Abstract

The evolving landscape of education demands an integration of creativity and innovation in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) curriculum, especially at the secondary level. This literature review examines the role of project-based learning (PBL) as a strategic approach to meet this demand. Drawing from an extensive array of scholarly articles and empirical studies, we explore the impact of PBL in nurturing creativity and innovation among secondary school students engaged in STEM subjects. The synthesis of the literature reveals that PBL not only enhances traditional learning outcomes but also significantly fosters critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a deeper understanding of scientific concepts. The review also highlights how PBL aligns with the pedagogical needs of the 21st century, emphasizing collaborative learning, student-centered approaches, and real-world applications. However, challenges such as resource allocation, teacher training, and curriculum integration are identified. This article contributes to educational discourse by providing insights into effective PBL implementation in STEM education and suggesting areas for future research. It aims to guide educators, curriculum developers, and policy makers in optimizing STEM education to develop the creative and innovative capacities essential for future generations.
