THE LEVEL AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF CREATIVE ABILITIES OF CZECH AND SLOVAK STUDENTS

Summary/Abstract: Changes in work style in our schools occur with the change of our social environment. Teachers prepare their pupils for life in a society which we don’t know exactly as to what demands on its members it will have and what abilities and skills it will require from them. In recent years, the objective conditions of the study itself have changed as well as the conditions for developing creative abilities. Due to the large number of students, space for face-to-face contact between a lecturer and a student is in decline and new technologies come to the foreground and those do not always support the development of creativity. Creative abilities fade away also because of so called multi-functionality of students – studies, work, sports and social networks. The article discusses research into the creative abilities of students of teacher training for primary degree with Urban´s Test of Creative Abilities – TSD-Z in Slovakia and in the Czech Republic. It also presents both the methodology and the requirements for the training of creativity on the schools of all levels.
