Abstract
This study sought to establish the effect of Art and design on student creativity of students in
secondary schools in Pallisa District. The study objectives were; to examine the effect of
Participation rate on student’s creativity in selected secondary schools in Pallisa District; to
assess the effect of school exhibition and display opportunity on student’s creativity in selected
secondary schools in Pallisa District; and to investigate the effect of student Curriculum
integration facilities on student’s creativity in selected secondary schools in Pallisa District. The
study population is 100 respondents from the three selected secondary schools in Pallisa District.
The study employed stratified random sampling techniques in coming up with a sample size of 83
respondents. The primary data collection methods used was a questionnaire. However, interview
guides were also used to collect qualitative data. The collected data was analyzed using
descriptive statistics in SPSS (Statistical package for the social science) version 20. Linear and
Multiple regression analysis were also used to determine the effect of the independent variables
on dependent variables. The study found that Participation rate is significant in predicting
student creativity with R square value = 0.124 and β = .352 with p-value = 0.000<0.05. The
regression coefficient of Participation rate is positive and significant in predicting the student
creativity. Further the study found that exhibition and display opportunity had R square value =
0.261 and β = .511 with a p-value = 0.000<0.05. The regression coefficient of exhibition and
display opportunity is positive and significant in predicting student creativity. The study further
found that Curriculum integration had significant effect in predicting student creativity with
p values of 0.000 less than 0.05, R square value = 0.278 and β = .528. The study recommends that
the management of schools should put more emphasis on Participation rate through provision of
balanced diet to students and staff, providing adequate food rations to the students to improve
student creativity while studying. The study additionally suggests that the management of schools
should continue to promote exhibition and display opportunity in the school premises through
construction of good drainage systems, regular cleaning of dining halls and kitchens, compound
and dormitories, provision of secure dust bins to collect rubbish. Finally, the study recommends
that Management of schools should continue to improve on Curriculum integration services
through integrating the art and design in their teaching subjects and considered compulsory
mainly to improve on students creativity
