The purpose of this study is to investigate the manifestation of students’ creative potential through active learning methods in Azerbaijan. In contemporary pedagogy, the development of creative and critical thinking skills is essential for the education of gifted children. The study involved 85 students and 77 teachers, and the impact of active learning methods such as debates, role-playing games, and brainstorming on creativity was evaluated through surveys. The results indicate that although active learning methods generally have a positive eff ect, there are certain challenges in implementation and insuffi cient teacher preparedness. Therefore, it is considered crucial to enhance teachers’ professionalism and optimize the educational environment in the future.
