Abstract
This article explores strategies for designing learning tasks that stimulate creative thinking among students. As creativity becomes increasingly important in the knowledge-based economy, educational institutions must adopt pedagogical approaches that promote innovation. Through an analysis of instructional methods, such as open-ended tasks, project-based learning, and the use of digital tools, this study highlights effective practices to foster creativity in classrooms. Findings suggest that task design, assessment style, and classroom environment significantly influence students' creative engagement.
