THE MODEL OF SELF-REGULATION OF FUTURE PSYCHOLOGISTS’ CREATIVE ACTIVITY: THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to study the actual problem of forming creative potential and developing self-regulation of future psychologists’ creative activity in the context of modern educational reforms and globalisation challenges. Growing demands on specialists who must have a high level of flexible skills necessitate the improvement of professional training of applicants in higher education institutions. Particular attention is paid to the development of creative thinking, effective adaptation and the ability to make non-standard decisions under conditions of uncertainty. The research methodology is based on an integrated approach that includes an analysis of scientific literature, empirical methods of studying the level of creativity and self-regulation, as well as the development and testing of an integrated model for the development of these qualities in future psychologists. The methods used are theoretical analysis, comparative generalisation, observation, testing, questionnaires and statistical data processing. The scientific novelty lies in the development of a multicomponent integrated model for the development of selfregulation of future psychologists’ creative activity. The main components of self-regulation (motivation, concentration, reflection, imagination, planning, control and correction) are identified and methods of their purposeful formation in the process of professional training are developed. The importance of creating a creative educational environment for the development of students’ creative potential is substantiated. Conclusions. The study proves that the development of future psychologists’ creative potential and self-regulation is a necessary factor in their professional competence. The proposed model integrates theoretical and practical aspects of the development of creative self-regulation and can be implemented in the educational process of higher education institutions. Its application will help to improve the effectiveness of professional training of students, develop their flexibility, creativity and emotional stability, which, in turn, will increase their competitiveness in the labour market.
