Abstract
The current study, which uses a survey approach, aims to identify middle school students who visit BILSEMs (Science and Art Centers) in terms of their creativity and learning preferences and to look into the impact of various factors on these traits. In the 2021'2022 academic year, 214 fifth, sixth, and seventh graders were chosen using the purposive sampling technique. The 'How Creative Are You?' scale, 'Kolb Learning Style Inventory,' and a personal information form were used as data gathering tools. The study's findings indicate that the creativity of the participating students is above medium, and the majority have 'converging' learning styles. At the same time, the minority has 'diverging' learning styles, that gender, grade level, type of school, BILSEM program, and family income level have no bearing on the children's creativity, and learning styles vary significantly depending on these factors. Additionally, there was no discernible link between the students' learning preferences and creativity.
