This article aims to evaluate the impact of project-based learning (PBL) on the development of student creativity. Its methodology is a systematic review following the PRISMA protocol, consulting Scopus, Web of Science, SciELO, Eric, ProQuest, and Ebsco. A total of 25 studies published between 2018-2024 were included. The results indicate that PBL significantly enhances creativity through collaborative work, real problem-solving, and interdisciplinary integration, especially when combined with STEM. The effectiveness varies according to the educational level and requires active teacher mediation in basic education. The conclusions indicate that PBL is a valuable methodology that demands an institutional culture favorable to active and autonomous learning for effective implementation.

Este artículo tiene como Objetivo evaluar el impacto del aprendizaje basado en proyectos (ABP) en el desarrollo de la creatividad estudiantil. Su metodología es una revisión sistemática siguiendo el protocolo PRISMA, consultando Scopus, Web of Science, SciELO, Eric, ProQuest y Ebsco. Se incluyeron 25 estudios publicados entre 2018-2024. Se tiene resultados donde el ABP potencia significativamente la creatividad mediante trabajo colaborativo, resolución de problemas reales e integración interdisciplinaria, especialmente cuando se combina con STEM. La efectividad varía según el nivel educativo y requiere mediación docente activa en educación básica. Las conclusiones indican que el ABP es una metodología valiosa que demanda cultura institucional favorable al aprendizaje activo y autónomo para su implementación efectiva.
