Resumen

This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of an educational program centered on problem-based learning in developing of creative thinking in primary school students from the city of Huancavelica, Peru. The approach was quantitative, with a quasi-experimental design. The sample consisted of 50 fifth-grade primary school students from a public educational institution, evenly divided into an experimental group (n=25) and a control group (n=25). An educational program focused on problem-based learning was implemented, and its effectiveness was evaluated using a questionnaire. The results indicate that, during the pretest, most students in both the control group (64%) and the experimental group (72%) had low creative thinking development. However, posttest results indicate that in the control group, the level of creative thinking development remained predominantly low (60%), while in the experimental group, 100% of the students reached a high level of development. Additionally, it was determined that there were no statistically significant differences between the experimental and control groups before the implementation of the educational program (pretest) (U= 241.000; p>0.05). However, after the program's application (posttest), statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups (U= 0.000; p<0.05). In particular, the experimental group achieved results that were different from those of the control group. These findings confirm that implementing the educational program improved creative thinking skills in primary school students from Huancavelica, Peru.
