%X <p><em>This article explores the role and importance of non-standard problems in developing students' creative thinking, especially in the context of astronomy education. It defines non-standard problems as tasks that lack a straightforward solution and require innovative, logical, and analytical thinking. The text emphasizes their effectiveness in enhancing divergent thinking, problem-solving skills, and creativity. Various pedagogical approaches such as group collaboration, creative questioning, and problem-based learning are suggested for effective teaching. The article also highlights the need to reform Uzbekistan’s educational system by integrating non-standard problems to bridge the gap between theory and real-world application. It argues that developing methodological tools and teaching materials focused on non-standard problem-solving will significantly enhance students’ intellectual and creative potential.</em></p>
