Abstract

The article considers problems of formation of professional creativity of a foreign language teacher in the framework of higher education. Analysis and generalization of existing approaches to the study of professional creativity and professionally important qualities of a teacher allow to clarify the concept of professional creativity. Professional creativity can be considered as the highest stage of development of creative abilities in professional activity or as the highest stage of development of creative competence of the teacher. Before realizing the activity for the development and formation of creative competence of another individual of foreign language education, the teacher himself should realize the integrity and accuracy in the formation of creativity. The authors consider art-pedagogical technology as a flexible and variable sequence of stages and intrapsychic phases of creative ability. The authors propose to consider a model for the formation of creative abilities of foreign language teachers through the implementation of training programs and art technologies. The study of teacher’s creativity and its impact on the effectiveness of the educational process in the framework of additional professional education was carried out in the Financial University. The authors conclude that an integral condition for the development of creativity should be involved in activities, in professionally oriented situations. Defining and clarifying factors contributing to the development of professional creativity are the results of the research.
