Abstract
This study focused on the domain, gender and age differences
in the creative behavior of children. The questions on creativity
model building were raised because of the significant
implications of creativity for education and curricular
development, as well as the improvement of creative teaching
and teaching to develop creativity in children at the primary
school level. The study participants were children aged 8–15,
as well as prospective primary school teachers. The results
showed the identifiable domain structure of children's creative
behavior, gender-specific changes in the domain averages
with age, and the close relationships of task commitment and
knowledge acquisition with creativity. The findings of this study
are discussed in relation to the definition and measurement of
creativity construct and in the context of education.
