Contextual learning is based on the constructivist approach to learning and teaching. The goal of contextual learning is to teach students how to use the acquired knowledge and skills in real-life situations. Teachers who use contextual learning methods in teaching present teaching content and materials so that students can construct knowledge based on their own experience. The learning process is more successful when students can see the correlation between the content they learn in school and real-life situations in which they can apply and use that material. Contextual learning motivates students, strengthens their problem-solving skills, encourages them to think critically and creatively, and results in them being more active during the educational process. In this thesis, the focus is on the importance of implementing contextual learning and encouraging creativity in teaching. In the theoretical part, contextual learning and creativity are explored individually, pointing out the correlation between them throughout the text - contextual learning encourages students to be creative and in control during the learning proces. With contextual learning, the student is motivated and develops his creative potential. In the research part of the thesis, the aim is to test the hypotheses: the students are not sufficiently educated about the importance of contextual learning in the development of creativity and the students think it is important to implement creative activities in class. The research shows that most of the respondents are not sufficiently informed about contextual learning and that they believe that it is necessary to encourage the development of students' creativity in class.
