THEORETICAL FOUNDATION OF THE TEACHER'S CREATIVITY MODEL AT A HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION

Abstract

B a c k g r o u n d . This article is dedicated to the problems of pedagogical creativity of a lecturer as a part of his professional activity. We have examined the concept of pedagogical creativity, analyzed levels of pedagogical creativity and the conditions of professional formation of a teacher. The features of pedagogical creativity are outlined, in particular, innovation, originality, non-standardisation of the process and result of pedagogical activity, going beyond the generally known in pedagogical science and practice. An important prerequisite for the development of a future teacher's creative personality is the personal and professional influence of university teachers. It is important for teachers to use interactive pedagogical technologies that synthesise the achievements of pedagogical science and practice. In particular: activity-oriented (project technologies), personality-oriented (dialogue, training), cognitive-oriented, etc. Pedagogical creativity is an original and highly effective approach of a teacher to solving educational tasks that enriches the theory and practice of teaching and education. It is always a search and discovery of new things. Pedagogical creativity is the creation of advanced pedagogical experience, an innovation that significantly changes views on pedagogical phenomena and is associated with the teacher's creative achievements, high level of skill, and pedagogical art. The high level of creative competence of the higher education teacher is an integral, basic component of the education of the modern specialist, the basis of his successful professional activity and, as a result, the high quality of the educational process and innovative activity. The purpose of the article is to consider the essence of "pedagogical creativity" and to define the role of pedagogical creativity in the process of professional training of future teachers. Re su lt s . Creativity is a form of development; only creative personalities are capable of delivering innovative learning. It is the teacher's competence to have creative competence that is the key to successful professional self-realization. C onc lu si on s The analysis of the professional tasks of the teacher, as well as the requirements imposed on him by the society, shows that the facilitative competence is included in the structure of the professional competence of the teacher and allows to solve the key professional problems.
