Formation of creative thinking among students in the digital educational environment

Abstract

The study aims to address the processes and methods for the development of creative thinking among students in the context of using digital educational tools and technologies. During the research, a survey was conducted with the participation of students of the Kyrgyz State University named after I. Arabaev to study their experience of using digital educational materials. The survey of students revealed the importance of creative thinking in the context of the educational environment, as well as its relationship with other cognitive skills, such as logical thinking and analytical abilities. The study highlighted that these interrelationships complement each other, enriching the educational process and contributing to the formation of complex thinking in students. However, the results of group surveys showed that the use of digital educational resources led to a significant increase in the proportion of students with high and medium levels of creativity, as well as a decrease in the proportion of students with low levels of creativity. This indicates the positive impact of digital technologies on the development of creativity among students. Logical thinking, which aims to systematise and analyse information for consistent solutions, and creative thinking, which generates new ideas and non-standard approaches for problem-solving, and synergistic interactions to ensure the development of critical thinking and intellectual growth. Analytical skills are substantial in the successful implementation of creative ideas, ensuring their structuring, evaluation and analysis. The use of digital technologies in the educational process has a significant positive impact on the development of students’ creativity. These technologies not only stimulate creative thinking but also enrich the learning process, making it more interesting and attractive to students.
