FOSTERING CREATIVITY IN THE CLASSROOM: ENCOURAGING DIVERGENT THINKING IN STUDENTS

Main Article Content

Abstract:

In the rapidly evolving landscape of education, fostering creativity and encouraging divergent thinking in students has become increasingly essential. Divergent thinking allows learners to explore multiple perspectives and generate innovative solutions to problems, moving beyond traditional rote learning. This paper explores the concept of divergent thinking, the role of teachers in cultivating creativity, and practical strategies that can be implemented in the classroom. It also addresses common challenges educators face in promoting creative thinking and offers recommendations for creating more dynamic and student-centered learning environments.
