Creativity in the best students of junior high schools

Summary/Abstract: The study builds on the results of empirical research demonstrating that highly appraised junior high school students are less creative than their peers with poorer school achievements. Junior high school was supposed to be the school of ‘new education philosophy’ teaching to ‘solve problems creatively in order to prepare students to work in the changeable environment of the modern world’ (assumptions of the Ministry of National Education, The Library of Reform, 1999, p. 11). If the ministerial conception were to come true in the educational practice then the most highly evaluated junior high school students should be convinced about the usefulness of creative behaviours. Objective effects of the stimulation of creative thinking could also be expected to occur. The results of the study unequivocally disprove both these suppositions. The paper suggests a possible explanation for the diagnosed condition.
