Abstract :
This article explores the interplay between
critical thinking, problem-based learning, and creative
thinking as powerful educational strategies to strengthen
intellectual development and problem-solving skills. The
paper highlights the significance of cultivating critical
thinking skills, such as analysis, evaluation, and
reasoning, within the context of problem-based learning
environments. It also examines how the integration of
creative thinking techniques, such as ideation, flexibility,
and originality, can enhance the effectiveness of
problem- based learning approaches. The article further
explores practical instructional strategies and assessment
methods that promote the development and application
of these cognitive processes. Insights from existing
research, theoretical frameworks, and practical
examples are synthesized to offer a comprehensive
understanding of the synergistic relationship among
critical thinking, problem-based learning, and creative
thinking. By harnessing the collective power of these
cognitive dimensions, educators can equip learners with
the essential competencies needed to navigate complex
real-world challenges and thrive in an increasingly
dynamic and innovative society.
