Future teachers require not only subject knowledge but also robust intellectual competence – the critical thinking, problem-solving, and creative abilities needed to navigate 21st-century education. This article explores how creative pedagogy can be integrated into higher education (particularly in Uzbekistan’s pedagogical universities) to develop such intellectual competence in pre-service teachers. We situate the discussion in the context of Uzbek higher education reforms and international trends. Uzbekistan’s recent educational strategies emphasize modern, student-centered teaching and the cultivation of creativity and critical thinking in learners. We conclude that fostering creative pedagogy in undergraduate and graduate pedagogical programs not only enhances future teachers’ intellectual competence but also aligns with national education goals and international best practices.
