METHODOLOGY FOR DEVELOPING THE CREATIVE ABILITIES OF PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS THROUGH AN INDIVIDUALIZED APPROACH

Abstract

This paper substantiates a system for developing the creative abilities of primary school students, which includes a classification of creative task types, methodological principles for organizing creative activities in lessons, and recommendations for conducting special classes. It describes diagnostic procedures—assessments composed entirely of non-standard creative tasks—and provides a comparative analysis of their results at different stages of the academic year. The paper also identifies factors influencing effectiveness, such as task content, motivation, and the learning environment. The author concludes that the targeted development of creative thinking through the formation of mental techniques improves the assimilation of course material and promotes students' comprehensive development. Furthermore, the implementation of differentiated and varied forms of work ensures a higher level of creative achievement.
