Developing creative thinking is one of the key goals of modern education, especially in preparing future science teachers. Creative thinking enables learners to approach problems from new perspectives, generate original ideas, and establish meaningful connections between concepts. This article explores the importance of fostering creative thinking in physics education through innovative teaching technologies. Specifically, the article focuses on the integration of creative thinking development strategies into lecture-based instruction in physics. It argues that lecture sessions, often considered passive, can be transformed into active and intellectually stimulating experiences through the use of visual simulations, interactive models, and problem-based tasks. The article presents a practical application of this approach through the topic “Heat transfer in gases”. A sample lesson design is provided that includes 2D/3D visual simulations, conceptual explanations, and creativity-oriented teaching methods. The model demonstrates how physics lectures can be structured to stimulate students' imagination, foster associative and divergent thinking, and support systematic analysis—all core components of creative thinking. This work contributes to the growing field of creativity-oriented STEM education and provides a model that can be adapted by educators seeking to modernize their physics instruction and enhance students’ cognitive development.
