The article describes the results of the study of psychological qualities and attitudes to the moral categories of sighted and blind students studying filmmaking. The psychological characteristics of students belonging to different types of creative activity – "asterisks", "problematic" and recommendations for them are described. The educational effects of the project are revealed – changes in the motivational sphere, attitude to moral categories, the creation of their own creative works, awareness of life meanings and priorities, the ability to formulate and justify their own point of view, creative tasks and solutions in the process of interaction with masters and teamwork.

Artificial intelligence capabilities in the context of the author's conception of creativity

The study provides some philosophical reflections on the creativity of artificial in-telligence. The study supposes that artificial intelligence can be considered creative only if it creates something new with help of imagination (or its equivalent) and ap-pealing to the so-called “background” (background and general knowledge, biases, competencies, experience, habits, intuition, prejudices, political preferences, skills, stereotypes, values, and others), and its creative activity must be either necessary or arbitrary. Necessary creative activity is related to the solution of specific tasks, for example, within the framework of technical invention or scientific discovery. Arbitrary creative activity is associated with spontaneous, aimless and inexpedient human activity. This type of creative activity takes place when a creative doer has free time, leisure, enthusiasm (hobby), plays a game or is bored. Based on the two types of creative activity, two types of creative artificial intelligence can be distinguished: a weak creative artificial intelligence that makes necessary creative activities related to the tool nature of artificial intelligence, specifically to effectively solving specific problems and tasks, and a strong creative artificial intelligence that makes arbitrary creative activities, that is, creates for the sake of creating alone. The strong creative artificial intelligence can be possible only if the artificial intelligence is given autono-my, the freedom to manage that autonomy, and learns to manage its freedom.

Actual problems of creative activity and new cognitive possibilities: a transdisciplinary approach

Digitalization of education and science is a unique opportunity for creative activity, as well as new problems of the functioning of complex dynamic systems, including the human body, in extreme conditions (technogenic, environmental, epidemics and wars). New tools are proposed, based on new phenomena, analogies and principles, as well as metamodels of thought structures and relationships between key sciences and their metasciences, the complementarity of which has cognitive and heuristic value. It is shown that the heuristic significance of successful activity is associated with the emotional perception of the harmony of nature, the holographic nature of memory and the desire to generate useful ideas. The cognitive value of extreme principles in the natural sciences, in information theory, in psychology and design is considered. Attention is drawn to new possibilities for the use of signs and symbols, the versatility of which made it possible to propose: • apply the diversity of signs and symbols in the natural sciences to bridge the gap between the humanities and science cultures; • heuristic meta-models in the form of the Star of David, the complementarity of which increases their cognitive value; • new tools for optimizing creative activity, the use of which contributes to the harmonization of interaction in the digital environment. It is proposed to unify the criteria for evaluating different types of creative activity (scientific, technical and artistic), which are aimed at solving the actual problems of the individual (health, safety and development of emotional intelligence).

Classification of Terms in Patent Law

The paper attempts to explore the complex of patent legal terms as a separate group of terms in civil law through the prism of the elements that make up this set. The classification was carried out in two stages. At the first stage, taking into account the approaches developed in the science of civil law, seven bases of division and the features of their application to patent legal terms are considered. At the second stage, five additional grounds for dividing patent legal terms into groups are proposed. The analysis of the elements identified as a result of the classification made it possible to formulate conclusions about the features of urgent regulation of patent-legal relations: a high degree of certainty and at the same time flexibility of temporary regulation; about the absence of certain deadlines and the presence of specific groups of deadlines in connection with the peculiarities of the subject of regulation of patent law and the focus of patent legislation on the creation of favorable conditions for scientific, scientific-technical and other types of creative activities.

Definition of the subject of fundamental acmeology

The article notes the timeliness of the birth of acmeology, due to the search for patterns in the theory of the quality of education and methods for measuring it. The subject of acmeology is determined as a result of the generalization of the factors for the achievement by mature people of the heights of quality in various types of creative activity. The identified connections and dependencies have been verified and confirmed by candidate and doctoral theses (more than two hundred). Acmeology is presented as a new fundamental humanitarian science, and the acmeological approach to the study of the factors of reaching peaks in any kind of professional activity as a strategy and technology for self-promotion to the peaks of productivity and professionalism. Acmeology is considered as the foundation of modern pedagogical culture, the culture of understanding the quality of the results of ones own activity

Воспитание средствами художественных произведений умения младших школьников следовать правилам этикета

The article discusses the problem of familiarizing younger students with the rules of etiquette based on the analysis of works of art. The author proposes a scenario for a possible lesson in the second grade on the subject "World-Around-Us", dedicated to the study of the rules of behavior at the table, during which various creative exercises and didactic games are used on the content of the text of a fairy tale. This stimulates the interest of children in the topic being studied, allows them to successfully master the proposed material, as well as develop the abilities of younger schoolchildren in various types of creative activity and the ability to cooperate in the course of it.

Sõnastades sõnatut / Expressing tacit knowledge

In his review of the Estonian translation of Richard Sennett’s The Craftsman, Urmas Lüüs, from the Estonian Art Academy, expresses his thoughts about the general position of ’material arts’ in the context of Estonian higher art education and the ways the book could help to cast new light on the forms of artistic self-expression that embrace making and skill besides conceptual ideas and design.
 In addition to materiality and technical skills, tacit knowledge is another very important concept addressed by Sennett. Lüüs provides some contemporary examples where tacit knowledge is studied. Some attempts to re-evoke tacit knowledge may not be successful, because they have been passed literally from hand to hand, but the knowledge has perished alongside the growth of industrial production, much like it happened in metal casting for sculptures.
 Lüüs points out that the book nicely pairs up with Jyrki Siukonen’s book Hammer and silence that was translated and published some years earlier and enjoyed very positive reception on behalf of art students. Both books show the way towards accepting the significance of (manual) skills in all types of creative activity.

On the constitutionality of the ban on the use of the Internet by a suspect or accused

The article examines the theoretical and applied problems of the prohibition of the use of the information and telecommunications network "Internet" by a suspect or accused when choosing a preventive measure in the form of a ban on certain actions, bail or house arrest; analyzes, in connection with the fundamental rights and freedoms of man and citizen, the changes introduced by Federal Law No. 72-FZ of 18.04.2018 changes in The Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation; thematic judicial practice is given; legal solutions aimed at optimizing the current legislation and the practice of its application are proposed, while legal issues are correlated with the role of the Internet in modern society and human life. According to the results of the study, the authors come to the conclusion that the legal stereotypes that have existed for a long time about the inseparable connection of the restriction of the constitutional right to freedom when placed under house arrest with other restrictions of constitutional rights, although not explicitly specified in the law, are actually applied to a suspect or accused under house arrest. Among such restrictions, we will find, for example, a ban on performing labor (official) duties, searching for and receiving information, various types of creative activity (literature, painting, science, technology, etc.). These restrictions could have been formed only in a "pre-digital" society and therefore require revision.

ДО ПИТАНЬ ДЕФІНІЦІЇ ПОНЯТЬ ВИКОНАВСЬКОЇ ТА АВТОРСЬКОЇ ШКОЛИ

Modern Ukrainian musicology is developing the definition, terminological apparatus, system of typological signs and classification of performing schools in more and more detail. The very definition of the concept, its content, signs, structure, range of functions differ significantly in the works of various researchers, which indicates the search and active formation of the most appropriate scientific apparatus (categorical, terminological, typological, etc.). Many researchers pay attention to the study of the characteristic features of individual instrumental or national performing schools. Other socio-political conditions were formed in the second half of the 20th century, and socio-cultural changes became a powerful impetus to the development and growth of the number of author schools, and at the same time to the formation of relevant concepts. The essence of the teacher's activity as a representative of the school consists, first of all, in teaching the student the technology of mastery. The value and truth of this training is revealed in the meaningfulness of the actions, in the proof of the «correctness» of the methods and recommendations chosen by the teacher, which are perceived and creatively implemented by the student. The stability of the school structure, which is ensured through cultural genesis, is combined with dynamic factors - new circumstances in which executive activity is carried out and which ensure the variability of programs while the school structure is stable as a phenomenon (Davydov, 2010: 6). The structuring of the school according to the ethnic-territorial principle takes place at the national, regional (peripheral, local), authorial (individual-pedagogical) levels. At each of the levels, the functions of the school are realized in a different way: cognitive, communicative and didactic. The cognitive function is aimed at summarizing and understanding creative, methodical, pedagogical, cognitive, educational experience through the creation of educational literature, repertoire collections, self-expression through interpretation and composition, and other types of creative activity. Communicative and didactic functions consist in the selection and development of a didactically verified system of transfer and assimilation of knowledge, cooperation between the teacher and the student on the stages of preparation for concert performances, the formation of the creative personality of the young musician in this process, the education of emotional, artistic, intellectual, technical and expressive spheres aimed at performing process.

INTERPRETATION OF CHORAL WORK AS A CREATIVE COMPONENT IN THE SYSTEM OF FACTORS OF PERFORMANCE SKILLS OF THE FUTURE TEACHER - MUSICIAN

The article considers the issues of training a future music teacher, substantiates the importance of musical performance in his professional development. The views of scientists on the interpretation of the concepts of "performance", "performing skills" are analyzed. The components that determine the performance skills are highlighted. The meaning of the concepts "creation" and "creativity" is specified, their differences are defined. The phenomenon of interpretation as a type of creative activity is analyzed. Different approaches of music teachers and scholars to the interpretation of the term "interpretive skills", which are manifested in analytical work with musical text, technical and performing skills, artistic taste, the performer's own attitude to the figurative content of a musical work and reflect the level of his creative abilities. The key provisions of the theory and practice of interpretive activity of the future music teacher are indicated. The stages of creation of interpretation of a choral work are singled out and the range of tasks of each stage is defined. Analysis of a musical work is considered as one of the components of interpretation. The focus is on the formation of interpretation skills during individual lessons in the class of choral conducting. Methods and forms of work are proposed to activate the creative thinking of students to expand the musical horizons. It was found that the state of creative search deepens the performer's knowledge of the musical image, forms the skills and abilities of full-fledged work on interpretation. Emphasis is placed on the peculiarities of reading the musical text, on the development of skills and abilities in the independent analysis of a musical work. The role of personal qualities of the student and own experience in creative process is defined.
 The peculiarities of the formation of interpretive abilities are characterized, in particular, the sketch study of works as one of the forms of analytical-synthetic activity of the student is singled out. It was found that musical interpretation is a key aspect of the performing activity of a future musician teacher.

Enhancing creativity in activity‐based offices: A critical incident study of knowledge workers

This study investigated the effects of activity‐based offices (ABOs) on individual and group creativity. Adopting an interactionist perspective, we extended the theoretical framework of creative knowledge environments to find the link between ABOs and the concept of creative spaces. We employed the critical incident technique and collected data through interviews and participant observation methods for the case studies of three ABOs. The results show that privacy, noise level, and a distraction‐free environment were the main factors supporting employees' individual creativity, as were open spaces with zones for different levels of noise and private enclosed spaces. For group creativity, the significance of providing suitable equipment and furniture in ABOs was observed—collaborative and disengaged spaces were found to be the recurring spaces for group creativity. Additionally, employee preferences were noted as an important component to consider when looking at environmental features, types of spaces and types of creative activities in creativity‐enhancing ABOs.

РОЗВИТОК ЕСТЕТИЧНОГО СМАКУ МОЛОДШИХ ПІДЛІТКІВ НА УРОКАХ МИСТЕЦТВА: ТЕОРЕТИЧНИЙ І ПРАКТИЧНИЙ АСПЕКТИ

The article examines the features of the development of the aesthetic taste of younger adolescents in art lessons. It has been determined that the dialogical approach should be the leading approach in the development of aesthetic tastes in basic school. The role of the dialogue on the themes of art between the subjects of the educational process is clarified, the problems and positions that affect the optimality in the development of aesthetic taste at school are highlighted. It has been substantiated that attracting students to various types of creative activity can be realized with the help of interesting stories, frank conversations on the development of aesthetic taste in integrated art lessons. The author noted the transitional period of early adolescence, which should be taken into account in the development of aesthetic taste. That is why the author points out the need for understanding on the part of the teacher that pleasant communication should be provided in basic school, which in the future will make it possible to reveal the beauty for the child, the significance of beauty, the ideals of good and evil, which are embedded in various works of art. The author substantiates four types of tasks that should be taken into account by the teacher and proves that in order to build dialogue communication in art lessons, it is important to take into account the emergence of a new personality quality in early adolescence - the ability to abstract judgment. The author defends the idea that younger adolescents must learn to see the value basis of art, pay attention to such values as the creation of good (virtue), which is the basis for establishing a dialogue in social systems.

Local transformations of museum «places of memory» in post-soviet era: 
 historiographical notes and direct observations

The problem of transition from soviet era to modern Russia and associated transformations attracted the attention of scientists (sociologists specially). Within the framework of recent sociological research (the project Russia reforming), it was noted that in the historical memory of the population, the collapse of the USSR and the realities of the new Russia have ambiguous manifestations, and the collective memory is declining. It is necessary to refer to the characterization of the situation with assessments of ongoing transformations by representatives of other scientific fields in the context of the memory paradigm. The article is devoted to modern interpretations of local museum transformations like places of memory. It is necessary to compare approaches to the problem of museologists, cultural scientists and historians. The basis for historiographical notes and observations is intellectual history as an interdisciplinary subject field of actual historical knowledge about various types of creative activity, creative processes and its results. The novelty of our research is that the memory studies uses a historical and cultural model for the analysis of Museum places of memory with a separate emphasis on the assessment of the modern specifics of the representation of images of the Soviet past. As the obtained historiographical results, we record the greatest activity in considering the problem of transformations in Museum publications. However, their authors reduce the essence of the problem to the inner world of museums (the appearance of additional functions and forms of activity). At the same time, since the mid-2000s, there has been a convergence of museology with historical science (the project Role of museums libraries archives in the information support of historical science). The problem of possible creation of a Museum of local history of a new type has been raised. The first publications which connecting museum and historical memory in modern Russia are most important to memories historiography. Specifics of source base for research of local transformations museum places of memory are considered information from direct observations. Transformations of museums in culture space of some Siberian cities are used for example.

Dancing in the Modus of Self-Identification

The main idea of the article is to address the phenomenon of dancing as a type of creative activity in the modus of self-identification. Sociocultural (self-)identification within the framework of art is taken as the process and space of forming an outline — personal and collective — in relation to certain groups of values, norms and traditions, as a way to discover the boundaries of reflexivity and the possibility of their representation in an artistic act. Basing on the interpretation of reflection as self-directed thinking, this article solves the problem of showing the potential of art in general, and dancing in particular, in the aspect of formation and preservation of identity parameters. The identity is considered as the result of constructing metaphysical supports and methods of self-representation in the widest range: national, religious, ideological, gender, but above all — the actual artistic-stylistic one. In addition to the obvious value of beauty and harmony, the article highlights expressiveness and authenticity as the main axiological guidelines for the art of choreography. The author analyzes the high communicative potential of dancing as a type of artistic activity both at the professional and amateur levels. The article focuses on the specifics of self-identification procedures in the space of modern dance, interpreted in this context in a wide chronological field — from the emergence of “free dance” by Isadora Duncan to current trends in postmodern dance, “contemporary dance” and performative practices. The study concludes that dancing has a high axiological potential as an artistic activity that combines physical and metaphysical practices.

Creativity and creative work in children with disabilities

The article presents the results of the analysis of the problem of creativity and creative work in children with disabilities having different impairments. This research serves as a basis for conducting a separate study aimed at researching the peculiarities of the search for creative solutions in the process of completing figure drawings in younger schoolchildren with hearing impairments compared to their peers with normal hearing. For this purpose, a comparative analysis of the drawings of hearing-impaired students and elementary school students with preserved hearing was conducted by the criteria of fluency, flexibility, elaborateness, and originality. The need for the present study is determined by the tasks of the modern system of special and inclusive education aimed at the optimal personal development of all children and the creation of psychological and pedagogical conditions for the successful development of different types of creative activity that positively affect their socialization. The study uses a set of theoretical and empirical methods of analysis of the studied problem, as well as a comparative study of general and specific features of creativity in children with preserved and impaired hearing. These specific features are determined by a disproportionate formation of different types of thinking, a delay in the development of figurative memory, verbal speech, and imagination in comparison with hearing children. The novelty of the study consists in the expansion of knowledge about the potential possibilities of creative decisions and creative abilities of persons with developmental disorders at different ages in special psychology and pedagogics. The results of the study of creativity of children with hearing impairments can be used in the educational system for professional orientation and creating conditions for persons with special educational needs to master creative professions.

САМОСТОЯТЕЛЬНОЕ ЧТЕНИЕ УЧЕНИКА В ШКОЛЕ И ДОМА

The study examines the issues of introducing a student to independent reading, the development of the need for reading, the ability to choose the right book, and make the appropriate necessary selection of literature. Theoretical research showed the reading preferences of a modern child, a change in the circle of his reading interests. There are approaches to reading on electronic media and in the traditional “paper” format. The interrelation of reading and the child's desire for his own literary creation, the implementation of other types of creative activity is traced. Despite the decline in reading culture, children began to pay much more attention to reading. Large reading projects have emerged, such as Successful Reading, Time to Read, Good Lyre, etc. A national program for the support and development of reading for 2018–2023, Reading Childhood, has appeared. The Good Lyre project was conceived in our basic lyceum No. 590 in St. Petersburg. The essence of the project is to organize a literary competition for professional writers and to involve students, teachers and parents as a public jury to evaluate the works sent to the competition. Its main task is to familiarize schoolchildren with meaningful reading of modern prose, promote their mastery of the technology of independent book selection, and develop the ability to conduct a discussion on what they have read. During the implementation of the project, reading affects the personal development of the student, the formation of his individuality, the stimulation of such processes as self-knowledge, self-determination, self-development, self-realization.
