Abstract

Creativity is one of skills higher education institutions (HEIs) need to develop of the students to address challenges of the 21st century. Through the development of creativity, it is expected that students can meet the ever more complex demands of the workplaces. The identification of students’ creativity is necessary in order for the HEIs to be able to design an effective instructional program to develop it. This creativity identification is also needed to support the implementation of a product-oriented education. Based on the results of identification, it was revealed that generally students’ creativity could be said as being at the level “ordinary/routine”. The fluency aspect was at the highest level of creativity. It goes to say that students’ creativity could still be improved to the level of creative or very creative. It was also revealed that students relatively were unable to recognize the importance of a deep knowledge base and continual work to learn new things the strongest aspects were the openness to new ideas and the active search for new ideas. It can be concluded that there should be attempts from the lecturers to develop students’ creativity.
