The Effects of School Governance Participation on Creativity in Basic Education Students

Abstract

Fostering students’ creativity is a crucial step in the implementation of the national innovation-driven development strategy. The school environment, particularly the opportunity for the students to participate in school governance, has profound impacts on creative skill development in the students. Currently, there is no conclusive conceptualization of student participation in school governance, and the mechanism of its influence on students’ creativity remains unclear. To address the gap in the literature, this study adopts the mixed-method research design to analyze the dimensions of student participation in school governance as well as its effects on students’ creativity.
