The social-economic and cultural Levels repercussions of the family on the Children’s creative thinking degree (the vocational training sector as a model)

Abstract

The present study aims to identify the repercussions of the socioeconomic and cultural levels of families on the degree of creative thinking of their apprentice children in the vocational training sector and to reveal any disparities in their reactions to the creative thinking components, such as fluency, originality, and flexibility, based on the many variables above. The study was conducted on a group of 28 apprentices from the El Eulma Vocational Training Centre in Setif Province, where we relied on a descriptive approach and by using three scales: the creative thinking ability test, the socio-economic level test, and the cultural level test of their families, we came to the conclusion that there was no statistically significant difference between the mean responses of apprentices from high socio-economic families and the mean responses of their counterparts from low socio-economic families to Sayid Khairallah's test of creative thinking ability and its three scales at the 0.05 level. This meant that the apprentices' levels of creative thinking were unaffected by their families' socioeconomic circumstances. Conversely, some findings indicate that there is a statistically significant difference between the mean performance of apprentices from high-cultural-level families and their counterparts from low-cultural-level families at the 0.05 level. The researcher suggests that the study of this topic be expanded to include other variables, such as the apprentices' gender, intelligence, and educational level.
