The development of creative competence is a priority in modern chemistry education, reflecting global shifts toward competency-based learning. International assessment research emphasizes creativity, problem-solving, and the application of scientific knowledge in real-life contexts. This study aims to develop and validate a methodology for fostering students’ creative competence in chemistry education through international assessment-oriented instructional strategies. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving control and experimental groups. The findings indicate a statistically significant improvement in students’ creative competence in the experimental group, confirming the effectiveness of the proposed methodology and its alignment with international educational standards.
