Kreatywność jako ostateczna i instrumentalna wartość młodzieży
Abstract
The author considers cognitive and creative teaching method to be one of the signifi cant ways of
developing creativity in the adolescents. The aim of this article is not only to provide the characteristics
of creativity as the ultimate and instrumental value of the contemporary youth but also
to hint at the possibilities of its formation under the conditions of current school, in particular
in foreign language teaching, namely in teaching the English language. The article provides the
information on one of the author’s study, which scientifi cally records the development of creativity
in factors such as fl uency, fl exibility and originality, as well as pupils’ attitude towards this
phenomenon; the author has also attempted to identify the personality traits determining the development
of creativity. The fi ndings of this natural experiment are quantitatively processed and
qualitatively interpreted. Issuing from the research fi ndings, the author formulates conclusions
for theory, methodology and educational practice. The leitmotif of the article is the idea that the
age of adolescence is suitable not only for the development of critical and creative thinking but
it is also an opportunity to incorporate these phenomena into the value system of contemporary
youth.
