Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the strength of the relationship that existed between creativity of students and their Perceived Classroom Goal Structure and Academic Self-efficacy. The sample of the study includes 430 students of IX and X class students randomly selected from Rohtak, Sonepat, Rewari, and Jhajjar districts of Haryana state. The results suggested that Creativity has no relationship with perceived classroom goal structure and academic achievement. Creativity has a significant negative relationship with students’ disruptive behaviour.
