TRIZ TECHNOLOGY AS A MEANS OF DEVELOPING CREATIVE THINKING IN PRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDREN IN THE LESSONS OF THE SURROUNDING WORLD

Abstract

The article studies a problem of developing creative thinking in younger schoolchildren. TRIZ technology is considered as a solution to the issue. The purpose of the study is to consider the development of creative thinking of students in the lessons of the surrounding world through the theory of solving inventive tasks in the 4th grade. The relevance of the technology lies in the fact that the teacher in the classroom can facilitate a creative, thinking atmosphere, when the child calmly solves various tasks of a creative nature, cognitive activity of schoolchildren is created. Forming children’s ability to solve tasks, they are not given direct answers to questions, but are given the opportunity to “face complexity”, see the problem and find an inventive way out of it. To identify the level of development of creative thinking of students, two methods were selected: testing “Unfinished Figures” by E.P. Torrens (to identify the creative potential of children) and test drawings “Dorisuika” (to determine the level of creative abilities of children). A number of lessons of the surrounding world were conducted using TRIZ technology and the following techniques are described: “Step by step”; “Good-bad”; “Yes-No”; “Jockey and horse”.
