University Teachers ’Attitudes Towards Creativity: A Case Study of the University of Loralai

Abstract

Instructors carry out a crucial role when they foster creativity in both their students and their classes. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate how university professors view innovation. It was the University of Loralai case study. There were twenty-five university teachers (18 men and 07 women) who were selected at random from the University of Loralai in Balochistan. The research design employed in the study was a descriptive survey, with Likert's five-point questionnaire serving as the data-gathering tool. Two sections of the questionnaire were distributed: one for the study and one for the demographics. The study section examined the attitudes of teachers toward creativity, whereas the demographic section contained information about the teachers. Age, gender, religion, place of residence, province, education, and prior teaching experience were among the demographic factors that were measured. The Al-Nouh et al. scale was employed by the current researchers to look at the mean value of the attitudes of university lecturers (2014). Teachers' views about creativity were categorized into three categories for simplicity of analysis: high, medium, and low (Al-Nouh et al., 2014). Results of the current study showed that University of Loralai teachers’ attitudes towards creativity were high because the mean value was 3.82. According to the scale of Al-Nouh. et al. (2014), this mean value, i.e., 3.82, falls in the category of high mean. Thus, overall, the University of Loralai teachers’ attitudes towards creativity were high. It is concluded through this research that University of Loralai teachers had positive attitudes and opinions toward creativity. Implications and recommendations for future researchers have been discussed
