Abstract

This article analyzes the issue of developing divergent thinking in students using digital technologies from a scientific and pedagogical point of view. The relevance of the study is based on the need to develop creativity, independent thinking and innovative approaches to problem situations in the modern education system. Divergent thinking is the process of putting forward many alternative ideas when solving a problem, finding unusual solutions and developing creative thinking, which is considered an important competency in today's digital society.
