Abstract

The goal of this study was to analyze the practices aimed at promoting scientific creativity among adolescent students, as evaluated in empirical articles published between 2018 and 2022. Research pursuits were conducted in four databases. The results revealed that the practices proved to be effective and were associated with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) approaches, technological support, teaching and learning methods, and the assessment of cognitive and behavioral characteristics of students. Further research is recommended in national contexts to investigate strategies for fostering scientific creativity among adolescent students.
