Abstract

Biology is one of the most important lessons in science that has closely related to important knowledge topics, including the structure of the body of the beings and their creation. Therefore, anyone with any specialization needs to learn of this strategic field. In this review the author has tried to describe and analyze the subject from a variety of dimensions by studying and scrutinizing multiple articles and personal experiences. The subject of creativity has great importance for all disciplines, especially the specialized disciplines. Traditional education of biology prevents the development of critical thinking in students and causes a deep gap between the planned and implemented curriculum. Therefore, the evolution in teaching and guiding it to creativity is essential. Learning difficulties in biology, teaching patterns, challenging issues and curriculum defects are important challenges to the study of biology. Amplification of problem solving, discovering new relationships between concepts, and using the combining education method are mentioned strategies in this article. Creative education improves brain function and reduces stress that contributes to increased learning.
