CREATIVITY AS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF LOGICAL THINKING IN STUDENTS

Abstract

Creativity and logical thinking are often perceived as distinct cognitive processes. However, recent research suggests a strong interplay between creativity and logical thinking, especially in educational settings. This article explores the role of creativity in fostering the development of logical thinking skills in students. By reviewing existing literature and empirical studies, we highlight how creativity enhances problem-solving abilities, promotes divergent thinking, and cultivates flexible cognitive strategies. Moreover, we discuss practical implications for educators to integrate creative approaches into the curriculum to optimize the development of logical thinking in students.
