The impact of interactive activities on the development of critical and creative thinking

Abstract

Contemporary education emphasizes the development of critical and creative thinking skills, which are crucial to both professional success and personal growth. Interactive learning environments, particularly in language learning, encourage active participation and constructive feedback. This article examines the impact of interactive activities on the development of these important skills, as well as the practical implementation of various educational strategies. By integrating a variety of pedagogical techniques and technological tools, teachers can better support students in developing the critical and creative abilities needed to navigate a dynamic and complex world. Additionally, the article examines the challenges of assessing these skills and offers strategies for addressing them. As the educational environment continues to evolve, the inclusion of interactive activities will remain a vital strategy for advancing higher-order cognitive processes
