Abstract

<p>The article reflects the contradictions that characterize the current state of Russian education system. It is believed that the abolition of the Bologna system of education will contribute to the restoration of its former high level. However, the material we have cited from a survey of leading teachers points to deeper reasons for its decline. First of all, it should be noted the orientation towards the introduction into pedagogy of a system of basic indicators of child development seen as a partof the dominant American concept of behaviorism, which explains the development of the cognitive process and creativity <em>tvorchestvo</em> – in Russianonly by an associative process. Studies, presentations at the conferences, and a survey the author conducted among Russian teachers show that, assuming a higher role in the development of "creativity" than in the development of <em>tvorchestvo</em> or "creative skills", teachers actually form among students a significant attitude towards creativity . The concepts of <em>tvorchestvo</em> and "creativity", unfortunately, are considered the same thing in in the scientific world. Confusing these concepts, a professional Russian teacher contradicts the scientifically based Russian methodology, which is a decisive factor in the development of education in Russia.</p>
