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 2023-04-27T12:06:07Z 2023-04-27T12:06:07Z 2023-04-01 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Marianna Ostrovska,Kateryna Margitych,Nadiia Bryzhak,Ihor Bopko,Marianna Bedevelska (2023).
