Abstract
The investigation of the level of creative thinking and motivation to learn creative
thinking, and the relationship between both of them, in Jordan is still insufficient due to
lack of interest and research among researchers and scholars. Therefore, this study
examines the relationship between creative thinking and motivation to learn creative
thinking among pre-school children in Jordan. A total of 102 students from one
kindergarten was examined. Parental consent was obtained before the study was
conducted. The result from the analysis posited that there is a medium level of
motivation to learn creative thinking (64.7%). The means of TCAM scores and its
dimensions were: TCAM overall score (M= 68.24, SD= 14.615), Fluency (M= 17.53, SD=
4.776), Originality (M= 25.7, SD= 8.264), and Imagination (M= 25.01, SD= 3.793). In
addition, there is a positive statistically significant correlation (0.573) among the total of
creative thinking scores and the total of motivation to learn creative thin
