Abstract

In an era of rapid technological progress and global interconnectedness, educational systems are tasked with fostering innovative thinking among learners. However, cognitive-psychological barriers—such as fear of failure, fixed mindsets, and cognitive overload—hinder the realization of this goal. This article explores pedagogical strategies to mitigate these barriers, highlighting their systematic roots and the critical role of educators in overcoming them. Emphasis is placed on developing educators' creative potential and implementing active teaching methodologies like collaborative and experiential learning to enhance resilience, adaptability, and innovative engagement. By addressing these barriers, educational institutions can cultivate environments that encourage creativity, critical thinking, and growth, equipping learners to thrive in complex, ever-evolving landscapes. The findings underscore the necessity of holistic approaches to education that integrate cognitive and emotional development into innovative pedagogical practices.
