Abstract

Each period of human development brings with it new competency requirements, challenges, and opportunities for growth even academically. The main purpose of this study is to determine the gender disparity on the creative performance of senior secondary school students. The sample comprised of two hundred and thirty five senior secondary school one (SSI) students within the age range of 14-16 years. One hundred and eighteen females and one hundred and seventeen males were randomly selected from five secondary schools in the south east of Nigeria. Four hypotheses were formulated and a research question was raised to guide the study. The data collected were analyzed using statistical means and z-test. The result showed significant difference in the mean scores of male and female students in originality and fluency. It showed no significant differences in elaboration and total creativity grades. Based on the findings, recommendations were made that, stakeholders should give equal opportunity to every child be it male or female. Again, appropriate measures should be given to students to utilize their creative potentials.
