The present study aims to develop the assessment of creativity education in the classroom based on
components of instruction and those of creativity education. We reviewed previous studies about the
components of instruction and those of creativity education. We also carried out a survey asking teachers
of what are the components of instruction and those of creativity education. We found four
components(consideration of students’ traits, speciality of teachers, student centered teaching and learning
method, personal and physical resources) as the components of instruction, and five components(divergent
thinking, convergent thinking, creative problem solving, openness, curiosity) as the components of
creativity education. The main survey was administrated to four hundred forty five teachers, vice principals
and principals, and we developed twenty items for the components of instruction and twenty items for
the components of creativity education. The construct validity was confirmed by analysing confirmatory
factor analysis. We confirmed also convergent validity with Soh’s Creativity Fostering Teacher Index:
CFTI. We found no difference in the structure of the components of instruction and those of creativity
education between elementary school and middle school teachers by structural equation modeling analysis.
We did not find any significant differences in the means of the components of instruction and those of
creativity education between “creativity-personality model school” and general school except the
components of personal/physical resources and convergent thinking. We discussed the results and
implications.
