Abstract

This article explores the role of scientific research activities in fostering creative thinking and developing core subject competencies in students. The study examines how participation in research projects encourages critical analysis, problem-solving, independent inquiry, and practical application of knowledge. By engaging in experiments, data collection, and analysis, students not only strengthen their understanding of core subjects such as biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics but also cultivate creativity and innovative thinking. The article emphasizes the pedagogical significance of integrating scientific research into educational practices to enhance students’ analytical, practical, and cognitive skills while promoting active learning and intellectual curiosity.
