It has become crucial to use technology in every aspect of human life, including
education, as a result of its growing significance in today's world. Likewise, the
importance of creativity in education is also increasing. This study examined Uzbek
high school teachers' opinions on how technology might foster creativity during
classes. Data was collected through quantitative methods (questionnaire) from 35 high
school teachers. According to the results, teachers generally have a fairly positive
attitude toward employing technology in the classroom. They have also shown a solid
understanding of creativity. The additional opportunities given by digital technology
and its efficiency were mentioned by teachers as the primary reasons why they thought
technology might increase creativity. The findings, however, indicated an average
understanding of virtual reality and its advantages. This survey found that most
teachers are ready to incorporate digital technology into the classroom to develop
students' creativity and have positive opinions about it.
