Zhao Y. Development of Creative Abilities of Children of Primary School Age by Means of Game Art and Pedagogical Technologies

The dissertation research is devoted to the problem of development of creative abilities of children of primary school age by means of game art and pedagogical technologies. Analysis of the scientific literature shows that this issue is multifaceted and requires interdisciplinary research. In psychological and pedagogical science there are different approaches to the development of creative abilities in the study of various disciplines, extracurricular, group work, including means of various arts: literature, music, fine arts, choreography and more. The analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature allowed us to conclude that the success of the development of creative abilities of primary school children directly depends on the organization of educational development space of general educational institutions, involvement of students in artistic and creative activities based on their own experience, knowledge, skills and mental properties. However, recently, both psychologists and educators have noted the underestimation of the nature of primary school children in educational work, which negatively affects its health and development. Based on the analysis of psychological and pedagogical sources, the state of the researched problem is clarified and the essence of the concept of “creative abilities of primary school children” is clarified.
