Abstract :

Focusing on the male students in second grade of high school, in Hamadan, this essay is to identify how inductive thinking method can affect on the students’ creativity. The method being used, in this research, was of the experimental one, having both experimental and control groups as well as pre and post tests, randomly being chosen. All male students in second grade of state high school were the consistent parts of the statistical population sampling method was of clustering type.60 students, randomly being divided into two groups of 30, were selected. In order to test the students’ creativity, at first, a pre-test (Abedi 1993) was given. Then, seven training sessions were held. Having passed these sessions, the students, in both groups, were given Abedi’s creativity test, as the post-test. Both multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and Spss21 software have been used to analyze the data. The findings showed that there is a significant relationship between teaching inductively and creativity (F=22/32, df=1, p>0/01). This very teaching method, also, is significantly related with the capability of development(F=13/27,df=1, p>0/01), mobility(F=14/23,df=1, p>0/01), creativity(F=16/51,df=1, p>0/01) and flexibility(F=9/90,df=1, p>0/01).
