Inculcating Creativity: A Study on the Creative Abilities of Educators in the Field of Design

Abstract

The study aims to evaluate the range of creative abilities of design educators in Indian colleges and universities. A total of 149 participants, including 49 males and 100 females, were surveyed using a questionnaire from the Leadership Assessment Tools. The study finds that only 2% of educators are classified as 'very creative,’ and none are 'exceptionally creative,’ with around 60% of educators being 'above average' in their creative ability scores. The study also suggests that educators with more experience or higher designation have higher creative ability scores. The findings of this study can be used to improve the curriculum, pedagogy, assignments, and evaluation criteria in educational institutions to promote creativity among educators and students.
