Lamya Hassan Aldewan lamyaa.hassan@uobasrah.edu.iqUniversity of Basra - College of Education and Sports Scienceshttps://orcid.org/0000-0003-0377-6915There is an increasing interest in studying creative abilities in many countries of the world, especially since most research has confirmed that creative people have constructive and great abilities in addressing scientific, economic and social problems and inventing what is new and beneficial to the individual and society, which has called a number of scientists to search for psychological methods. And education to reveal creative people and pledge them to care, guide, develop and benefit from their creative abilities. Our children are our human wealth that we depend on to build and develop alongside other natural resources. Therefore, caring for them is a fundamental duty placed on us as parents and educators. Our schools, especially their early stages, have the greatest responsibility in developing the capabilities of our creative children so that we can Taking confident and rapid steps towards achieving the level of sophistication achieved by the countries of the world. After extensive research, scientists have concluded that the most effective way to develop creative abilities is to prepare different curricula for their development. Since physical education contains various physical and mental activities and activities, through it we can develop the creative abilities that students possess, and in view of the importance of primary school, which is the cornerstone on which the capabilities and energies of individuals are built, and the lack of studies on the creative abilities of this stage, the value and importance of this study is evident. . As for the research problem, what is happening now in primary schools gives an unsatisfactory picture of our ambition, as the curricula used in physical education lessons work to develop some physical qualities, and their goals include other important aspects, including the abilities that students possess, which leads to their frustration, at a time when they could be These curricula will be more effective in developing these abilities if they are prepared in a way that makes the student an effective element in creating what is new and useful. Therefore, the researchers prepared a proposed curriculum for physical education lessons to determine its impact on developing creative abilities compared to the traditional curriculum followed by students in school. .The objectives of the research are to identify the effectiveness of a proposed educational curriculum for physical education lessons in developing creative abilities (fluency, flexibility, originality) among first-year primary school students. Knowing the differences between the results of the proposed curriculum and the traditional curriculum in developing creative abilities. As for the research hypotheses, they are that there are significant differences between the pre- and post-tests of creative abilities (fluency, flexibility, originality) for the experimental group. There are significant differences in the post-tests of creative abilities between the experimental and control groups and in favor of the experimental group. There were (40) students from the first grade of primary school - Hassan bin Thabet School - for the academic year 2001-2002, and the program was for the period from 2/6/2002 until 3/24/2002 and the private courtyard of Khasan bin Thabet Primary School for Boys, Al-Asma’i District/Basra Governorate. We concluded that there were significant differences in the tests of creative abilities (fluency, flexibility, and originality before and after the experimental group, which confirms the effectiveness of the proposed educational curriculum in developing these abilities. And that all creative students are characterized by an intelligence level no less than average, according to what their answers to the (Waksar) intelligence test showed. But not all intelligent people are creative, as some of them were distinguished by intelligence, but their results in tests of creative abilities indicated that they were not creative.We recommended adopting the proposed educational curriculum in physical education lessons for first-year primary school students because of its clear impact on developing their creative abilities, in addition to the goals included in the traditional curriculum. It is necessary to pay attention to the curricula of physical education lessons for all primary school grades and formulate them in a way that develops creative abilities in addition to achieving other goals
