Abstract

Schools worldwide are increasingly focusing on cultivating students' creative thinking due to the growing demand for creative talents. However, traditional education methods may not be effective in fostering creativity. This study uses literature research to investigate the impact of teacher-student interaction and STEM teaching models on student creativity. Research has shown that teacher-student interaction, specifically emotional support, teaching support, and classroom management, can have a positive impact on students' creativity during the learning process. Additionally, the STEM teaching mode has been found to enhance creative thinking to some extent. STEM education has a significant impact on enhancing creative thinking. It focuses on cross-disciplinary integration, stimulating students' innovative thinking and problem-solving abilities by guiding them to engage in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. In the STEM classroom, students are required to integrate knowledge from various disciplines to solve problems. This interdisciplinary approach helps to break down traditional disciplinary boundaries and broaden students' cognitive horizons.
