Exploring creative behaviour in special education and nutrition teachers
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3846/cs.2026.23105Abstract
This study aimed to assess the level of creative behaviour among special education and nutrition teachers in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, with a focus on how gender, experience, and specialization influence creativity. The sample included 144 teachers (male and female) from schools under the Ministry of Education (United Arab Emirates), with a validated questionnaire developed by the researchers to measure creative behaviour. The findings indicated that the overall level of creative behaviour was moderate, with significant differences favoring female teachers. Nutrition teachers exhibited higher levels of creative behaviour compared to their special education counterparts. Based on these findings, the study recommends the development of targeted training programmes that enhance critical thinking, problem-solving, and adaptive change management skills to foster creativity among educators.
