Abstract

This research article conducts a systematic literature review of problem-based learning (PBL) in art education and its impact on the cognitive and creativity skills of students in China and globally. The concept of creativity education, which refers to the framework, policies, environments, and pedagogical practices used to foster creative thinking, has gained significant attention in recent years. Studies have shown that PBL can lead to increased motivation and engagement among students, as well as improved critical thinking and problem-solving skills. However, there are challenges that need to be addressed to effectively implement PBL in art education, such as a lack of teacher training and a need for more research to understand how PBL can be effectively integrated into existing curricula. The article provides insight on the current state of PBL in art education and its potential impact on students' cognitive and creativity skills, offering guidance for future research in this field.
