Analysis of speech reflection of existence through rhyme

Language: Ukrainian

Abstract: Based on the features of the poetic reflection of the world, the article presents an attempt to study consciousness as a process of interaction between mental and mollendo-reflex mappings. The native language is seen as a reflection of the consciousness of the people. The word is explained through glimpses of consciousness are fixed in the ideas connected with the word, as a result of oral reflex. The word is seen as an organ of reflection. In the process of poetic creativity, the writer touches the consciousness of the people. The analysis, which provides the poet relies on the unconscious, which is the consciousness of the people, exciting glimpses of consciousness of thousands of previous generations, recorded in the words of the native language, in the relationships between neurons are not identical neural relations of the images of perception. Regulation consciousness is the mental and mollendo-reflexive reflections, each of which separately may be accessible to consciousness only as the individual guesses and together can more effectively regulate the flow of mental representations in accordance with the requirements of active targeting, provide awareness of being. The mechanism of regulation is content in the field of consciousness one of the threads (mental or mollendo-reflex) due to the variability of another, for the permanent assimilation of DC and AC.

To the question of tasks’ solving by students in complicated conditions

Language: Ukrainian

Abstract: In the paper the methods and techniques of empirical research are given, the transformation process of solving by students constructive-technical tasks is described. In particular the three levels of analysis and transformation strategy of creative tasks solving depending on the predominant manifestation of analogy, combination and reconstruction strategies: algorithmic, prearranged creative, creative are determined. In complicated conditions for constructive-technical task solving (self-limiting and solving time, speed sketching, incomplete condition of formulated task, overload condition of task), thinking action of the analogy, in contrary to analogy or combinatorial, functioning during all process stages, it is not always urgently transformed into the thinking prevailing actions of each of them and therefore they are not transformed into the thinking prevailing trends, which reduce the number of existing thinking strategies. In some complicated conditions, prevailing thinking strategies are dominant at the stage of conception formation, at the stage of understanding the conditions of a task have the episodic character.

Keywords: creative activity; design thinking; constructive-technical task, thinking strategies of analogy, combination, reconstruction, transformation of strategy; complicated conditions.

Epistemological psychology of creativity: the place and the role of pre-image

Language: Ukrainian

Abstract: The central problem of classic epistemology is a problem of construction of new knowledge. One of the actual tasks of the epistemological psychology of creativity is the role of pre-image as one of the profound mechanisms to regulate the creative-mental process. Finding out the essence of pre-image and necessity of its functioning in the epistemological psychology of creation we are, first of all, in search of its sources as its semantic filling. Pre-image as a form of experience is always structured and is seen as a cognitive structure. In the context of finding out the structural-functional essence of pre-image as a classified-conceptual unit of the epistemological psychology of creativity, separate research approaches are regarded to understand and realize the necessity of functioning of the concept of image in psychology and psychology of creativity in particular. The range of problems of constructivism as one of the scientific pre-conditions of the concept of pre-image in the creative-mental activity of the subject is considered to be vital as well as creative constructivism by V. О. Моliako, in particular, as an authorial version of understanding of constructivism approach in the psychology of creativity. It deals with enactivism as a new form of constructivism in epistemology, according to the position of О. М. Kniazeva. It is mentioned that in its conceptual limits, our theme also will be able to get an unconventional decision and will be regarded as a range of problems of the epistemological psychology of creation. The main foundation for our consideration is the understanding of the psychology of creativity as epistemological. Its central problem is the problem of constructing the new by means of the structural and functional participating of pre-image. Pre-image is regarded as one of the key concepts of the epistemological psychology of creativity and is considered as a fundamental structural form of the experience in its broad meaning.

Keywords: the epistemological psychology of creativity, pre-image, experience, mental image, constructivism, enactivism, creative process, unconscious.

The synergic character of imagination’s displays in the processes of difficult objects’ perception by preschool children

Language: Ukrainian

Abstract: In the article the imagination’s displays in the processes of relatively difficult objects’ perception by preschool children are analyzed. It is known, that the kinds of perception can be conditionally divided on two groups: simple and difficult. The first group includes perception of integral objects and their qualities (form, color, size), perception of space, time, movement, in the perception of which the sensations take an active part. The second group includes difficult objects, namely: illustrations, texts, nature, music, human relations, in the perception of which thinking, memory and imagination take an active part. For each kind of perception there is a set of perceptive actions and etalons, which a child adopts in the images and verbal form, grounding on its previous experience. Gradually the development of perceptive process of a child is improved, enriched by new perceptive actions, etalons, vocabulary, complex organization of mental activity, coordination with other mental processes. In this article we observe the synergic character of imagination’s displays in the processes of relatively difficult objects’ perception, some part of such synergic displays, namely: when new image of an object dominates and lightly actualizes the images of imagination; when images of imagination move into first plane and displace in some extent the images of new objects, and when it concerns the dynamic balance achievement between images of imagination and images of perception. The author’s approach is based on the statements about including of imagination to the mental processes of new information’s perception, about leading role of creative analysis and interpretation in children, and actualization operational imagination, which is first of all based on available images, accumulated in child’s experience. That is we mean synergy of relatively autonomous processes of perception, memory (set) and imagination, which are actualized depending on the degree of novelty of a new object. These processes can be described in the paradigm of transformation of images while new tasks’ solving, when we consider the transfer from praimages to images-guidelines and leading images (V. O. Moliako).

Keywords: synergy of processes of perception and imagination, difficult objects, new information, preschool age.

Regulative mechanisms of perceptive-mental strategy of new object’s construction by junior preschool children

Language: Ukrainian

Abstract: To the end of the 21-st century, the psychology of creative activity has ceased to be considered only as a part of general psychology and have started to gain general theoretical-methodological status, the main postulates of which are the statements about creative nature of human psyche. To the present moment, the clearly arranged methodological base was set. It allows observing cognitive processes from the viewpoint of creative activity’s strategic nature. Lately, the row of researches shows that not only in senior preschool children but even younger children, in the cognitive flow we can fix spontaneously appearing leading mental orientation to the searching of analogs, combining and reconstructing. This leading orientation may be called perceptive-mental strategy. Observation of children in the process of integral object’s construction using stimulus materials, given as «figure and background» gave us an opportunity to define the main regulative mechanisms of perceptive-mental strategy, which: function simultaneously, provide the dynamics of integral semantic and object construct’s creation, and they are indicators of strategy’s functioning. A Perceptive-mental strategy appears from the moment of external task’s accepted by the child. In the task, the common data are defined and the condition (task) transforms by analogy with a known example. In the process of task’s accepting the project as the main idea of construction is arising and developing. As far as the project being developed, the understanding of task’s condition by a child changes. The project is realized and transformed in the process of child’s object activity with stimulus materials. The project is indistinct, generalized, easily changeable because of its unformed structure, quickly modified under the influence of new visual stimulus, object actions and happening due to them actualization of previous experience and knowledge. Also, because of the project’s general diffuseness, it does not include concrete separate parts of stimulus material. That is why further project’s transformations are connected with recombining of construction’s parts. These parts, due to the experimental and playing actions, are united by new semantic correlations. The project changes also when object constructing has been finished. Children easily change not only the sense of the construction but also its appearance. The realization of intention (as the task’s solving) is also can easily be transformed and its final result mostly depends on the child’s loss of interest to such activity or on the feeling of satisfaction by the created construction. The transfer of constructing to the more difficult level is realized at the expense of playing and experimental actions of a child with stimulus material.

Keywords: creative perceptions, a transformation of the task’s condition, a transformation of a project, analogizing, visual and imaginative analogs.

Features of development of collaboration with coevals in the conditions of psychical deprivation.

Language: Ukrainian

Abstract: Analyzing the development of communication and the relationships between children in boarding schools, psychologists pay attention to significant deviations that occur in the earliest stages of ontogeny.The researchers assert that experience of communication is the main source that influences children and forms their attitude to the other people and themselves.Monitoring at boarding schools indicates a great need for communication and adults` friendly attitude to them adults.Analyzing the characteristics of communication and interaction of children with adults psychologists mention that children who are brought up in an orphanage differ in the development of communication with children who are brought up in the family. First of all, the orphans communicate quite differently with people they show increasing interest than children in adult family, but they are characterized by reduced activity in communicating with adults, by primitive desire to individual contacts, by poorly developed an interest in business cooperation. Business cooperation between a child and adult is very necessary to be analysed. Psychologists say that almost no child has a desire to work with adults, the desire to do something with him. Children are not trying to attract attention to his toys, to study them, to ask cognitive questions. During reading activity the orphans practically do not show any interest, they do not ask questions, do not express their points of view. Thus, the emerging commitment to adult and failure to establish a boarding productive cooperation and communication with people shows the child does not develop the desire to follow the steps of adults as a model, promoting` the absorption of child’s cultural achievements of mankind and its orientation in the environment.

Keywords: psychological deprivation, interrelation, communication, collaboration, children in boarding schools.

Conceptual paradigms of personal self-efficacy

Abstract: The article analyzes Bandura’s conceptual paradigm of self-efficacy. The self-efficacy sources in the context of reciprocal determinism of the social learning theory are determined. The concept of "own efficacy" is considered through the estimative projection. The importance of delimitation of such ideas as "expectation of efficiency" and "expectation of the result" in the continuum "personality - behavior - result" for self-efficacy understanding is emphasized. G.S. Kostiuk’s conceptual paradigm about the issues of becoming an effective person is described. The article concludes that the scientist initiated originally for the first time in the pedagogical and age psychology (both in national and foreign psychology) systemic studying of personal efficacy. The prospects of scientific researching of self-efficacy in the context of psychological security of a creative person, proposed by V. O. Molyako, are outlined.

Interrelations of hardiness and self-organization components of cadets – would be law enforcement officers in the context of the psychological support program

Abstract: The article presents the findings of the empirical study of the relationship of interrelations of hardiness and self-organization components of cadets – would be law enforcement officers in the context of the psychological support program. Self-organization of the subject ensures achievement of the set goals and the construction of one's own life path. The concept of self-organization is extremely relevant for the training of cadets, as preparation for professional activities in the system of higher police education differs significantly from training in civilian higher institutions. Ability to self-organization is a necessary condition for effective management of personal time, which ensures the productivity of subjective strategies of activity and the success of personal and professional self-realization. The study found that among cadets who study in the context of a psychological support program, the individual components of self-organization of activity actualize all the components of the cadets' hardiness and its overall level. In the group of cadets studying under the regular program, self-organization of activity actualizes the separate components of their hardiness. Thus, the interrelationships of hardiness and self-organization components of the cadets included in the psychological support program testify to the need for further development of a psychological support program for the study of cadets aimed at optimizing hardiness in its interrelations with self-organization of activity.

Keywords: cadets, higher police education, hardiness, psychological support program, self-organization

Abstract: Taking into account progressive increase in a proportion of people of post-retirement age in economically developed countries, a problem of realization of one's abilities during the period of gerontogenesis requires a decision with the aim of optimizing his or her psychological health. Purpose of the article is to focus attention on the possibility of developing the creative abilities of a person throughout the entire period of ontogenesis, including its final period - gerontogenesis. Of particular importance is the problem of realizing by people their abilities in the period of aging and old age, when the basic social expectations for the person are fulfilled by him or her with varying degree of success (child-rearing, professional fulfillment, etc.). In this period, incongruence between the biological life expectancy of a person and his or her social intenseness may arise, which negatively affects the formation of the self-image. According to the results of the research, it can be argued that at an older age, both the actualization of abilities and the realization of potential, which were not disclosed in previous periods of ontogeny, are possible. The article describes an experiment with the evidence base of the positive impact of the fulfillment of creative potential on optimization of the psychological health of the old and aging person and indirect improvement of interpersonal relations with their sociocultural environment.

Keywords: gerontogenesis, intelligence; intellectual development; creativity, mental health.

The attention is accentuated on the presence of different types of mathematical task’s solving algorithms, that apriori reduces to the application of analogizing mental actions when new mathematical tasks’ solving. By the results of mathematical thinking researches’ analysis, the approach to its study through the analysis of dominating mental actions when the creative mathematical tasks’ solving have been defined. Analogizing is considered to be one of the mental tendencies in the creative mathematical thinking that often displays during the whole process of mathematical tasks’ solving. The authors distinguish three component processes: the process of understanding, the process of prognostication and approbation process, which contain their microstages. It has been ascertained, that analogizing actions can be met on each microstage of component processes of creative mathematical thinking and the analysis of analogies’ searching on each microstage of the components have been carried out. Actions on the analogy to the known etalons can favor the searching activity as well as interfere with it. It has been stated, that in some cases mental actions by the analogy become dominating mental tendencies and reduce the effectiveness of the searching process. It has been accentuated on the significance of subjective confidence in the quality of the gained result, in the ability of continuation of mental actions with the using of analogies. It has been proved, that in the case of domination of analogizing tendency during all component processes and the subject gains the subjective confidence in the correctness of his actions, such tendency transforms into the analogizing mental strategy.

Keywords: creative mathematical thinking, analogizing, mental tendency, mental strategy.

Language: Ukrainian

Abstract: The article presents the experimental study of prognostic self-esteem as a determinant of pupils’ personal efficiency. The macro-genesis of prognostic self-esteem architectonics characteristic for pupils with different personal efficiency is described. The macro-genetic tendencies of prognostic self-esteem formation at different stages of ontogenesis are revealed. The decline in the adequacy of pupils’ prognostic self-esteem during the transition from primary to secondary school is marked; such decline indicates difficulties in an adaptation of pupils having high or average personal efficiency. The destructive tendencies of prognostic self-esteem formation at low-performing pupils of the junior and middle school age are determined. The experimental study has revealed that the dynamics of prognostic self-esteem of highly effective third-six form pupils have a unified profile. The decline inadequacy during the transition from primary to secondary school has been noted, indicating difficulties of adaptation of pupils having high personal efficiency. Prognostic self-esteem is clearly divided into three levels in the macro-genesis of middle-school pupils. The adequacy/inadequacy dichotomy is fractured also at five-form pupils having average personal efficiency, which testifies difficulties of the pupils’ adaptation. The destructive tendencies in prognostic self-esteem formation of low-performing pupils of junior and middle school age have been determined.

Keywords: genesis, determinants, ontogenetic dynamics, personal efficiency, personality, assessment, evaluative attitudes, self-esteem, prognostic self-esteem.

Self-actualization as a factor in the professional self-fulfillment of the programmer

Language: Ukrainian

Abstract: The article presents the results of research aimed at identifying the features of self-actualization of the personality of the programmer as a factor in his professional self-fulfillment. It has been determined that programmers have significantly higher baseline self-actualization test scores, where their "excessive vital self-actualization" negatively affects the individual components of their professional self-fulfillment, both in the internal and in the professional field, which requires additional research. It was also found that for programmers inherent, as a rule, a high level of professional self-fulfillment. It has been determined that for programmers, as a rule, a sufficiently high level of professional self-fulfillment is inherent. It is revealed that the older the programmers, the higher their overall level of professional self-fulfillment and the level of self-actualization. Also, with the age their need for professional development increases, a project of their own professional development appears, the satisfaction of their professional achievements prevails, personal potential and abilities in the profession are revealed, and they become more independent as well as more autonomous. The effectiveness of programmers has a credible positive relationship only with the disclosure of personal potential and skills in the profession. But the internal motivation has a negative correlation with the achievement of their professional goals. That is, the higher the internal motivation, the less valuable it is for them to achieve the professional goals. It has been established that the higher the programmer's ability to live in the present time and to experience the present moment of his life in its entirety, the lower his self-efficiency, and the less the influence of external positive motivation on him. Also interesting is the relationship of self-esteem of a programmer with external negative motivation, namely: the higher the programmer's self-esteem, the less the impact on him has an external negative motivation. Constant production of new professional goals correlates positively with external positive motivation, and recognition of achievements of a specialist professional community - with external negative motivation, which also characterizes the expressed specificity of professional activity of programmers.

Keywords: self-actualization, programmer, professional development, self-fulfillment, professional self-fulfillmen.

Language: Ukrainian

Abstract: The article presents a generalized definition of the concept of the personality’s motivational sphere as the center of the personality space, where all personal characteristics, determining the character of motivational processes defining the direction, ensuring stability and integrity of the personality, intersect.

Perceptive-mental strategy as a property of personality

Language: Ukrainian

Abstract: In the article presents theoretical review of the scientific literature on the problem of the defining of the notion «perception» and its properties (selectivity, structuredness, intelligence, objectivation, nonlinearity, adequacy, syncretisity, constancy, integrity). Basing on the analysis of the dictionaries and literature on psychology of creativity, we define the main functions of the strategy: it defines the subject’s readiness for creative activity, streamlines the processing information, allows to estimate the timeliness of actions, vectors the creative activity’s realization, distinguishes certain information from the general informational flow, vectors the interpretation of information, defines the orientation for future, ranges the purposes’ hierarchy, defines the vector of searching, the direction of tasks solving. We consider the perceptive-mental strategy as a property, directing the personality on the achievement of harmony with the surrounding in the process of their interaction. It integrally defines the ability of personality for creative activity, orients her for the successfulness of the decision making and realization in the process of tasks’ performance, vectors the interpretation, understanding of information, in the sequel it is realized in the constructive activity, orients a personality for future. The perceptive-mental strategy favors the constructive solving of contradictions between the available knowledge and experience and new demands of actual situation, what makes its creative character. The perceptive-mental strategy as a property of personality defines its individual-psychological peculiarities.

Keywords: perception, apperception, properties of perception, strategy, the functions of strategy, perceptive-mental strategy, creation, the property of personality, individual-psychological peculiarities of personality.
