with low creativity usually see process and challenge as burdens. The more activities they have to do, the more burdens they will have.
In short, it can be said that students with high creativity like challenges and activities which enable them to explore their ideas and to
bring about creative thinking. Meanwhile, students with low creativity do not really like those activities because they like simple, guided and
straightforward activities.
3. Interaction between teaching approaches and students’ creativity
Process approach focuses more on the process. It has several stages each of which gives students opportunity to explore their ideas. Students
with high creativity will see this as a good opportunity to explore and develop their own fresh ideas, while students with low creativity will see
this as burdens and tiring stages. Moreover, they will be more couraged in doing the writing since writing is considered as a challege to do. Further,
process approach tends to be student-centered. In this teacher-less- dominant situation, students with high creativity will get freedom and
good chance to express their selves and ideas. They surely do not like to be tightly controlled by the teacher. In this matter, it is clear that the process
approach will be more suitable for students with high creativity. After all, this description of theories of process approach leads to an understanding
that process approach is more effective for students having high creativity. On the contrary, product approach, which tends to be more teacher-
centered, will give opportunities for students with low creativity to finish

their work soon because they do not have to think hard since the teacher has prepared them with the models to follow. In general, they do not like
challenges and prefer to be guided by the teacher. In this case, the product approach is supposed to be very suitable for students with low creativity.
They will also see any kind of activities including in the stages which less challenging and less time-consuming. This description of theories of
product approach leads to an understanding that product approach is more effective for students having low creativity.
Based on the statement, it can be assumed that process approach is suitable for the students who have high creativity and product approach is
suitable for the students who have low creativity. Therefore, teaching approaches and creativity are supposed to have interaction effect toward
students’ writing skill.
