ПЕДАГОГИКА ТВОРЧЕСТВА: ОРЕНБУРГ И РЯЗАНЬ — ТОЧКИ НА КАРТЕ

Abstract

Creativity as a phenomenon has always been of great interest to people, however it has gained relevance since the middle of the twentieth century. Moreover, in the conditions of uncertainty, unpredictability, rapid transformation, penetration, and sometimes the dominance of technology in all spheres of life, creativity is becoming one of the most essential qualities of a modern person. An analysis of the array of domestic and foreign studies conducted gives grounds to assert that creativity, as a personality trait, being inherent in everyone to a greater or lesser extent, can be developed both individually and in a team, can lead to non-standard solution of complex problems and can contribute to the creation of original products of practical value. Creativity is not a chaotic, unpredictable feature of a person’s behavior, so its development becomes the goal of education and pedagogy of creativity. The creative paradigm of education determines the mechanisms for transforming one’s personality through self-determination, freedom of self-expression and the choice of life path strategies. By the example of two geographical points quite distant from each other: Ryazan and Orenburg, the authors argue that they are united by their interest in the problem of the creativity development in educational space. The review of studies conducted in these cities and aimed at studying various aspects of creativity is not exhaustive and final. The authors emphasize that the pedagogy of creativity, combining innovations and traditions, theory and practice, the latest technologies and time-tested methods, contributes to the potential development of both the individual and the team, the enrichment of the values of creativity and knowledge, the formation of readiness for the implementation of creative activity and the creation of a new significant product.
