Teacher’s Perceptions towards Teaching Creatively in Higher Education

Abstract

Faculties of education consider a gate towards a better education by encouraging their students to be creative teachers in future. Thus, the present study aims to investigate university EFL teachers’ perceptions towards teaching creatively. Participants were chosen randomly from Janzour Faculty of Education for the academic year 2024-2025. They were 19 female university EFL teachers from English Language Department. The study used a mixed method research design using a questionnaire with Likert’s five-point scale distributed into two categories: demographic information and teachers’ perceptions towards teaching creatively. To triangulate the data, a semistructured interview was employed along with the survey. The findings revealed that teachers’ perceptions were high. Implications as well as recommendations for future research were discussed.
