Taking into account the needs of the modern society, the question of reorientation of the higher pedagogical education to the training of the specialist of the new type, highly qualified, with creative thinking, non-standard approach to the solution of professional tasks becomes topical. In the article the author sets the aim to elucidate the essence of the phenomenon of “creativity” and to ground its role in the training of the modern teacher. By the way of phenomenological analysis of philosophical, psychological and pedagogical sources it was determined, that a human states itself in creativity, develops and creates him- (her) self as a person. It was determined, that creativity is the necessary component of pedagogical activity, in which process the teacher’s creative person is formed. The most important features of such teacher is the searching-problem style of thinking, problem understanding, developed creative imagination, fantasy, specific personal qualities (keenness, independence, purposefulness) and also the main specific motives (creative interest, enthusiasm to creative process, striving for attaining result, necessity to realize him- (her) self). It was established, that the effectiveness of the training of the modern teacher with the features of creative persons becomes possible under condition of the inclusion of creative component into the process of their training. The value of creative pedagogical workshops that are the important base of the training of the teacher of new type, with creative thinking, non-standard approach to the solution of professional tasks was discovered. The author proves that the social mission of activity of the higher pedagogical educational institutions must be not only the training of teachers to the realization of professional tasks and functions, outlined by educational-qualified characteristic but also the formation of creative person of the teacher, able to generate new knowledge, to be the unique source of productive social activity Author Biography Галина Іванівна Сотська, Institute of pedagogical education and adult education of the National academy of pedagogical sciences of Ukraine M.
