Abstract

Developing creativity in students is necessary throughout the learning process in higher education. Correspondingly, this study aims to elaborate on the role of lecturers in developing student creativity. This study was conducted through a qualitative approach with a case study design to identify the lecturers’ strong role as implemented in three universities. Ninety students and four lecturers purposively obtained the data by establishing the creative personality scale, creative thinking ability test, interviews, and documentation; the data on creative personality and creative thinking were analyzed using descriptive analysis, while the interview data was analyzed through thematic analysis. The results suggest three lecturers’ roles in developing creativity, such as providing cognitive and emotional support, using appropriate learning methods, and collaborating with students. The findings, however, signify the importance of improving lecturers’ ability to enhance the understanding of lecturers’ role as required in developing student creativity. Equally important, further research is expectedly to implement different approaches by elaborating mix-methods between the type of support for students and the kind of collaboration with students. Additionally, an experimental method is eligible to test different learning models in developing creativity.
