It analyzes the role of digital technologies in the educational process and their potential to stimulate students' creative engagement. Theoretical approaches to CrT development, such as constructivism, problem-based learning, and gamified learning, are explored, demonstrating their integration within the digital environment. Special attention is given to modern models of digital technology implementation, including SAMR (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition) and TPACK (Technology, Pedagogy, and Content Knowledge), which enable more effective integration of platforms into the learning process.
