This thesis explores strategies for fostering innovative and creative thinking among students within the context of technological education. The study emphasizes the importance of integrating theoretical knowledge with practical application to enhance students’ problem-solving, critical thinking, and innovation skills. The research examines pedagogical approaches, including project-based learning (PBL), interactive and collaborative teaching methods, and creative workshops, which contribute to the development of both cognitive and metacognitive competencies. The findings aim to provide evidence-based recommendations for educators to cultivate students’ innovative capacities effectively.
