Abstract
This annotated bibliography was developed to expand sources for a literature review in
the areas of creativity and time management within classroom teaching. Key words including
creativity, time management, classroom teaching, and measuring creativity were selected to
search for additional resources in this topic.Time management information in the area of
business is included due to a general lack of education specific research in the topic.

Introduction
The purpose of this annotated bibliography is to identify resources in the areas of time
management and creativity in preparation for a literature review on these topics. The literature
review will support a research proposal for a study to determine if a correlation exists between
effective time management skills and teaching creativity in secondary education within a
standards-based environment. This research will provide educators with another tool to
minimize obstacles in the creative process for teachers. A mixed-methods approach is
proposedfor this study for an in-depth investigation into the connection between these
characteristics.
As a former classroom teacher and current secondary administrator, I am interested in
research that investigates practical solutions to effectively meet the needs of today¶s students. I
am drawn to the needs of the 21st
Century student to remain competitive on the global stage.
Creativity and problem-solving skills, not just for students, but for teachers as well, has become
my primary area of interest. Well-planned, engaging, and creative lessons, combined with
rigorous standards for learning, will allow our students to be prepared in post-secondary
education and beyond. If a relationship is established between time management and the
teaching of creativity, such a determination can be utilized to improve the education climate of
today¶s secondary schools.

A study investigating the correlation between creative self-efficacy and classroom
environment, including teacher encouragement and feedback, was completed at the
University of Oregon. Participants at the middle and high school level totaling 1,322
students were predominantly Hispanic and male. Respondents completed a paper and
pencil likert-response survey to measure self-efficacy and motivational beliefs.
Researchers also gathered data on academic views, classroom experiences, and
participation on school activities. Data was analyzes using hierarchal regression and
analysis of variance, after classifying students into two performance groups. Conclusions
showed that students who hold stronger beliefs regarding academics also have a stronger
self-efficacy in the area of creativity. In addition, a student who feels encouraged by his
teacher to be creativity was more likely to perform in this manner. I initially chose to
review this study since it applied to secondary level students. Although the participants
do not match my own demographic group, the large sample size does permit some
generalization to students overall. The correlations were not surprising and I am
interested in the chosen method of data analysis as a model for my own research.
Davis, S. H. (Nov-Dec 2006). Unleashing creativity in your schools. Leadership, 36(2). 8-10
and 34-38.
This article discusses the imperative for creativity in school leaders. There is an ever-
present struggle between the push for innovation and change in the face of increasing
accountability and policy demands, while competition from charter schools raises the
need for creative solutions even further. Educators must possess a sense of urgency and
understanding, paired with curiosity and a sense of efficacy before creativity and
innovation become apparent. School leaders can provide the catalysts needed to bring

about change through creative solutions from all stakeholders, promoting distributed
leadership throughout the organization. Davis discusses multiple obstacles for creativity
including pressures for accountability, dwindling fiscal resources, and public pressure.
Twelve suggestions for leaders to encourage an atmosphere of creativity within a school
organization are also included in the article. While this article is not a review of a study,
it provides suggestions that may prove useful within the recommendations section of my
research. In addition, these recommendations are for leaders, not teachers, whom are the
focus of my proposed research.
De Souza, D. F. (2000).Teacher and student perceptions of creativity in the classroom
environment. Roeper Review, 22(3), 148-153.
This study, completed at the University of Connecticut, investigated teachers¶ and
students¶ own perceptions of characteristics that stimulate or inhibit the development of
creativity within the classroom. Qualitative data, in the form of interviews and focus
groups, were collected from seven teachers and thirty-one students in third and fourth
grades within public schools. The researchers sought to identify factors that enhance or
inhibit the development of creativity in students. Results indicated that both teachers and
students believe that the classroom environment enhances creativity when students are
given choices, different perspectives are welcome, self-confidence is encouraged, and
students¶ unique strengths and interests are reinforced. This study supports the findings
of the NACCCE report All our Futures (1999)which recommends that in order to develop
creative ability, teachers must encourage students¶ individual beliefs in their creativity,
while encouraging the confidence to take risks. This research into the perceptions of
elementary teachers will provide insight into my research participants as teachers,

although they will be at the secondary level. The identified factors can be used to
develop tools to quantify a classroom environment that emboldens creativity.
Diakidoy, I.-A.N., &Kanari, E. (1999).Student teachers' beliefs about creativity. British
Educational Research Journal, 25(2), 225-243.
This study from the University of Cyprus examines the opinions of student teachers about
creativity, creative outcomes, and factors related to creativity. The researchers used a
qualitative approach consisting of questionnaires with both closed and open questions
designed to conceptualize creativity. The survey was administered to forty-nine student
teachers at the end of their education enrolled in a program that emphasized creativity in
teaching. The authors find that student teachers believe that creative outcomes are not
necessarily the most appropriate outcomes. Creativity was viewed as manifested through
artistic and literary activity and seen as a skill that can be taught to students. The
classroom environment was important to the development of creativity in students and
schools were accused of not fostering the development of creativity enough. In addition,
creativity was viewed as an inherent characteristic similar to, although not succinctly
connected to, intelligence. Although my research subjects will be experienced educators,
the beliefs of student teachers at the end of their practical experiences in college, may be
similar to the participants with whom I will be working. These perspectives may be
useful in the development of my own tools and questionnaires. However, these particular
participants were educated specifically in creativity education, which will be a key
difference from my research.

Based in the primary grades, this study compares the perspectives of teachers in public
and private schools on student creativity. These perspectives were also examined
through demographic lenses of age, experience, educational levels, and ethnicity. Forty ±
eight teachers, half in public schools and half in the private setting, all within a large
urban setting in Tennessee, completed the Early Childhood Creativity Rating Scale for
four randomly selected students. Analysis was completed using a two-way analysis of
variance (ANOVA), which showed slightly higher creativity results for private school
children. There was also an overall downward trend in creativity in the older children as
compared to the younger students. The research found that public school teachers were
more overwhelmed with administrative and safety issues and speculated that teachers
who are less stressed can spend more quality time in creative ways with students. As for
the demographic comparison, no significant correlationswere found in this study. The
age of the participants limits the application to my own work, as I will be focusing on
secondary education. The findings related to the downward trend as students age
matches other research in creativity in students.
Flowerday, T. & Schraw, G. (2000). Teacher beliefs about instructional choice: A
phenomenological study. Journal of Educational Psychology, 92(4), 634-645.
This University of Nebraska in Lincoln study examined teachers¶ beliefs about
instructional choice within the classroom. The purpose was to describe what types of
choices teachers offer students, how they determine when and to whom to offer choices,
as well as why they offer certain choices. Thirty-six teachers from varied content areas
and grade levels were interviewed using phenomenological methods including a semi-
structured interview, which was recorded and transcribed to identify themes. The

researchers discovered that teachers perceive that providing choices to students in the
classroom increases student creativity, although primary reasons were in the areas of
student motivation, engagement, and interest. While this study is connected to creativity,
this was not the main goal of the research and will be a minor source for my own
research. Nonetheless, student choice will be a factor in teaching for creativity in my
own data collection.
Geist, E., & Hohn, J.. (2009). Encouraging creativity in the face of administrative convenience:
How our schools discourage divergent thinking. Education, 130(1), 141-150.
This qualitative study from Ohio University looks at how arts-based creative activities are
integrated into the curriculum. One researcher is the parent of a gifted child and openly
discusses how this perspective integrates into the research. The actual study consisted of
a qualitative comparison of two different early childhood classrooms through
observation. The authors concluded that creativity is fostered when the arts are integrated
into the curriculum, when training for pre-service teachers includes training in the arts,
and when teachers provide authentic encouragement rather than empty praise when
developing children¶s creative potential. Since this study focuses primarily on early
education and arts in the classroom, the information will not directly support a high
volume of my work. However, the information on appropriate encouragement may link
to characteristics of teaching at any level.

This study from the University of Nevada in Las Vegas inspected teachers¶
epistemological view, motivation, and goal orientation related to instructional practices
that foster student creativity. One hundred and seventy-eight teachers of students in
third, fourth, and fifth grades took the Instructional Practices Questionnaire I (IPQ-I) that
measures perceived instructional practices, which facilitate the development of creative
thinking in students. Participants also used the Epistemological Beliefs in Teaching and
Learning (EBTL) Questionnaire, intended to measure teachers¶ opinions about student
learning. Additionally, participants responded to a Self- Assessment Questionnaire
(SAQ): Intrinsic Motivation and an Instructional Practices Questionnaire II (IPQ-II).
Results were classified to demonstratethat certain instructor characteristics have an effect
on teachers¶ abilities to foster creativity in students. These characteristics are the
teacher¶s orientation toward learning, personal motivation for creative work, and the
teacher¶s beliefs about the nature of knowledge and learning. This is an important study
in the research around creativity in the classroom because it provides quantitative
evidence of teachers¶ traits on the development of learning, student achievement, and
improved student creativity. Even though the participants are in elementary grades, this
is an example of a quantitative study that provides support to my own research in creative
teaching. Specifically, the Instructional Practices Questionnaire I (IPQ-I)may be useful
in my own research as an instrument to measure creativity in instruction, rather than
general creative potential.

This study explored elements which influence creativity in teaching using qualitative
methods including focus groups, interviews, observations, field notes and data
triangulation. The authors began with twelve GreaTeach (for creative instruction) award
winning teachers in a focus group, followed with in-depth interviews and observations of
three participants. The participants were also assessed using several measures of
creativity including the Creativity Fostering Teaching Index and Innovative Teaching
Strategies Measure. The resulting analysis led to multiple factors which creative teachers
possess including specific personality characteristics, family background and
experiences, dedication to the profession, and personal motivation. Humor and
collaboration with colleagues and a cooperative climate also were identified as fostering
creative instruction. In the classroom, these teachers acted as facilitators, used multiple
teaching technologies, and created open and welcoming classrooms. This study provides
a qualitative example for the follow-up interviews I intend to conduct in my mixed-
methods study. In addition, several measures of creativity were used that may be
possibilities for the quantitative portion of my study. The factors identified by these
authors match those in other literature, even though this study was completed in Taiwain,
rather than in a western school environment.

In this University of Georgia study, forty-eight professors and fifty-two studentsobtained
through snowball and convenience sampling were interviewed in two stages regarding
perceptions of innovative teaching at the college level. The participants represented a
variety of disciplines and departments at the University. During the first stage of data

collection, participants free-listed characteristics, which were next turned into two
different quantitativesurveys, one for students and one for professors.While both students
and teachers identified similar innovative characteristics, the importance of these were
different for each group. Since the research was completed regarding college professors
and teachers, the generality to the secondary level is questionable. However,
characteristics of innovative teaching may be similar at the different levels and may be
useful in identifying such characteristics for my own research.
Jeffrey, B. & Craft A.. (2004) Teaching creatively and teaching for creativity: Distinctions and
relationships. Educational Studies.30(1).77-87.
Jeffrey and Craft¶s 2004 qualitative study was based on the National Advisory
Committee on Creative and Cultural Education(Education, 1999). Data was collected at
an early learning facility in Western Europe known for its creative approaches over the
course of seven weeks. The data included interviews with various stakeholders,
photographs, newsletters, policies, test results, and broad field notes. The focus of the
study was the distinction between teaching creatively and teaching for creativity as
defined in the NACCCE report. The research demonstrated that the concepts are
interrelated as teaching creatively often leads to teaching for creativity as educatorsmodel
related processes for the students. These processes included providing relevant
experiences, using a hands¶ on approach, which engages the learner, while allowing the
student a degree of control over their own learning and content. I am interested in
further pursuing the difference between the definitions for creativity explored by this
research and will need to define the concept clearly in my own work. The link between

these two types found in the Jeffrey and Craft article matches my own beliefs about
teaching and learning from background experiences and prior knowledge.
Kampylis, Panagiotis; Berki, Eleni; Saariluoma, Pertti (2008).In-service and prospective
teachers' conceptions of creativity. Thinking Skills and Creativity, 4(1), 15 ± 29.
This study was conducted in Greece to describe pre-service teachers¶ perceptions of
creativity in education. One hundred and thirty-two pre-service teachers completed the
Teachers¶ Conceptions of Creativity Questionnaire (TCCQ), a self-report
questionnairewithlikert-response questions. Findings showed that the participants view
creativity as a key factor on social and personal progress, which can be developed. In
addition, the study indicated that students can express creativity in different domains, but
many subjects in school do not provide enough opportunity for creative development.
The pre-service teachers felt that they lacked training regarding creativity and its
incorporation in the classroom, but believed that teachers can be influential in developing
student creativity. This article includes a comprehensive listing of research in this
particular area and types of creativity as defined in theory. This study supports the
research of Zapetakis, et. al. (2010) demonstrating the perceived importance of teacher
development in the area of creativity. This research also shows the lack of preparation
new teachers feel they receive in this critical area.
Mildrum, N. K., (2000, September). Creativity reigns (not reined) in the regular classroom. The

The author tests a creativity curriculum model called the Ten Lessons in Creativity (TLC)
as part of a master¶s thesis at Johnson State College in Vermont. The model was

designed to teach creativity in the regular, non-gifted classroom, and was tested in six
regular education classrooms at the sixth grade level using mixed methods. One-hour
lessons in creativity occurred once per week over six to ten weeks and were taught
collaboratively with a gifted educator. The results indicate that children who participated
in lessons using the model demonstrated increased understanding of creative abilities and
attitudes through use of vocabulary, increased meta-creative awareness and creative
abilities, as well as development of attitudes related to creativity. These attitudes spilled
over into other areas of the classroom and students demonstrated improved self-
confidence in their creative abilities. This study is valuable as it relates to regular
education students and shows the use of explicit teaching of creativity, rather than
creative teaching, as defined by Jeffery and Craft (2004).
Olmo, B. G., (1977, March). Developing creativity in teaching: Testing hypotheses.The High
School Journal, 60 (6), 269-276.
This article is a summary of a study in which the author worked with a group of graduate
students in education, teachers of varied experience levels, on the development of lesson
plans based on creativity traits identified by Torrance (1970) and Guilford (1968). The
teachers began by researching and identifying traits of creative teaching and then worked
in small groups to design lessons for their students. The author developed several
hypotheses for teaching creativity including divergent thinking, brainstorming, and
diversity of perspectives, but did not feel that the data collected was rigorous enough to
make any solid conclusions. The discussion of the study is difficult to follow and does
not contain enough information to be useful in the development of my study.

Nonetheless, it is interesting to see a study within the topic from several decades ago to
gain a perspective of the development of creativity in teaching over the years.
Thompson, P. & Sanders, E.. (2010). Creativity and whole school change: An investigation of
English head teacher practices. The Journal of Educational Change.11(1).63-83.
In England, schools face accountability pressures and a need for creativity. There are
multitudes of ³opt-in´ programs that are available to schools on a voluntary basis. One of
these permits headmasters to join the Creative Partnerships program in which creative
professionals work with schools to improve the innovative culture in the organization.
This study provides a snapshot of forty such schools, ranging in size and locality, and
schools were at various levels of creative engagement. Researchers spent three days in
each school collecting qualitative data in the form of interviews and other voluntary
resources. The head teachers felt that such partnerships ³enlivened the prescribed
curriculum´ and ³enhance the quality of coursework´ (Thompson & Sanders, 69). There
are connections discussed between the change process in these schools relating to a top-
down leadership model and the focus of the analysis is on leadership. Ultimately, the
researchers felt that the Creative Partnerships model would be beneficial if it was a more
integrated program, rather than an added on luxury for students. While this is an
interesting model for teaching creativity and could be used in the recommendations
section of my own research, the model will not be used as a basis. Again, the drive for
creativity comes from another European study, a developing pattern in my research.

Cropley, A. J. (2000). Defining and measuring creativity: Are creativity tests worth
using?. Roeper Review, 23(2), 72.
As a researcher, I will need to determine what aspects of creativity on which to focus as
well as what tools to measure this characteristic. Cropley¶s article outlines multiple
measures of different forms of creativity, along with the benefits and drawbacks of each
assessment. The statistical consistency of each exam is useful to future researchers such
as me. The examined tools measure creative products, creative thinking skills, personal
characteristics, motivation and attitudes, and include biographical inventories. Several of
the assessments evaluate children and would not be appropriate for measuring creativity
in teachers. The Torrance Test of Creative Thinking is the standard used in a great deal of
research and has been my chosen assessment in preliminary outlines. Nonetheless, two
additional assessments discussed in this article are being considered for my research:
Byrd¶s Creatix Inventory and Kirton¶s Adaptation-Innovation Inventory. Both are used
to obtain quantitative data on an adult¶s innovative thinking patterns using self-
assessment questionnaires. As I develop my proposal further, I will need to define the
type of creativity I will measure. This article is mostly useful to measure general
creativity, not creativity specific to teaching.
Sternberg, R. J. (2010).WICS: A new model for school psychology.School psychology

This article outlines several psychometric theories of intelligence that stem from analysis
of cognitive testing including those of Galton, Cattell, Binet and Simon, Terman, and
Wechsler. Theories that are more recent are also discussed including that of Carroll.
Sternberg then proposes a new theory, consistent with John Dewey, in which wisdom,

intelligence, and creativity are synthesized (WICS). The Rainbow Project, completed in
2006, analyzed data from 793 college students in the areas of creativity and intelligence.
The combined assessments predicted college success 50% better than standard
assessments alone. Sternberg continued his work at Tufts University with the
Kaleidoscope Assessment, a voluntary section of the application process designed to test
creativity. Once again, this test, which did not correlate well to the SAT, predicted
student success at a practical university level. The last section of the article provides
information on what it means to teach creatively, to teach for intelligence, and to teach
for wisdom, along with practical suggestions for application in the classroom setting. The
author concludes that teaching for WICS improvesoverall school achievement and is only
one model useful in the teaching of critical thinking. Overall, this model is a strong
possibility for defining teaching for creativity in my own study under development. I
must identify the characteristics of teaching and locate appropriate assessments of these
characteristics before data collection. This definition must be based on a well-defined
theory, such as Sternberg¶s WICS model.

This study, completed at the Harvard Business School, examines the effect of time
pressure on creative tasks. Prior research had shown contradictory results in these areas

ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY 17
and the authors felt there was little research overall. The literature review portion of the
article is extensive and discusses the impact of intrinsic motivation on creativity, as
possible negating the impact of time pressure. Nontheless, creativity is a process which
needs time for trial and error and personal reflection, both of which are difficult in an
environment under high time stress. The study examined 177 participants¶ responses to
daily electronic questionnaires over the span of five to thrity weeks. The data was both
quanitative, using a likert scale, and qualitative, consisting of free-response. Through
statistical analysis, the authors concluded that time pressures impacted creativity.
Specifically, there was a significant negative relationship between creative processing
and time pressure. Contrary to the original prediction, the research demsonstrated a
strong posivite correlation between intrinsic motivation and time pressure. While this
study does not adress educction in any way, teachers are certainly under time pressure,
which may impact their ability to be creative. This study is an excellent example of a
mixed-methods study in the area of organizational behavior linked to creativity.

educators. Specifically, improved time management, goal prioritization, and progress
self-monitoring can decrease emotional exhaustionand burnout. Macan¶s 1994 Time

setting and will be an important connection to my own work.

individual creativity and time management. Thinking Skills and Creativity, 5(1), 23-32.
This study, published in 2010, examined the correlation between time management skills
and creativity in 186 Greek undergraduate university students. Creativity was measured
using a sum of scores from Gough¶s (1979) Creative Personality Scale and a self rating of
creativity based on the work of Zhao and George (2001). Time management scores
measured behavior, tenacity, disorganization, and perceived control of time combining
several measures from multiple sources. A positive correlation was reported between
self-perceived creativity and planning behaviors, while creativity negatively correlated to
a preference toward disorganization. Creativity was only assessed through measurements
of self-evaluation, rather than using standardized methods such as the Torrance Test of
Creativity. This particular study was the initial catalyst for my proposed research. While
the participants were students and not teachers, the findings ignited my interest in the
practical nature of time mangagement and the possible implications on creativity in
teaching. I plan to include a more standard rating of creativity in conjunction with self-
ratings to gain a more robust measure in study.

This study originated from the University of South Florida in St. Petersburg and
investigated teachers¶ perceptions on Florida¶s high-stakes testing program. The authors
used a survey of 708 teachers and classified responses into concerns and praises of high-
stakes testing. The study finds that that most teachers do not believe high stakes testing
is moving schools in the correct direction and conclusions indicated more negative effects
than positive. One of the noted negative effects was a decrease in both teacher and
student motivation. This study is provides insight into teachers¶ beliefs about
standardized testing and its effect on student motivation, which has been linked to
creativity.
