The study of creativity as a component of early pedagogical giftedness in senior pupils

Abstract

The article focuses on the problems of early pedagogical talent, mainly on its universal component “creativity”. The urgency is to identify the early pedagogical talent of senior pupils and to develop the creative personality traits of the future teacher. The aim of the study is to identify indicators of creativity as a component of early pedagogical giftedness in senior students taking into account gender differences. As methods of psychodiagnostics, we use the test of personal creativity by E.E. Tunic. The work reflects the general and specific tendencies observed by the author in 165 senior pupils of the tenth grade. As a result, we have found the optimal level of development of the universal ability - creativity, as well as qualitative and quantitative differences between the indicators of creativity in boys and girls. The hypothesis was confirmed that young men are more creative, risk-averse, inquisitive and loving complex tasks while girls show the ability to fantasize and dream and have the tendency to perceive the world outside the box.
