Keywords: teaching goal orientation, self-efficacy of creative teaching, creative teaching behavior Abstract The third industrial revolution starts a new brainpower-dominating knowledge economy era. Facing multicultural society, teachers must teach in more creative ways. Based on the 6-Dimensional Achievement Goal Orientation theory, this research investigated the relationship between the teaching goal orientation and creative teaching behavior of elementary school teachers in Keelung. A survey method and hierarchical regression analysis was used to test the mediating effects of self-efficacy of creative teaching between achievement goals and creative teaching behavior. Participants were 311 elementary teachers in Keelung. The results are as below: (1)Task-approach, self-approach, performance-approach, self-avoidance and performance-avoidance was positively related to self-efficacy and teaching behavior, whereas task-avoidance showed negatively related to self-efficacy and no significant relationship with creative teaching behavior. (2) Creative teaching self-efficacy mediated the relationship between achievement goals and creative teaching behavior, in which task-approach, self-approach, performance-approach, task-avoidance, exerted positive mediating effects. According to the results, the elementary teachers in Keelung do teach creatively, but due to their work content, they show differences to some degree. Therefore, school administration should: first, support teachers and to help teachers communicate with the students’ parents. Second, try to enhance teachers’ self-efficacy for creative teaching. Then teachers will be more confident to teach in creative ways.
