Abstract: Creative question is not a new technique in Bangladesh education context. It would be wanted to measure student‟s creativity through paper pencil test. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of creative questioning to measure secondary students‟creativity in Bangladesh. Firstly we have reviewed the questions as per phrasing criteria and practicing criteria for identifying the nature of creative question and then confirmed it with the students and teachers as they are the practitioners. It is found that one-fourth of the questions measured the students‟ remembering leve l in phrasing criteria while it was more than three-fourth in practicing criteria. Mainly most of the questions of Bangladesh and global studies and general science wanted to measure students‟ knowledge level although it should be maintained higher order thinking level questions. However, it was positive that the students are reading their textbooks more to answer creative question? Teachers are trying to measure students‟ creativity inside and outside the classroom through creative questions but their initiative fails to do the same as students commonly depend on the available guide/note books. This study recommends that a committee of expert teachers might be formed in every district to prepare creative questions and serve it to all schools of a district. And teacher‟s training is needed to be more intensive emphasizing on construction of question papers. Finally, effective teaching learning method might be used in classroom so that students would be encouraged to at least understand topics not memorize.

This study has been conducted following mixed method research. The data have been collected from 30 Secondary Schools in Rangamati, Bandarban and Khagrachori districts. The primary data have been collected through school information schedule, classroom observation, checklists, interview schedule, and FGD guidelines. Following mixed method analysis it is found that the secondary schools are suffering for scarcity of teachers and teacher-students ratio is quite manageable. The ethnic students have limited opportunities to study in Science and Commerce groups whereas they have full opportunities to study in Humanities group. Furthermore, infrastructural facilities were especially classroom setup was found poor in the secondary schools located in the ethnic areas. However, majority of the school building is pacca i.e., made of brick and cement in the ethnic areas. The sitting arrangement of the secondary schools is .traditional. Most of the Secondary Schools have tube-well as the main source of drinking water at the school premises. Almost all the schools have separate toilets for the teachers in both areas. Conversely, students are facing various problem like financial problem, communication problem, security problem, school and home related problem. To overcome this situation government should take necessary action from the development of ethnic Secondary Education. Specifically, they should take initiatives to teacher recruitment, infrastructural development, financial assistance, building awareness and improve communication system in the ethnic areas.
