Abstract
The purpose of the present study was the investigation of effective teaching to promote creativity in students. The population of this study comprised third-year students in Hamedan High Schools. Among this population of 1760 students, five groups (three experimental groups and two control groups) were selected through cluster sampling. The first group was exposed to three major factors (increase of teaching time, well- trained professional teacher and effective content), the second group had access to two of these factors (efficient content and professional teacher), the third group had only the benefit of an professional teacher. The Other 2 groups acing as the control groups had none of these factors. Creativity Test of Jamal Abedi was used prior and after the experiment. Data were analyzed using ANCOVA.
