Abstract
The prime goal of higher education institutes is to develop critical, rational and logical
expression and analytical thoughts to solve individuals and groups’ glitches. The current study
tries to find out the relationship between creativity and level of tolerance at the University of
Peshawar, Pakistan. The study was conducted under mix method research through the
concurrent triangulation technique. The qualitative data was collected through ten Focus Group
Discussions around six to nine respondents in each group from different disciplines and
quantitative data was collected through an already established Interpersonal Tolerance Scale.
The mentioned relationship was established through in-depth discussion on creativity and
critical thinking and teachers’ reflective teaching practices. The study finds out that university
teachers do not encourage students for creativity, critical and analytical thinking through their
reflective teaching practices that make students intolerant. Students are not free and open to
give an opinion on any issue in the academic discussion. They are intentionally kept in a fearful
and tense situation that they do not dare to ask critical and analytical questions.
