Lecture
Scientific research and the pedagogical process are creative phenomena, and therefore they, by their very nature, cannot follow a once-established pattern. Does it follow from this that the process of creativity is a primary concept that cannot be “decomposed” into simpler components? The formula by which one could calculate the answer to this question does not exist yet. However, you can try to put forward a hypothesis about the components of creative success and test it by experience.
Speaking more simply, we define ten initial qualities that a creative researcher and teacher should possess, and “construct” the process of creativity from them.
1. Knowledge (3) . Any creative process of creating a new one begins with an idea, a thought that can arise only as a result of knowledge of a certain minimum amount.
2. Ability to self-education (Cc). Personal knowledge is aging and in a certain sense depreciated. The work of continuously changing generations of researchers generates new knowledge that needs to be learned. Without the capacity for self-education, the original source of creativity diminishes.
3. Memory (P). It is a repository of “operational” knowledge, which a creative person can always dispose of, without reference to records and books. Without a certain amount of memory there is no knowledge and ability to develop them - the first condition of creativity.
4. Curiosity (L). This is an unrewarding desire for people to gain knowledge. Creativity cannot actively flow through violent measures.
5. Observation (N) . This is a careful perception of the environment without separation of the important and the “little things”. At the beginning of the study it is not known what is most important. And with the development of science, when lying “on the surface” has already been used, the role of “trifles” is increasing.
6. Imagination (B). This is the ability to guess the missing links of the logical chain of reasoning. The ability to generate a hypothesis from “nothing”, to put forward an idea, based on existing knowledge.
7. Skepticism (CK). This is a critical perception of the surrounding phenomena and processes. Skepticism is not aimed at denial (as is sometimes believed), but at the desire to verify facts based on experiment, and not on “authoritative” opinions.
8. Enthusiasm (e). This is an active interest and desire for creativity. Unlike curiosity, often bearing a tinge of contemplation, enthusiasm is active, purposeful.
9. Perseverance (Hc). This stubbornness in overcoming the difficulties and obstacles that are inevitable in the search for truth and the achievement of goals.
10. Physical health (F). This is a necessary minimum of biological regulation, providing intellectual self-discipline. The creator in the field of science is not obliged to be an athlete, but his physical culture must be adequate psychological.
After the “parameters” of the creative personality that we have entered, we put their conditional notations in brackets. Unfortunately, none of these parameters has a measure (see § 13). Nor does the volume of creativity (T). However, replacing all these words (concepts) with their notation, is it not possible to say that in a sense
