 Bu araştırma okul öncesi öğretmenlerinin yaratıcılık ile ilgili görüşlerini ve planlarında okul öncesi dönemde yaratıcılığı geliştiren fen etkinliklerine yer verme durumlarını ortaya çıkarma amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklem grubunu Uşak ili milli eğitim bakanlığına bağlı resmi anasınıfı ve anaokullarında görev yapan 15 okul öncesi öğretmenlerini oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada okul öncesi öğretmenlerine; Yaratıcılık terimini nasıl tanımlarsınız? ve Planlarınızda çocukların yaratıcılıklarını geliştirecek fen etkinliklerine yer verir misiniz? Niçin? soruları sorulmuş, okul öncesi öğretmenlerinin verdikleri cevaplar yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu vasıtası ile elde edilmiştir. Örnek olay yönteminin kullanıldığı bu çalışmada yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formuyla elde edilen sonuçlar betimsel analiz tekniğiyle değerlendirilip, tematik analiz yoluyla verilerin analizleri yapılmıştır. Araştırma bulgularında, okul öncesi öğretmenlerinin yaratıcılık ile ilgili tanımlarında orijinallik, yenilik, özgünlük, sosyal kabul ve sosyal faydası olma, özgür bir ortamda farklı şey ya da ürünler üretme kavramlarına yoğunlaştıkları görülmüştür. Okul öncesi öğretmenlerinin okul öncesi dönemde yaratıcılığı geliştiren fen etkinliklerine planlarında yer verme durumlarına bakıldığında öğretmenlerin büyük çoğunluğunun çocukların yaratıcılığını geliştiren fen etkinliklerine planlarında yer verdikleri görülmüştür. Çalışmada ileriye dönük, yaratıcılığı geliştirecek fen programı ve fen etkinliği uygulamalarına yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur.
