EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES OF UNIVERSITY ENVIRONMENT

IN DEVELOPING CREATIVE POTENTIAL STUDENTS

OF THE FACULTY OF SPORT

The need to develop a new creative pedagogy, based on a philosophy of creativity, is an important goal of modern society, which in full can be applied to Sport and Physical Education, where a priority in training highly skilled athletes is given to the activation of creative potential of the coach with active subjective position. Taking the diversity of theoretical definitions of creative activity, the concept of "creativity" and "creativity" [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] into account, we assumed that the intenseness of a man in his creative development is the aspiration to own importance [6]. But the pursuit of self importance can be realized in various ways, depending on the external and internal conditions, therefore, the relevance of the study is defined on the one hand, as the objectives of the modernization of the modern Russian education system, which is focused on the formation and development of creative competitive person, and on the other hand, an entirely new meaning of the concept art, therefore new approaches and methods to its estimation. As such an approach, we used one of the most affordable and adequate methods for the analysis of personality - self-evaluation, and as a criterion for the students' level of creativity was used a test of an assessment of creative potential of the identity of Sharov [7]. The study was conducted at the Faculty of Physical Education of Surgut State University, during the 2011-12 academic years at all levels (courses) of study. The study involved 257 people, students of the Faculty of Physical Education, 18-23 years old of both sexes.

Our results of self-creativity are presented in Table 1.

To make it clear, we suggest the profile creative qualities for every individual group of students. The result is shown in Figure 1.
Such graphical interpretation of the results, unfortunately, does not allow us to identify those personal traits that each student individually identifies as a priority in its structure, but it allows us to see a complete picture of the structure of creativity and change it within time-being. It is the time-picture that shows that the total profile of the creative potential of students for five years of study remains unchanged. In our case, it is, above all, to suggest that the university as an educational institution and university education, as it is, doesn’t play the main role in the development of creative skills of young people. For the Faculty of Physical Education, it is not a tragedy, because the athletes are aimed primarily at achieving sporting result, there are other way for creative abilities besides a "desire for self-importance." But if the university seems it necessary to have an impact on the development of the creative potential of its athletes, its primary objective is to find some adequate ways to provide such an effect.

Another thing is the structure of the profile. In implementing the importance of self-importance in a very specific (in this case, sports) activity in the structure of the chart, even for a large number of people there must be a specific, directed peak of specified quality of the individual, (as in the shaded sample diagram), which reflects the main direction of the implementation of creative significance. However, it’s hardly seen in the students’ structure of creativity, it might imply some other processes in the highly-observed levels of self-esteem. Moreover, such a smoothed graphic picture is typical for a non-optimal way of self-esteem when a person has a claim on his own importance, but there is no psychological or any other basis for its implementation.

Technically, we have not identified people with non-optimal level of a self-assessment. It gives us an idea that the creativity development must be completely different, aiming not only at development, but at the use of the creative potential of students. However, anyone who has tried to organize the activities of students, beyond the standard rules or regulations, ran not so much a desire to participate, but rather to avoid it, which is hardly possible due to high level of creativity. It is a reflection of the condition, in our opinion, that is already mentioned as our "smoothed" profile structure, which allows us to speak not only about inadequate but unreasonably high self-esteem, the high level of claims. In this case, confidence is built not onthe presenceof success,but inthe absence offailure, andthis confidenceis graduallybecomingunreasonablyhigh.First failuresare ignored,explainedby chance,external causes, repeated failure is accompanied by strongemotional reactions, sometimes affectivenature, which may lead to a reductionof themotiveforce, and even abandon it.There isa heavyemotional state -the affectof inadequacy,which is themain cause ofresistancestereotypeoverestimatinghis personality.Judging by the pictureprofile, characterized by the complete absence ofanyactivity, the third-year students are overwhelmed with it. Total absence of people with low self-esteem only confirms these findings. It means there is not only an opportunity but the need for the university to direct its work in the right channel of restructuring the creativity, adapting it to the challenges of modern society and thus relieve the tension between the university and the person.

We understand that the results we obtained are preliminary, the issue requires further study and research, to fully understand the problem, we need to identify the priority of personal traits for creative potential. But it is clear that to improve the quality of education as an indicator of the effectiveness of the implementation of the educational process in high school, it’s not enough to study the psychological characteristics of students, give them psychological support at the university, especially during their first years of studies, but seriously change their approaches to learning, to create new space for personal development in university education. Only a person who is able to make the most of the various spaces of his creative potential is able to estimate it and be effective in his self-realization in the future.

The objective of the university is to provide this opportunity for a person.
