Abstract

Abstract The study aimed to Developing a Scale of Attitudes and Values towards Creativity among Students in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by identifying the statistical indicators of the study sample on the measure of attitudes and values towards creativity according to nationality and gender, and determining the significance of the differences in the responses of the study sample on the measure of attitudes and values towards creativity due to the variables of nationality and gender and the interaction between them. In addition, determining the cut-off score through which the highest performers are identified on the scale of attitudes and values towards creativity. The researcher used the Statistical method. Renko's scale of attitudes and values towards creativity was applied. The research sample was selected from the research population using a simple random sampling method from gifted and normal students enrolled in the middle and secondary levels in public schools in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It consisted of (397) male and female students, with a percentage of (41.1%) males, and (58.9%) males. Females, and (48.4%) of the research sample were of Arab nationalities, and (51.6%) were of foreign nationalities. The results showed that the arithmetic mean for the scale of attitudes and values towards creativity for the sample as a whole was (76.25), and it was found that there were statistically significant differences in the responses of the research sample on the scale of attitudes and values towards creativity according to the nationality variable. The differences were in favor of the Arab sample, and there were no differences according to gender. The results showed that the cut-off score, which represents the dividing line between the highest performance and the lowest performance on the scale of attitudes and values towards creativity, was (87), and that the percentile ranks explaining the students’ performance amounted to (43) percentile ranks, ranging between rank (1) and rank (100). The percentile rank (1) corresponds to a score (≤32) on the attitudes and values towards creativity scale, and the percentile rank (100) corresponds to a score (105) on the attitudes and values towards creativity scale. The research presented several recommendations, including the use of a measure of attitudes and values towards creativity by the competent authorities in detecting and caring for gifted people in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
