THE MECHANISM OF DEVELOPING STUDENTS’ CREATIVE ABILITIES IN ZOOLOGY LESSONS IN HIGHER EDUCATION
Abstract
This article analyzes effective mechanisms for developing students' creative abilities in the process of teaching zoology in higher education institutions. The role of interactive methods, independent research tasks, interdisciplinary integration, and information and communication technologies in shaping creative thinking is studied in detail. Modern methods of assessing creativity are also described. The research results indicate a deepening of students' knowledge, improvement of practical skills, and an increase in motivation for creative activity.
