The present article investigates the identification of the components that contribute to the development of creativity in junior high school students in geography. The statistical population consists of junior high school teachers in Dhi Qar, 340 people, of whom 181 (110 women and 71 men) were selected using the Morgan table. The measurement tool for this study was a 102-question questionnaire developed by the researcher, of which 96 questions were approved, which was collected through interviews and a review of global and national theories and then sent to the sample group. The validity of the questionnaire was examined through concurrent validity and reliability was calculated using Cronbach's alpha. Finally, it was analyzed using an exploratory factor analysis test of the type of principal component analysis. The results of the factor analysis indicate that the components of creativity development in geography include 21 components, which are: technological skills (11.30), family attitude (10.62), family culture (10.57), organizational structure (10.25), resources Finance (9.79), management (9.30), educational system (8.92), goal setting and planning (8.57), educational content (8.25), learning strategies (7.97), creativity training (7.90), evaluation (6.80), supportive culture (5.57), support for differences (5.43), growth and initiative opportunities (5.33), infrastructure (5.05), technical and equipment support (4.98), educational space (4.87).
