Būsimų mokytojų kūrybiškumo kompetencijų ugdymas

Abstract

The article deals with the problems of how to develop and systematically stimulate the creative competencies of Pedagogical University students. The model of the creative competencies is represented in the article. Many authors agree that creativity can be enhanced because human potentials can be fulfilled. Efforts to enhance creativity will not expand one's inborn potentialities but they can insure that potentialities are maximized (Plucker, Runco, 1999). The effective programs are those that try to influence different aspects of creativity - cognitive, personality, attitudes, behavior, interpersonal, affect, and environmental. Creativity training, then, can be effective. Sizable effects can be observed using four major criteria applied in evaluating training -divergent thinking, problem - solving, performance, and attitudes-behavior (Scott et al., 2004).
