Abstract
This article discusses the importance of creativity in everyday life, especially in the classroom where creativity has all kinds of roles. Besides creativity, the article emphasizes the importance of teaching methods by which students learn more easily, develop critical thinking, change social forms, get rid of their fear, suppress boredom and are intrinsically and extrinsically motivated for most activities in which they actively participate.
The aim of this article is to examine the attitudes of teachers and students towards teaching methods as possible incentives of student’s creativity. Based on the triangulation which is used in the research, results are collected with the help of surveys, evaluation of some modern teaching methods and interviews (with teachers and students). Research results showing that teaching methods affect incentives of student’s creativity, creating a positive environment, motivate students for instructional content, suppress boredom and encourage students to divergent thinking.
