DEVELOPMENT OF CREATIVE ABILITIES OF YOUNGER SCHOOLCHILDREN IN THE PAINTING ACTIVITIES

The article presents the results of an experimental study aimed at developing the creative abilities of children of primary school age through visual activity, within the framework of a specially developed program. The methodological basis of the research is the personality-activity approach, in the context of which creative abilities are considered as the basis for the success of the activity, and the junior schoolchild is the subject of activity; scientific principles: development (creative abilities are considered as dynamic education) and the principle of determinism, which implies the dependence of creative abilities on the factors that generate them and mechanisms. The theoretical basis for the study was the individual psychological theory of abilities B.M. Teplov, conceptual positions of the psychology of creativity and co-creation, ideas about the psychological essence and structure of creative abilities D.B. Bogoyavlenska. The following methods were used in the research: Torrens in imaginative creativity, projective technique "Drawing", "Progressive matrices" by J. Raven. Creative abilities are considered as integrative, dynamic education, formed on the basis of creative inclinations and determining the success of any activity that is creative. The structure of creative abilities includes cognitive (knowledge, skills, abilities), emotional (attitude toward creative activity) and motivational (the system of incentives for creative activity) components. On the basis of the developed criteria and indicators, the levels of development of the creative abilities of younger schoolchildren were revealed: high, middle, low. During the realization of the program, the number of children with a low level of creativity development decreased significantly, and with the middle - increased. The practical significance of the research is that the results obtained can be used to diagnose the creative abilities of students in the work of a psychologist, psychological services, and also in developing programs aimed at developing the creative abilities of children of different age groups.
