Abstract

Students’ effective learning and creativity development is an important agenda, especially for Singapore. Human capital being the only natural economic resource Singapore has, it is important that teachers are able to teach students effectively. Whilst teachers in Singapore are prepared with creative pedagogical strategies for use in the classrooms, this may not be a sufficient approach if the aim is to increase the quality and capacity of future creative capital. This study aims to uncover how Singapore based teachers’ intention to further develop their pedagogical creative capacity may be increased through development programmes, policies and practices. A mixed method approach was utilised for this study. Employing an exploratory sequential design, qualitative data was first collected using semi-structured interviews (n=16). Based on the resultant themes, items were incorporated into the quantitative phase of data collection (n = 14). Analysis of quantitative data was carried out using the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test and Spearman’s Correlation.
