Abstract

AbstractNinety‐five beginning teachers and 116 experienced teachers rated the degree of usefulness of activities for fostering creativity on a 5–Likert scale (1 = not very useful, 5 = very useful). Three clusters (C) were elicited from their responses. C1 was featured by moderate and high ratings of teachers for all the learning activities. C2 was mainly characterized by student‐centered independent and collaborative learning activities. C3 was highlighted by student‐directed independent learning activities. About two thirds of the experienced teachers and one fifth of the beginning teachers belonged to C1. Nearly half and one fourth of the latter compared to one fifth of the former belonged to C2 and C3, respectively. Implications of the findings for Singaporean education were presented.
