LITERARY CREATIVITY OF SCHOOLCHILDREN ON THE BASIS OF «IMAGINATIONAL OBJECTS»

The author supports the idea that creative work is an important stimulus of modern Ukrainian schoolchild’s personality development and this kind of educational activity should play an essential role in the process of art of the word studying. The paper deals with the elaboration of a specific method of organizing schoolchildren’s literary creativity. The scientist bases his investigation on the R. Ingarden’s notion of «imaginational objects», defines their peculiarities, determines their role in the activization of schoolchildren’s creative potential. So attention is drawn to event, chronotopical and imagery systems of the work of fiction, the elements of which are specified as key words («imaginational objects») and can play the role of a starting point in the organization of schoolchildren’s literary creativity. In author’s opinion, such work should be standardized, with schoolchildren getting the same key words, which name places of events, events themselves, their participants, and at the same time there should a possibility for creative self-expression of children. In such a way, it is possible to organize schoolchildren’s work in a specific way: literary works by different schoolchildren, written on the ground of the same key words, can be analyzed and compared, and thus better artistic versions will be found. Schoolchildren get common standard basis, which enables the participants of educational process to comprehend the development of artistic thought and the level of creative potential of each child. The author elaborated certain questionnaires, which help to analyze and estimate the results of creative work. Schoolchildren should outline «imaginational objects», describing them and adding some specific features to them, setting their certain semantic vector, creating an artistic picture, where the proposed key words become imagery centres. These words can be proposed both by the teacher and schoolchildren themselves (which presupposes their mutual agreement on their selection), or they can be taken from literary texts of well-known authors.
