This article examines the development of creativity among future educational psychologists within the context of an innovative educational process. Contemporary transformations in the education system require future specialists to demonstrate flexible and non-standard thinking, making creativity an essential component of their professional training. The aim of the study was to identify the level of creativity among future educational psychologists and to evaluate the effectiveness of methods for its enhancement through an experimental approach. The research was conducted with second- and third-year university students, and creativity levels were assessed using E.P. Ilyin’s methodologies and S. Mednick’s Remote Associates Test (RAT). Initial assessments revealed predominantly low and medium levels of creativity. During the formative stage, art-therapy exercises, creative tasks, and group projects contributed to significant improvements in the experimental group. Comparative results of the RAT and Ilyin’s methods confirmed notable increases in creativity indicators compared to the control group. The study demonstrates that creativity can be effectively developed through targeted pedagogical and psychological support, and integrating creative methods into the educational process is crucial for enhancing the professional training of future educational psychologists.
