Impact of creative problem solving program on the development of creative thinking skills among university female students

Abstract EN

The present study aims to investigate the impact of a Creative Problem Solving (CPS) program on improving the creative thinking skills among the third level female students at Psychology Department, College of Educational, Jeddah University.

Using the quasi-experimental approach, an educational program based on CPS was prepared and applied to a sample of (30) students.

Pre-post- and successive tests of Torrance Test of Creative Thinking (TTCT) were conducted.

Results revealed that there were statistically significant differences in the skills of fluency, flexibility and originality in favor of the post-test.

There were no statistically significant differences in the means of the participants’ scores in creative thinking skills (i.e.

fluency, flexibility and originality) and the total score in the post and successive test suggesting the continuity of the positive impact of the program.
