Developing Independent Creativity in Pupils: Neuroscientific Discourse and Ukraine’s Experience

Abstract

The article deals with the process of updating the content and methods of technological training. The latter aims to form pupils’ skills of independent creativity and educational and handicraft activities, which act as the means of improving education quality. The international relevance of the article lies in the objectification of Ukraine’s experience, which can be used in the post-Soviet countries, given that these countries follow conservative principles in planning and implementing educational content. The article proves that the effectiveness of developing pupils’ experience of independent creativity during handicraft and technology lessons is determined by the following organizational and methodological conditions: comprehending the need for independent creativity; developing pupils’ positive motivation towards independent creative handicraft and technology activities; improving educational and methodological support; using innovative pedagogical technologies and information and communication technologies. The article summarizes research findings of certain Ukrainian and foreign researchers, which adds up to the generalized contribution of its authors.

Neuropsychological Fundamentals of Envy

“…According to Heider's theory of equilibrium (1958), one can want a certain thing only because someone else has it, although he or she has never felt the need for it before and has not even thought about it. As noted by Berbets et al (2021); Demchenko et al (2021); Karasievych (2021); Kosholap et al (2021); Lebreton et al (2012); Prots et al (2021); Sarancha (2021) the desirability of the stimulus increases if one sees that this stimulus is significant and is desirable for someone he or she is watching. Interestingly, advertising relies on "the effect of mimetic infection" and "the pursuit of someone else's goal".…”

Processes of Local Transition of Ukraine’s Economy and Processes of Global Transition of the World Economy: Contemporary Changes in the Language Space

“…Based on the use of lexical-semantic field theory, ontological and associative relations between concepts are established, which allows to use the study of lexical-semantic innovations in transition economies in the processes of neuro-modelling and the acquisition of new knowledge, etc (Berbets et al, 2021;Demchenko et al, 2021;Karasievych et al, 2021;Kosholap et al, 2021;Sarancha et al, 2021;Prots et al, 2021).…”

The Concept of Professional Reflection in Ukrainian Psycho-Pedagogical Literature: Regard or Disregard for Neurophysiological Factors?

“…As noted by MacFadden & Schoech (2010), the human brain naturally includes unconscious emotions and conscious cognition of mental processes, and professional decision-making combines these rational and emotional systems. This fact forces one to reconsider the aspects of student training and the basics of professional deontology (Karasievych et al, 2021;Berbets et al, 2021;Sarancha et al, 2021;Demchenko et al, 2021;Prots et al, 2021;Kosholap et al, 2021). Besides, it is clear that professional reflection in its neurophysiological basis does not differ from social reflection: it is simply surrounded by ethical, professional and volitional limitations of the employee.…”
