Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between the frequency of project-based assessments and the enhancement of creativity among secondary school students. Employing a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from a sample of 100 students, 55 teachers and 02 academic masters across two secondary schools. The findings reveal a significant positive correlation between the regular implementation of project-based assessments and elevated levels of creativity in students. Specifically, students who frequently engaged in project-based tasks demonstrated higher creative thinking and problem-solving skills compared to those with less exposure. The results suggest that project-based assessments are a valuable tool in fostering creativity, an essential skill in today’s dynamic educational landscape. However, challenges such as time constraints and resource limitations were identified, indicating a need for further support and resources to maximize the effectiveness of these assessments. The study concludes by recommending increased professional development for teachers and more structured integration of project-based learning into the curriculum to enhance student creativity further.
