Study Participants 
Once I received approval from the school district to work with teachers and students, I 
asked building administrators to volunteer a current eighth grade English language arts teacher with 
whom I might work. That teacher introduced the opportunity to participate in this study to her 
students and the interested students were given an explanatory/consent letter for their parents to 
read and sign (see appendix for sample letter). Students whose parents consented to their child’s 
participation in the study were considered potential study participants and a single boy and girl were 
chosen randomly from that group. I chose a boy and a girl to compare possible differences in 
perception of creativity between genders. Perception of creativity, being an abstract concept, could 
be influenced by the individual’s stage of cognitive development and this could vary across genders 
for the same grade level. Because eighth grade is a significant time for adolescents’ developmentally 
with their departure from childhood and their embarking on their teenage high school experience, I 
felt that interviewing eight graders to understand their perceptions of creativity would provide rich, 
honest responses to consider as my primary data source. Ideally, regardless of gender, age, race, 
ethnicity, socio-economic status or other differentiating traits, each of the student study participants’ 
responses are forth-coming, enthusiastic, and truthful.

The female participant whom I interviewed, Maddie (her self-selected pseudonym), was 13 
years old at the time of the interview and self-identified as being creative. Maddie identified herself 
as an artist and art, particularly drawing, was the outward expression or output of her creativity. The 
male student, Marty (his self-selected pseudonym), was also 13 at the time of the interview and also 
self-identified as being creative. He said that his creative pursuits included making movies, writing 
stories and writing how-to books. The teacher, who I will refer to as Mrs. Conrad, is a veteran 
teacher, teaches both language arts and social studies at the middle school level, and has taught at 
this particular school for fifteen years.
