A phenomenological design, as one of the qualitative research designs, was used in this study. The study group consisted of academicians working in the faculty of education of a state university and teacher candidates studying at the same university. Data were collected with a semi-structured interview form prepared by the researcher and analyzed by content analysis. As a result, it was observed that the metaphors developed by the teacher candidates and the academicians varied. It was concluded that teacher candidates mostly identified the concept of creativity with nature and based their metaphors on concepts that generated positive emotions and thoughts. On the other hand, academicians produced metaphors according to their fields of study.  \nKeywords: Creativity, Perception, Academician, Teacher Candidate  \nDOI: 10.29329/epasr.2023.548 .8  \nSubmitted:29 November 2022 Accepted: 01 March 2023 Published: 01 June 2023  \n1Assistant Prof. Dr., Faculty of Education, Bayburt University, Ankara, Türkiye, ORCID:0000-0001-8776-7009  \nCorrespondence: [ztasyurek@bayburt.edu.tr](ztasyurek@bayburt.edu.tr)  \nIntroduction  \nIn our rapidly changing world, traditional values have yielded their place to universal values, and this transition has featured innovative thinking, production, and reasoning as central concepts. Alongside these concepts that have been brought to the fore with such changes, the relevance of creativity has gained even more significance. Creativity entails having original, useful, and new ideas that are valuable (Amabile, 1988, 1997; Yıldırım, 1998; Zhou & Shalley, 2003; Pluer, Beghetto, & Dow, 2004; Milbrandt & Milbrandt, 2011; Robinson, 2016), producing something unique using preestablished facts (Fisher, 2004; Timuçin, 2004; Sözbilir, 2018), seeing the same thing as others but thinking about something different (Alder, 2004), and heading in directions that no one has pursued before. It involves the hope of reaching uncharted places like an explorer (Hegarty, 2014) . Creativity and passion stemming from the desire to explore are traits unique to humans (Yavuz 1989; Keun & Hunt, 2006; Robinson, 2011; Michalko, 2011) . Where there is a human, there is also imagination, which is at the root of creativity. The use of imagination brings with it originality and innovation (Robinson, 2016) . As can be seen, the concept of creativity cannot be explained with a single limited definition. Rather, creativity can be generally defined as the process of creating new perceptions of the world by using the perspective that humankind has developed over time together with the freedom provided by imagination.  \nCreativity is the product of multifaceted thought (Onur & Zorlu, 2017) and it is a mental power that is believed to be inherent in all people (Alder, 2004; Lowenfeld, 1947) . Mental power is highly crucial in the formation of creativity (Ülgen & Fidan 1991), because creative individuals like to think and have inquiring attitudes. They are also sensitive to problems; they feel the need to generate thoughts and develop new ways of thinking due to being aware of their environments (Adams, 2001; Gardner, 2007; Robinson, 2011; Parsıl, 2012) . Every thought that is produced brings with it different possibilities and opens the way to creative thinking. Craft (2000), who presented a similar opinion, stated that an important part of creative thinking occurs with probabilistic thinking.  \nCreative thinking is at the center of human cognition (Amabile, 1997) and represents the ability to generate both new and useful ideas (Hennessey & Amabile, 2010) . At the same time, creative thinking h","cbCaijrchqYIFZsL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijrchqYIFZsL","pdf",513965,25,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Creativity and its definitions\n## Creativity, cognition, and thought processes\n## Perception as a basis for creativity\n## Metaphors and metaphorical thinking","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study aims to reveal how academicians and teacher candidates perceive creativity by exploring their metaphors.\"},{\"question\":\"What research design and data collection method were used?\",\"answer\":\"A phenomenological qualitative design was used.
