Résumé
The aim of this study was to determine the influence of the creative projects method on the learning
motivation of primary schoolers. The following methods were used for this purpose: semi-structured
interviews, surveys. The Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT) and the Motivated Strategies for
Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) were used. Mathematical methods of data processing, Pearson’s test,
Cohen’s kappa, Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were applied. The study involved 796 third-grade
primary schoolers and 39 primary school teachers. It was found that almost half of the teachers do not
use the creative projects method in primary school. They believe that pupils do not yet have the
necessary skills and abilities. Teachers who use this method note its positive impact on the growth of
students’ cognitive activity in class. The authors established that the creative projects method
contributes to the growth of the creativity level. It also enhances the learning motivation of primary
schoolers. An average of 10% increase in the academic performance of third-grade pupils was
observed over the six months. Therefore, the creative projects method contributes to the enhancement
of students’ activity, their level of creativity, stimulates motivation and increases their success. Future
research should be focused on studying the influence of the creative projects method on the
motivation of students in all education grades
