This research has been carried out by semi- experimental method and it is aimed at interpretation of necessity for paying attention to training of creativity in curricula of teachers' training centers. For this purpose, two groups (n1=n2=90) of students from first graders in primary schools in Tehran City Area no 7 were chosen by means of randomized cluster sampling technique in academic year 2010-11. The given data were gathered by means of Form- B of Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT) at two stages of pre- test and post-test. The results derived from revision of data and or by application of covariance analysis indicated that there is a significant difference among tested and control groups (p= 0.05). In other words, the growth rate of creativity in students who were taught by well- trained teachers in creativity field was higher than those children that were taught by the teachers who had not been trained in this educational field.
