Abstract :

In the article a conceptual model is developed with the core strategies and stages of its implementation as well as the framework for integration process, focusing in identifying core competences incorporating creative task into the curriculum and proving opportunities for showcasing student work. In the text are listed examples of creative task in the field of Electrical science, Electronics and Computer science. It examines the critical role of creativity and critical thinking in secondary vocational education, emphasizing the implementation of innovative pedagogical models. It identifies key challenges faced by students in engaging with individual creative tasks, including the generation of novel ideas, the development of effective problem-solving strategies, efficient time management, and the articulation of concepts. The article highlights the Design Thinking process as a human-centered approach to problem-solving, alongside the Project-based Learning (PBL) framework, which facilitates the application of theoretical knowledge to authentic, real-world projects. By integrating these methodologies, educators can enhance students’ practical skills and better prepare them for future vocational endeavors. Furthermore, the article provides illustrative examples of creative tasks, such as designing marketing campaigns, developing product prototypes, and formulating business plans, which serve to contextualize students’ learning experiences. Ultimately, this exploration aims to equip educators with effective strategies for fostering creativity within vocational education, thereby enriching student learning outcomes and professional readiness.
