Abstract
Purpose — This paper builds the structure dimension of the school sports atmosphere, develops the corresponding measuring tool, discusses the relation between the school sports atmosphere and the scientific creativity of middle school students. Methods — Research methods combining theory with empirical evidence, including interview survey method, psychological measurement method, mathematical statistics, etc. Conclusion — The school sports atmosphere covers 13 items in three dimensions: self-identification, teacher-student trust, and school environment. The overall Cronbachα value of the scale is 0.865. The two dimensions of self-identification and teacher-student trust can significantly positively predict the product improvement ability, experimental design ability and technical product design ability of middle school students' scientific creativity. School environment can positively predict the seven dimensions of scientific creativity of middle school students.
