Effective instructors often have a creative nature. However, the assessment of creative instructors is something that is very rarely seen in the literature of creativity in Malaysia. In fact, in education, there is little information on the practice of creative instructors. However, there are benefits to study creative instructors: in education, it can describe ways to enhance creativity and enrich teaching practices, and in psychology, it can increase our understanding of the social and interpersonal creativity, and creativity in daily practice. This paper reviews research on creative instructors which was conducted throughout the world.
