Creativity is becoming increasingly important in modern society (Beghetto and Kaufman 2014; Richardson and Mishra 2018; Yeh et al. 2012). Specifically, as students are the key drivers of societal development, universities around the world have been taking on the mission of fostering creative individuals and producing creativity. Accordingly, researchers and educators are attempting to identify predictors that facilitate student creativity, such as teacher behaviors (e.g., encouragement and other teacher behaviors) (Chan and Yuen 2014). More recently, researchers have begun investigating the role of the classroom environment (Tsai et al. 2015). Notably missing from the literature is a thorough examination of the creative learning environment, despite suggestions by scholars that student creativity can be nurtured by educators who focus greater effort on building a learning environment that highlights the value of creativity (Davies et al. 2013; Richardson and Mishra 2018). Therefore, a major purpose of this study is to address the connection between a creative learning environment and student creativity by identifying several important intervening mechanisms.
