Students' Creativity: Possibilities of a Mixed Consortium Model

Abstract

In the modern world almost any professional field requires specialists who possess innovative thinking skills, who can solve non-standard tasks, who can take a fresh look at their usual activities and offer breakthrough solutions. Such specialists are especially important in the face of serious challenges of globalization, such as a pandemic. Thus, one of the important tasks of education is development of a creative, active, independent personality, ready to new forms of social life, capable of transforming reality, aimed at self-development. The purpose of the study is to develop and test a mixed model of a consortium for development of students' creative activity. The main method of study was the formative experiment. We have also used diagnostic tools taking into account the components, criteria and indicators of development of students' creativity. One hundred sixty-seven people took part in the experiment, of which 87 were students of Kazan Federal University, 80 people were students of Vyatka State University. The result of the article is the mixed consortium model for development of students' creative activity, which allows teachers to use active learning strategies and include students in progressively more complex educational online activities that ensure development of learning motivation, creativity and creative skills.
