Developing Creativity in Primary School Students Through Problem-Based Learning

Creativity is a crucial skill for the 21st century, especially for young learners in primary education. Problem-Based Learning (PBL) has emerged as an effective pedagogical approach to fostering creativity by engaging students in real-world problems and encouraging critical thinking. This paper explores the theoretical foundations of PBL and its role in developing creativity in primary school students. The study examines historical perspectives, provides definitions of key terms, and reviews scientific perspectives on creativity development. Additionally, the research outlines methodologies, discusses results, and presents conclusions on the effectiveness of PBL in enhancing creative thinking among young learners.
