Abstract :

This study describes the creation and assessment of a technology-enhanced curriculum designed to improve the critical and creative thinking abilities of young learners in the preparation stage. The goal of the Creative and Critical Thinking Skills Technology-Integrated Program (CCTIP) is to combine traditional teaching techniques with technology-based activities. The program's efficacy was evaluated using a quasi-experimental design. When compared to the control group, the experimental group's creative and critical thinking abilities significantly improved, according to the data. The study emphasizes how technology-integrated programs might help young children develop their capacity for critical and creative thought. Critical and creative thinking skills are essential for young children's overall development. The creation, use, and assessment of a technology-integrated program (CCTIP) aimed at promoting critical and creative thinking in children in the preparatory stage are the main subjects of this study. This study examines the program's efficacy in improving young learners' cognitive capacities, problem-solving skills, and creative expression by fusing educational ideas, contemporary technological resources, and pedagogical practices. The study's conclusions show that CCTIP offers a novel method to early childhood education by considerably enhancing the targeted skills.
