Fostering children’s creativity has always been a fundamental goal in children education. Since theoretical and empirical foundations in the area of creativity verify expandability of creativity, this study is aimed at investigating effectiveness of teaching creativity development program through group activities in increased creativity of pre-elementary school children. This study is of quasi-experimental nature with pretest, posttest and control group. The statistical population is composed of 24 pre-elementary school children who were divided into two experimental and control groups. The experimental group experienced 12 one-hour sessions of the interventions relating to theoretical foundations of creativity. Research instruments include Torrens Visual Form B. In order to analyze the data, the covariance analysis was carried out. Results suggest that creativity development program could significantly develop creativity and its components in children. The difference in the program for creativity program was not significant based on gender in overall score of creativity; in other words, the increasing impact of the program on the boys and girls in overall score of creativity was the same. Therefore, considering effectiveness of the program, it seems that such programs are required to be implemented for the purpose of increasing cognitive development and creativity on a large scale in the pre-elementary schools.

Learning and developing students’ creativity is one of the most important aims of all societies and their education centers by utilizing different methods. One of the most efficient, noble, and comprehensive methods for creating and developing creativity in students is TRIZ technique. The objective of this article was to study the effectiveness of TRIZ instruction on students’ creativity and its various factors in high school. This research was carried out in an experimental method with pretest, post-test and the control group. The Population was consisted of all the female students in grade two at Semnan high schools, of whom five were chosen through multilevel random sampling method, and were placed randomly in experimental and control groups. The Instruments were Abedi Creativity Survey and Raven's progressive matrices. Also, a 6-sections lesson plan for instructing TRIZ was applied. After conducting the creativity questionnaire in pre-test and post-test stages, data were analyzed by PASW software and multivariate analysis of covariance test. The study has shown that there is a significant meaningful difference in elaboration and originality factors between experimental and control groups, but this difference isn’t so considerable about fluency and flexibility factors. It is suggested that creativity-centered teaching be utilized in schools, and also the effect of other branches of TRIZ like UCIT and ARIZ on student's creativity be investigated.
