At the same time, they develop intellectual qualities: sensation, perception, attention, memory — especially visual; the ability to find dependencies and patterns, classify and systematize material; the ability to combine, that is, the ability to create new combinations from known elements, parts, objects; the ability to find mistakes and shortcomings; spatial representation and imagination, the ability to foresee the results of their actions. Together, these qualities make up intelligence, ingenuity and creative thinking. The goals, objectives, peculiarities of TIPS pedagogy are characterized. Some TIPS methods and techniques are considered, as well as the methodology for their use in working with preschool children. The description (name, goal, course of the game) of educational didactic games with TIPS elements is given. It is concluded that by using the TIPS methodology in working with preschool children, we develop a creative personality, imagination and fantasy. TIPS helps to reduce formulaic thinking, reveals the flexibility of thought, helps to see and make decisions, teaches people to use unusual methods, helps to develop horizons.

The article discusses the main trends in the process of building creativity in engineering students. It is highlighted that the productivity of an engineer's activity is determined not only by modern techniques and technologies, but also by the personal potential of the engineer as a creator. The authors investigate the problem of shaping the qualities of a creative personality in engineering students and the development of professionally important competences. The authors' study of the views of various researchers made it possible to identify the main trends in the formation of creative thinking among students in a technical university. Particular attention is paid to the technical bilingualism of the future specialist. It becomes a prerequisite for future success in the profession. Fluent knowledge of a foreign language and the ability to read technical documentation in another language on a par with Russian makes an engineer in demand, and creates more realistic conditions for Russia's integration into the world system of industrial relations.

The article is devoted to one of the urgent problems of modern psychology - the problem of personality traits in the development of children with high creative potential. The main attention is paid to their motivational manifestations at the stage of preschool childhood. Motivation is seen as an important factor in the disclosure of children's abilities and gifts. The approach proposed by A.M. Matyushkin is used to understand and study giftedness as a prerequisite for the development of a creative personality. The article presents the results of an empirical study, which purpose was to highlight the features of the motivation of preschoolers with high creative potential. The study involved 265 preschoolers of 6-7 years old. The use of a complex of diagnostic techniques made it possible to identify a group of children (N = 52) with a high creative potential among them, and to analyze the specifics of their motivational manifestations in comparison with their peers. It was found that their desire to learn new things was more pronounced than that among their peers. Different variants of the ratio of motivational manifestations are highlighted. More than half of preschoolers, both among the gifted and among their peers, were characterized by a balance of motivational manifestations and their severity: they equally wanted to learn new things and play. At the same time, the willingness to be active and proactive in cognition was observed in less than a third of older preschool children, regardless of the level of their creative potential. The need to take into account the age characteristics of motivation and the individual variability of its manifestations at the stage of preschool childhood for the successful disclosure of children's talents and the harmonious development of a creative personality is emphasized.

In the article, the need for the development of cognitive abilities is discussed in accordance with modern needs in order to form creative personality. The authors consider such cognitive functions as perception, sensation, attention, memory, imagination, speech, which play an important role in the formation of creative thinking. Today, a decrease in cognitive functions in humans is a barrier to the development of creative thinking. The purpose of this article is to analyze the causes of cognitive decline, to order recommendations for addressing these causes and the development of cognitive abilities. The relationship between thinking and cognitive functions has been explained, reflecting the activity of the brain as a unified holistic structure. The sides of cognitive functions such as implicitness, relevance, selectivity and dependency have been highlighted. The idea of teaching pupils and students in educational institutions not only to the subject, but to the ability to listen, remember, concentrate and solve problems is put forward.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a play program in the creative thinking of preschool children. The study used a repeated measures experimental pretest-posttest design with control groups. The sample included 86 participants aged 5 to 6 years (53 experimental and 33 control participants). Before and after administering the program, two evaluation instruments were applied: The Torrance Test of Creative Thinking (Torrance, 1990) and Behaviors and Traits of Creative Personality Scale (Garaigordobil & Berrueco, 2007). The program consisted of a weekly 75-minute play session throughout the school year. ANOVA results showed that the program significantly increased the verbal creativity (fluency, flexibility, originality), graphic creativity (elaboration, fluency, originality), and behaviors and traits of creative personality. In the pretest phase, there were no differences in the creativity of boys and girls, and the program stimulated a similar level of change in both sexes. The discussion focuses on the importance of implementing creative programs with preschool children.

A sample of 188 children in three age groups, preschool, first and third grades, were administered the Patterns Task of the Multidimensional Stimulus Fluency Measure in four test conditions. The conditions systematically varied dimension (three or two) and presentation mode (handling or nonhandling). The fluency measure assessed ideational fluency, popular and original responses, as a measure of creative potential in young children. Analysis showed that dimensionality does not play a major role in the generation of original responses for any grade. However, handling 3-dimensional or 2-dimensional stimuli did appear to facilitate original thinking in preschool children. The use of 2-dimensional photographs which depict dimensionality appeared to compensate for the need to have 3-dimensional stimuli.
