Abstract

The aim of our research is: to show the context of the productive approach to the problem of facilitative interaction and the development of the person’s creativity in this connection.

The following theoretical methods of the research were used to solve the tasks formulated in the article: the categorical method, structural and functional methods, the methods of the analysis, systematization, modeling, generalization.

The results of the research. Theoretical analysis of psychological researches on this issue allows us to identify several basic approaches to the study of creativity in Foreign Psychology: 1) psychodynamic approach, which describes creativity through the interaction of «It», «Me», «Super-Me»; 2) behavioral approach, which considers creativity as a result of behavior with strict adherence to the scheme «stimulus – reaction»; 3) pragmatic approach, which emphasizes the possibilities of practical use of a creative product and, as a result, the allocation of other resources for the creative use of this product; 4) psychopathological approach, which considers creativity as a by-product of mental disorders of the person; 5) productive approach, which evaluates creativity in a view of the novelty of a final product; 6) procedural approach, which considers creativity as a process; 7) humanistic approach, which emphasizes the actual self-expression of the creator.

It was proved that creativity is a source product of creative activity. This approach calls creative not only masterpieces of world, such as culture and art, inventions of technologies, new concepts in science, but also pieces of original interior design, unusual clothing design, etc. A wide range of creative products should actualize person’s abilities to differentiate according to the levels of individual creativity. Thus, the representatives of the productive approach for the first time argue about a natural level of creative activity.

Conclusions. Thus, we conclude that facilitative interaction is characterized by the following suggestions. Firstly, creative activity is seen as a person’s need to adapt to new conditions of the reality. It is the ability of the person to include something new into the process of his / her life, to adapt to external conditions of the activity, which, as a rule, promotes greater flexibility of the subject in solving problems and situations, increases the possibility of personal improvement and growth. Creative activity is seen as the process of inventing a product that did not yet exist for a given person (although this product may already exist in principles). The characteristics of these new products or processes are their novelty, originality, expediency, validity, the ability to meet their own needs, adequacy.

Productive approach to study of the development of creativity in the process of facilitative interaction shows that this approach to some extent reduces a person’s creative ability to manifest his / her individual characteristics. The productive approach offers a very original and balanced understanding of the creativity, which is based on the universality of the creativity, its accessibility for everyone, the role of creativity not only as a way to adapt to external environmental conditions, but also as a tool for qualitative change.
