EFFECTIVE METHODS FOR DEVELOPING CREATIVE THINKING IN PRIMARY SCHOOL PUPILS

Abstract

This article discusses effective methods for developing creative thinking in primary school pupils. In contemporary education, it is increasingly important for pupils not only to acquire established knowledge but also to think independently, adopt new approaches, find solutions to problems, and express their ideas freely. The article explores the potential of interactive teaching methods, educational games, group activities, creative tasks, and modern information technologies in primary education. It also examines the teacher’s role in developing pupils’ creative thinking skills and ways of making lessons engaging and effective. The appropriate and purposeful use of these methods can help increase pupils’ participation, develop their ability to think independently, and improve learning outcomes.
