INNOVATIVE METHODS OF DEVELOPING CREATIVE THINKING IN CHILDREN
Abstract
This thesis analyzes innovative methods for developing creative thinking in children from a pedagogical perspective. In today’s digital education environment, it is becoming increasingly important for pupils not only to acquire ready-made knowledge, but also to think independently, approach problems in new ways, ask questions, generate ideas and find creative solutions. The development of creative thinking at the primary education stage has a significant impact on a child’s further intellectual, social and personal development. The thesis highlights the pedagogical potential of problem-based learning, project-based learning, the STEAM approach, digital technologies, artificial intelligence tools, didactic games and interactive methods. It also substantiates the need to integrate innovative methods into the educational process in a purposeful, age-appropriate and safe manner
