DEVELOPMENT OF CREATIVE ABILITIES OF SCHOOLCHILDREN IN THE PROCESS OF MEDIA LITERACY FORMATION

Abstract

Present-day participants of learning process become witnesses and direct creators of global changes in learning models. This paper presents the rationalization of innovations. The innovations demanded by the era of information technology and any life sphere require creative, intelligent and highly-­educated citizens.
In such cases, educational goals and objectives acquire different meanings, while reproductive teaching approaches remain not very effective in modern problems solving. New technologies appear, aimed at the formation of a number of relevant to modernity qualities among learners, such as progressiveness, openness to new things and responsibility in decision-­making.
The creation of relevant to nowadays technologies is the successful way which can modify didactic and methodical approaches to the content and organization of learning, while also promote the implementation of modern educational goals.
It is considered efficient to focus efforts on the development of multi-­vector and versatility of students’ skills, in terms of the development of online learning opportunities, the implementation of remote types of work. The practice of realization of general secondary education shows that no additional courses, areas and directions aren’t able to change outdated learning model. In the age of informational transformations, it’s impossible to predict which knowledge and skills will be needed in 9–12 years after learners’ graduations. Consequently, technologies aimed at developing brainwork’s flexibility and creativity, pliability and originality of skills especially in the sphere of media education, in which there are ready-made solutions of virtual reality, should become the main direction in the implementation of educational goals.
The most important function of such technologies is the development of learners’ creative brainwork, both general and individual approach. Education and active practice of individual techniques will provide an opportunity to counteract the established thinking habits, to determine the process of new ideas and points of view making.
It is assumed that the development of creative thinking and the acquisition of relevant knowledge will help to form basic skills to achieve a high level of efficiency in various areas of human activities.
