;Liao et al, 2018;Mohamed Salmane, 2019;Zibenberg & Da'as, 2022).…”

The present paper reports on an evaluation study investigating the extent to which Moroccan EFL high school classrooms encourage the development of creative thinking skills. Our objectives were: to explore the extent to which educational policy documents, namely the National Charter for Education and Training (1999), the White Paper (2002) and the Guidelines for teaching English (2007) promote the development of creative thinking; to find out whether Ticket to English 2 textbook has the potential to support students to think creatively; to investigate teachers’ perceptions and attitudes towards developing creative thinking and to discover insights into the nature of classroom environment with regard to the development of the skill. The study used a mixed methods design which involves a mixture of qualitative and quantitative approaches. The purpose behind this choice is to investigate the match between the aims and objectives outlined in educational policy documents and their implementation through the textbook and teaching practices. The study employed five research instruments namely documents analysis, textbook evaluation, questionnaires, classroom observation, and a semi-structured interview. The results revealed that the importance of creative thinking has been emphasized in policy documents, yet the textbook and teaching practices focus on lower-order thinking skills, such as remembering and understanding. The study concludes with practical recommendations for policy makers, textbook designers, teachers, and teacher development programs.
