Abstract
According to modern research, the problems of developing creativity and creating a creative learning environment (CLE) are multidimensional phenomena, and are considered in combination with different pedagogical approaches. The purpose of the study was to analyze pedagogical approaches to the creation of CLE aimed at developing the creativity of younger schoolchildren. The article presents the results of a scientific review and theoretical analysis of pedagogical approaches and methods of creating a CLE. Based on the provisions of the system approach, the structure of the CLE is determined: a favorable atmosphere that stimulates the creative activity of students; fund of problematic tasks that contribute to the freedom of action of participants; the personality of the teacher who stimulates and directs the process; various types of activities, contributing to a creative approach to solving educational tasks. The provisions of pedagogical approaches (Systemic, Activity-based, Personality-oriented, Environmental) aimed at the development of creativity are substantiated. The theoretical significance of the study: the analysis of approaches to the development of creativity in the CLE is carried out; an addition to the traditional pedagogical approaches is proposed to their content, aimed at the development of creativity (methods and technologies). We associate the prospects for further research with the development of a model of a CLE aimed at developing students' creativity.
