Background and Objectives: Creativity is a teachable skill, and textbooks play a crucial role in nurturing it among students. By analyzing textbooks, we can evaluate the current educational landscape and develop programs to enhance the quality of learning. This study assesses how effectively the 11th-grade chemistry textbook incorporates originality, fluency, and flexibility as key components of creativity development. A thorough examination of this textbook can help us identify its strengths and weaknesses, providing insights and strategies to foster creativity in students. Methods: This research is a descriptive survey employing quantitative content analysis, focusing on the 11th-grade chemistry textbook published in 2022. The study sample was identical to the statistical population. To evaluate the content, a researcher-designed form was designed based on originality, fluency, and flexibility. Subject matter experts, curriculum specialists, and chemistry educators reviewed its formal and content validity, and finding it acceptable. Holsti's correlation coefficient was used to assess reliability, and resulting was 0.78. Findings: The focus on the indicators of originality, fluency, and flexibility throughout the book was 0.77%, 1.93%, and 0.8%, respectively. Conclusion: The current textbook's neglect of creativity components highlights its weakness in developing essential skills. To better prepare for future challenges, it is advisable to reassess and emphasize the contexts for nurturing these skills in textbooks.
