Abstract: This article explores the interplay between critical thinking, problem-based learning, and creative thinking as powerful educational strategies to strengthen intellectual development and problem-solving skills. The paper highlights the significance of cultivating critical thinking skills, such as analysis, evaluation, and reasoning, within the context of problem-based learning environments. It also examines how the integration of creative thinking techniques, such as ideation, flexibility, and originality, can enhance the effectiveness of problem- based learning approaches. The article further explores practical instructional strategies and assessment methods that promote the development and application of these cognitive processes. Insights from existing research, theoretical frameworks, and practical examples are synthesized to offer a comprehensive understanding of the synergistic relationship among critical thinking, problem-based learning, and creative thinking. By harnessing the collective power of these cognitive dimensions, educators can equip learners with the essential competencies needed to navigate complex real-world challenges and thrive in an increasingly dynamic and innovative society.
