The study explored the association between student-centred teachings and innovative skill development in art design students. Furthermore, the role of students' engagement and students' performance was assessed using a student-centred approach and students' innovative skills. Furthermore, the importance of the student-centred approach among art and design students in the sixth, seventh, and eighth semesters was assessed. In total, 365 students were included in the study: 115 from the sixth semester, 120 from the seventh semester, and 130 from the eighth semester from Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University, Institute of Arts, Culture, and Sports. The data collection was performed at three different periods using a time-lag approach. Furthermore, it was found that students' creative skills are positively associated with student-centred teaching methodologies. Whereas students' level of engagement is directly linked with the student-centred approach, and students' engagement is directly associated with students' innovative skills. Similarly, students' performance is positively associated with the student-centred approach and innovative skills. The study highlighted the importance of student-centred teaching methodologies in developing students' performance and engagement. Lastly, students' innovative skills in art and design can be developed using a research model by focusing on the teaching methodologies, students' engagement, and the need for innovative skills for future design specialists.
