Analysis of the Level of Teacher Creativity in Physical Education Learning Outcomes

Teaching creatively and teaching for creativity – theory, teachers’ attitudes, and creativity-based practices

ABSTRACT Numerous studies highlight the benefits of incorporating creativity in teaching, but practical experience shows that putting these theories and policies into practice often lacks the necessary resources. The current study focuses on three aspects of creativity in teaching: (a) Theoretical – how do policy documents and educational researchers refer to creativity in teaching and what are their recommendations regarding its implementation in the education system? (b) Attitudes – what do teachers know and what are their positions regarding the integration of creativity in teaching? (c) Practical – whether and how teachers use creativity-based practices in their teaching. We conducted a descriptive analysis of 36 teachers’ lesson plan performances and 11 interviews to answer the research questions. Findings revealed a gap between theory and practice: despite the teachers’ positive attitudes about integrating creativity in teaching, many of them did not apply these contents. Ways to minimize this gap between theory and practice are discussed.

Pengaruh Kreativitas Mengajar Guru Terhadap Hasil Belajar Siswa

This research aims to explore the impact of creativity in teaching methods on student learning outcomes. In this research, a qualitative approach with literature analysis is used as a method. The data taken comes from scientific studies relevant to the topic.
