Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The study participants (20 students) were selected using purposive sampling. To analyze the data, the coding method attributed to Strauss and Corbin was used. The validity of findings was ensured through member assessment, deep description, and prolonged exposure to the research environment. In the present study, three main themes in students’ views of creative teaching were achieved that included professional characteristics of the lecturer in teaching, students’ characteristics, and learning conditions. Professional development of teachers, students’ characteristics, and learning conditions are factors that determine the quality of creative teaching.
