The teacher is the most important factor in revealing the classroom atmosphere.  The teacher has an important role in revealing the latent powers, creativity potentials of the students and creating the teaching environment suitable for their development. Together with this function, there is an important relationship between healthy, appropriate classroom environments and classroom atmosphere and the creativity levels of the learners. The purpose of this study is to examine the class atmosphere and creativity levels of the students studying at the School of Physical Education and Sports.
