This review article explores the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in enhancing creative thinking skills in students. It examines how PBL aligns with psychological principles and cognitive processes to foster creativity. The study analyzes PBL's psychological and educational merits, project design, student engagement, cognitive development, and the integration of intellectual and affective factors. Findings indicate that PBL is adaptable to cognitive rhythms, enhances information intake and motivation, and improves cognitive engagement and dynamic thinking. PBL's versatility supports personalized education and innovation. The study also addresses challenges in PBL implementation and suggests future research directions. PBL is positioned as a powerful tool for nurturing student creativity, adaptable to various learning preferences and styles. PBL is a student-centered, experiential learning approach rooted in constructivist theory. It emphasizes active engagement in real-world projects, promoting creative thinking and problem-solving. The article outlines four stages of PBL: setting the project theme, autonomous theme building, outcome optimization, and comprehensive summary and assessment. Each stage plays a crucial role in fostering creative thinking and problem-solving skills. The setting of the project theme is critical, as it influences students' creative thinking abilities and learning outcomes. The autonomous theme building stage encourages students to identify requirements and propose solutions, fostering creativity and problem-solving. The outcome optimization stage involves presenting and refining project outcomes, enhancing creative thinking and problem-solving. The comprehensive summary and assessment stage emphasizes feedback and evaluation, which are essential for fostering creativity and learning. PBL aligns with psychological laws and thinking activities, enhancing the educational process. It intensifies input information and stimulates students' learning interest and motivation. The artful design of projects mobilizes students' initiative and enthusiasm in thinking. Timely guidance helps eliminate cognitive barriers and broadens the thinking domain. Positive experiences promote the integration of intellectual and non-intellectual factors, enhancing creativity. PBL is a transformative educational approach that fosters creativity and critical thinking, but faces challenges in implementation. Future research should explore the integration of PBL in diverse educational settings and its effectiveness in interdisciplinary contexts. PBL is a pivotal educational approach that fosters creativity and critical thinking, with potential for further development in diverse educational contexts.This review article explores the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in enhancing creative thinking skills in students.
