The Effects of Creativity Training on Learning Disabled Students' Creative Written Expression

Forty-nine pupils from intermediate-level learning disabilities classrooms served as subjects. The Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking were used as pretests and posttests to measure the effect of creativity instruction on the creative writing skills of the subjects. For 14 weeks the Purdue Creative Thinking Program was used to stimulate the LD experimental group's creative thinking. Subjects in the LD experimental group made significantly greater scores than a control group on the creative thinking variables on the verbal (written expression) subtests of the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking.
