The study is aimed at identifying strategies that could be employed in fostering creativity in secondary school physics students and improving secondary school students’ attitude towards the study of physics for sustainable technological development in Abia State of Nigeria. All the 80 physics teachers in the state were used for the study. The instrument for data collection was the researcher’s developed structured questionnaire of the Likert type. The reliability of the instrument was obtained as r = 0.89. Five research questions and one null hypothesis guided the study. Data collected was analyzed using mean for the research questions and Chi-Square(X 2 ) statistics for the hypothesis. Findings revealed that teachers agreed that learning activities like brainstorming, problem solving, openended discussion, cooperative learning among others help to foster creativity in physics students while employment of qualified/professional physics teachers to teach the subject, provision of adequate instructional materials/equipments, provision and adequate use of teaching aids and tools, adequate use of recommended textbooks, intensive funding of schools by managements/government, proper use of the library by both students and teachers, adequate motivation of both teachers and students, conducive and comfortable learning environment and adequate use of the physics laboratory are all strategies that could be used to improve secondary school student’s attitude towards the study of physics for sustainable technological development in Abia State of Nigeria.
