The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between a principal’s transformational leadership and creative teaching behavior of physical education teachers at junior and senior high schools in Taiwan (at the individual level) and the cross-level effect on creative teaching behaviors of physical education teachers in an innovative school climate (at the school level) and the moderator effect of an innovative school climate on the relationship between a principal’s transformational leadership and creative teaching behaviors of physical education teachers. A total of 800 questionnaires were distributed to physical education teachers at 59 junior and senior high schools and 477 valid surveys were collected for data analysis. Using hierarchical linear modeling, we found that at the individual level, a principal’s transformational leadership has a positive impact on creative teaching behaviors of physical education teachers, and at the school level, an innovative school climate has a positive impact on creative teaching behaviors (at the person level) of physical education teachers. An innovative school climate at the school level has no moderating effects on the relationship between a principal’s transformational leadership and creative teaching behaviors of physical education teachers. This study provides implications and applications for cross-level studies, and builds the foundation for future multilevel research.

The Quality of education depends on the quality of teachers. For nourishing the creative potentials of children, creative teaching is required. In this type of education, the available human and material resources are utilized in such a striking way that satisfactory results are ensured. Teachers using such methods can enhance their teaching competency. In the present study, an attempt is made to investigate the relationship between general teaching competency and the attitude towards creative teaching. The study was carried out on a sample of 120 B.Ed. trainees of Aurangabad City. The data was collected through the General Teaching Competency Scale (GTCS) developed by Passi and Lalitha and the Attitude Scale of Creative Teaching (ASCT) by Shukla. The result reveals that there is positive but low and negligible correlation between general teaching competency and attitude towards creative teaching. Results also portray that the degree of general teaching competency is high and attitude towards creative teaching is also positive.
