FORMATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF CREATIVE EDUCATION BASED ON THE INTEGRATION OF GREEN SCHOOL AND STEAM APPROACHES

This thesis examines the formation and implementation of creative education based on the integration of Green School and STEAM approaches. The study is grounded in the idea that modern education must prepare students not only with academic knowledge, but also with creativity, ecological responsibility, interdisciplinary thinking, and practical problem-solving skills. The Green School approach is analyzed as a whole-school model that promotes sustainability through curriculum, school culture, operations, and community participation, while STEAM is considered as an interdisciplinary educational framework that encourages innovation, inquiry, and creative learning. The thesis argues that the integration of these two approaches creates favorable conditions for the development of a more holistic and meaningful model of creative education. The analysis shows that such integration strengthens student motivation, supports environmental awareness, improves collaborative and critical thinking skills, and connects learning with real-life issues. At the same time, the thesis identifies important conditions for successful implementation, including teacher preparation, curriculum integration, institutional support, and alternative assessment methods. The study concludes that combining Green School and STEAM approaches can significantly contribute to the creation of innovative, student-centered, and sustainability-oriented educational environments.
