- Abstract
This article substantiates the thesis of efficiency of enculturation for the development of schoolchildren’s creativity. Key concepts of creation and creativity are outlined, their contradictions are labeled. The paper presents an approach towards understanding and development of creativity, the base of which are representations of psycho-semiotics, cultural heritage and existential psychology. It is demonstrated that creativity constitutes a feature of an individual manifested in the implementation of personal significance by means of culture. Both components of creativity are characterized. The article reveals that the development of creativity is associated with semantic dynamics and shaping of signification skills of meaningful expression through the facilities of sign systems. The article provides substantiation for the understanding of educational environment as a system related with culture as a basic system and an individual in terms of homomorphy. Dependence of semantic development of a schoolchild on the kind of structural components of the culture, the values of which are being carried over via educational environment, has been demonstrated. The description of the ontologic structure of culture is given. The article shows the significance of its kernel formation – a reference culture that transmits meanings by means of precedent-setting texts. The role of the reference culture in the processes of creativity development is revealed. Cultural eclecticism, when values of different structural components of the structure are being transmitted in the educational environment is assumed to cause unpredictable developmental effects. The paper reveals the content of “enculturation” concept and its fundamental importance for the creativity development mechanism. A psycho-semiotic model of educational environment at school dedicated to the development of creativity of schoolchildren is described
