WHAT'S HAPPENED CREATION?

Expansion task creative human capabilities in recent years has been considered by psychologists as the most effective way to actively personality development.

Creativity - activity, generating something qualitatively new and distinguished by uniqueness, originality and socio-historical uniqueness. A person may have many different moods, but he has one soul, and he subtly puts this soul into everything he does. creation. John Galsworthy.
2. Creativity in the work of a teacher is, one might say, a special kind activities aimed at creating a new product. This "highlight", with which teachers captivate children with new knowledge. Creation present in everyone's work teacher regardless of his work experience or education
Pedagogical activity is a manifestation of constant versatility creativity. It assumes the presence of teacher of creative abilities, qualities, among which initiative and activity, attention and observation, the art of thinking outside the box, rich imagination and intuition occupy an important place
We, teachers, like no one else, must be creative people. After all, in order develop creativity in children, you need to be yourself creative people. You cannot create something new in any area of life without having creative abilities. The main thing is that creativity can be developed not only in children, but also in yourself, above all in yourself. To be effective teacher and at the same time maintaining professional health, it is necessary to see, find and create new things in the profession. How to find something new? According to Soviet film director Sergei Gippius So: “Make the difficult familiar, the familiar easy, the easy beautiful”.

II. Main part.
1. U a creative teacher – creatively developed students.
2. Creativity– a set of human qualities that determine the possibility and boundaries of his participation in a certain activities.
Creative development of a teacher– this is a long process, the purpose of which is to develop a person as a master of his craft, a true professional.
Level teacher's creative potential determines work performance teacher with children. The consequence of insufficient creative activity of the teacher is a decrease in children’s motivation to acquire knowledge, the status of an institution, and a decrease in the level of the educational process.
In our experience we often hear from teachers"We don't know how to be creative people, we don't know how create.
3. For successful development of a teacher’s creative potential the following are required pedagogical conditions:
– high professional and personal teacher potential;
– motivational readiness teacher;
– awareness of innovations;
– material base.
4. Communication of the results of the survey.
5. Creativity.
Personality is considered creative, if she has creativity as a way of transformation activities in the creative process.
"Creativity is creative direction“, innately characteristic of everyone, but lost by the majority under the influence of the existing system of upbringing, education and social practice.”
How often do we ask ourselves questions and reflect on them? Are we thinking, and not looking for ready-made answers from loved ones, friends, in literature or on the Internet?
In modern life, serious employers are always in demand for employees who can find creative solving the assigned problems. Such people are often called creatives.
6. Where do they come from and why is it "not given to everyone"? Why are the majority of people great performers?
Let's try to figure this out together.
A newborn baby is completely dependent on the environment and is "open book". He absorbs the culture, language, traditions of his family. Then the social circle increases, the child joins society.
At some stage, a moment comes when the child begins to exhibit individual personality traits that do not coincide with the qualities of those around him. And then the adults They say: “Character shows.”.
During childhood the process creativity is natural for any child. Children don’t think about how beautifully they draw or sing. They simply do it with all their hearts, completely immersing themselves in the process. In the process of growing up, a person acquires new experiences, new qualities, while losing the characteristic features of a child. Including the need for creativity and openness to the outside world. And this process development we take for granted. On the contrary, if an adult shows signs of a child, we are surprised, perplexed, and even sometimes condemn: "fell into childhood", "acts like a child". There are certain stereotypes and patterns of behavior that must be met "normal" adults. And people creative, musical, literary or scientific geniuses, as a rule, "Having their head in the clouds", "not of this world", "white crows" etc.
If we consider "white crows" closer, you can see that these are people who boldly express their own views and ideas that are different from the generally accepted ones. They are far from caring about their daily bread; they care little about human passions. There are many examples when a person in the process of creations, forgot about time, food, sleep, and those around him. And in this state he "like a child", he is free, he floats along the river of inspiration, trusting its flow.
7. In order to find inner freedom and remember the feeling creative flight, I suggest you understand yourself a little. And do it in a few stages:
Stage 1: Tame the animal in you.
Man is one of the elements of the living world of our planet. And of course we still have many animal instincts. This is fine. But here question: who controls us? Instincts or human reason?
As far as we know, ancient people were not particularly gentle towards their own kind. They were accompanied by a struggle for power, for the best piece of food, housing, and the best partner. It was necessary to survive in the group at any cost. And the more aggressive a person behaved, the more people recognized his power. The weak were attacked not only by enemies, but also by relatives. He was the weak link of the group, a burden, so he was either the first to die or expelled from the community. Now take a closer look at your relationships at work, among friends, casual acquaintances, in your family. Are we that far from our ancestors? Most of modern psychology is aimed at developing leadership, in fact, at the struggle for power, at mastering manipulation techniques and achieving one’s own goals.
How do we raise our children? "You must be strong!" "Don't be a wimp!"
“You have to study a lot, go to a prestigious university in order to be successful! Have you asked your question? child: “Is there any in your class (group) anyone who needs help and support? Do you instill in your children compassion and tolerance for other people's mistakes and weaknesses? How are you doing with this yourself?
Ancient people lived by instincts. They assumed the presence of some higher power that needed to be appeased so as not to provoke anger. This higher power was distant and unclear. Most of my life was spent at the mercy of instincts. At the same time, our ancestors were very sensitive to nature, animals, and the environment. They could read them like an open book.
Think and answer yourself a few questions.
How often are you truly aware of your actions?
How often do you ask yourself question: “Why do I need this?”
How often do you do in life what you really want, and not what others expect from you, what your sense of duty obliges you to do?
Do you recognize the presence of a Supreme Intelligence in one form or another?
What is your relationship with the world around you, nature? What are they for? you: habitat or living substance with its own laws, soul?
Now let's look at the whole situation and let's think about it: Have we gone so far from ancient people with their animal instincts? Or maybe we have even degenerated in some way?
I hope that after these reflections the process has become clearer to you. "taming" animal in yourself.
Stage 2: refusal to belong to a family, clan, group.
The title sounds like a call for revolution. But don't rush to conclusions. We are not talking about the fact that a person should leave his family and go on a “single voyage.”
We will see our personal attachments as a limitation creativity.
When a child is born, he enters a family. Each family has its own traditions, rules of behavior, and communication with each other. And the child perceives them as the only correct ones. Then he gets into society: kindergarten group, school class, then university, work. And everywhere there are their own norms of behavior, rules of communication, clothing style, etc. Gradually, a person turns into a kind of living robot, living “like everyone else,” dressing in the style of his environment, using a certain vocabulary, etc.
Living in accordance with the requirements of others is comfortable and profitable. But expressing your opinion, even if it goes against established norms, is unprofitable. Such actions can lead to conflict and deprivation of material wealth. And so we humble ourselves. After all, everyone lives like this. If we don’t like something, we grumble within ourselves or in the kitchen with our family, but ultimately we obey. This is dependence on group membership. It is these kinds of dependencies that need to be gotten rid of. We must learn to be with ourselves, stop hiding behind masks and playing theatrical roles. Just trying to look "a good person", you cannot become one. We must learn to live, how to breathe - also freely. Naturally, this does not cancel respect for others, for their right to be themselves. Observe yourself, your behavior and honestly answer yourself a few questions.
How often do you “step over yourself”?
Where and in what situations does this happen most often?
Why are you doing this? What is your benefit?
Or is it fear? Then what are you afraid of?
What prevents you from being yourself?
How could your life change if you began to let go of your limitations?
And one last thing. When will you start getting rid of them?
Stage 3: refusal to belong to a profession.
Let's look at the process of choosing a profession by a person.
During childhood, a child begins to demonstrate some abilities to a greater extent than others. Usually parents begin to make efforts to develop precisely these inclinations. If a child draws well, we’ll send him to an art school, if he sings well, he’ll go to a music school, and if he has a penchant for technology, he’ll go to a computer class.
In itself, such a reaction from parents does not represent anything bad. Talents needed develop. But there is a fine line between development the child’s talents for the sake of his future and the desire to have a talented child for the sake of his own vanity or the realization of personal unfulfilled dreams. In addition to this, all other types creative activity disappears from view. The child simply does not have enough time for them. Thus, we begin to limit it with our own hands.
Then parents with the child, and some for the child, begin to choose a university or other professional educational institution. On what basis? Preference is given to the institution where it is easier or has a better chance of admission. Or where you can get a prestigious, in-demand profession that guarantees a good position in society and a decent salary.
Having received a profession, a person goes to work in the chosen profile. And even if he changes employers, his profession remains unchanged. When we take a new job, we immerse ourselves in it, trying to carry out assignments with maximum efficiency in order to demonstrate our professional qualities and receive good material rewards in the form of a salary, a high position, etc. We devote a lot of effort and time to improving our skills in our chosen field. areas.
If we add family concerns to this time, then it is clear that we most often do not have enough time for other activities. Maximum for the evening watching TV or partying with friends.
In essence, we drive ourselves into the corridor of our chosen profession and move strictly along it. This gives us the opportunity to achieve maximum material benefits at minimal cost.
And if suddenly a person, due to insurmountable circumstances, has to radically change his gender activities, then it brings suffering, stress, depression, loss self-confidence, etc.
Developing, a person must move away from this system of self-restraint and strive for universality.
There are many examples in history of people who have universal knowledge. For example: Leonardo da Vinci was a brilliant mathematician, engineer, artist, and had rich knowledge in many other branches of culture and science.
Liberation from professional boundaries is an important stage of awakening creativity.
And now the traditional questions.
What types creativity did you study as a child?
Why were they chosen?
Whose choice was it? Yours or your parents'?
How did you choose your profession? What was your choice is determined?
Have you radically changed your occupation?
If yes, what caused this? Remember your feelings and emotions. What were they like?
And if not, then what stopped you?
How ready are you now to make a drastic change in your profession? Give arguments for and against.
Be honest with yourself: How wide is your professional corridor?
Wake up your sleepy creation, release him! Remember the feeling of flying more often, regardless of profession and status. Who knows, maybe great discoveries await you ahead?
Creativity is not a single ability, but a complex property of the human psyche, which includes several components, the most important of which these are:
1. Qualities of intelligence.
Fluency of thinking (the ability to generate a large number of ideas and associations)
Each participant takes turns saying two words. The first word must be in the same category as the previous participant's second word. The second word is arbitrary. For example: presenter speaks: "Ripe Apple" - second participant: "Orange green" - third: "Orange scarf", etc.
Flexibility (diversity of generated ideas)
Exercise "INTERPRETATION OF THE PICTURE"
The wavy line turns out to be mountains and sea waves, and even the back of a dragon.
Originality (the ability to find non-obvious, rare, but at the same time adequate ideas).
Maximum expansion of the vision of the problem field, search for non-obvious solutions.
In this case, imagination, associative thinking, and the ability to recombine are actively involved (presentation of the known in new, unusual combinations) .
Exercise “Imagine”
Instructions: Come up with a new use subjects:
Sketchbook,
Mixed plasticine
A burst balloon
Burnt out light bulb
Empty pen refill.
2. Personality qualities.
Exercise "Throw the ball over"
Those interested are welcome. Participants stand in a close circle. The optimal number of participants in a circle is from 6 to 8. They are given a small ball (about the size of a tennis court) and is formulated exercise: throw this ball to each other as quickly as possible so that it is in everyone’s hands. The presenter records the time required for this. The task is not difficult; it usually takes about 2 seconds for each participant to complete it for the first time. The exercise is repeated 3-4 times, the leader asks to do it as quickly as possible. When the time spent has been brought to approximately 1 second for each participant, the facilitator asks them to invent and demonstrate a way in which they can throw the ball so that it is in everyone’s hands, spending only 1 second for the whole group.
The most important of these qualities is openness to new life experiences. Such a person is ready to accept everything new that appears around him, is capable of changing existing ideas, feels comfortable in situations of uncertainty and does not experience anxiety, is brave, inquisitive, and playful. Often such people outwardly resemble "big kids". Excessiveness is poorly compatible with creativity "seriousness", lack of spontaneity, the desire to organize your life according to established rules once and for all. Of course, the above does not deny the importance of organized life, the presence of rules and principles, however, a creative person is ready to revise them when circumstances change, and those who do not have this quality continue to live "the old fashioned way", stubbornly not noticing the changes taking place.
3. Value orientations.
Such a person - The world around him is interesting in itself, and not just as a means satisfaction some personal needs. A creative person consciously chooses an active, transformative life position.
There are 7 signs creativity:
Originality,
Fantasy
Heuristic
Definition
Activity
Sensitivity
Concentration
9. Parable "Ray of Sun"
One day a ray said to the sun:
Every day I fly to Earth and warm all living things, but I would like to warm a person’s heart.
“Okay, you can give a drop of solar fire to a person’s heart,” the sun allowed. - This fire will help a person become great creator. Just choose the best person. The beam flew to Earth and thought: “How do you know which person is better?”
Then he heard sad thoughts guy: “I can’t do anything. I dreamed of becoming an artist, but became a painter. I fell in love with a girl, but she doesn’t look at me.”
You have talent, youth and skillful hands! - the beam exclaimed and gave the man his fire.
A solar fire flared up in the man’s heart and made him raise his eyes and straighten his shoulders. He took paints and painted a beautiful bouquet for his beloved. “This is a miracle!”- the girl was delighted and kissed him. Then the guy painted the house so much that the customer came to admiration: “I thought you were a painter, but you are a real artist. My house has turned into a work of art! And the guy became a famous artist.
The ray returned to the sun and guiltily said:
I forgot that it was necessary to find the best of people. I gave fire to the first person I met.
“You believed in a person,” the sun answered joyfully. - And faith and support will turn any person into creator and will help you overcome any obstacles.
III. Practical part.
I would like to dwell in more detail on a practical example of one of the forms of work on development of teachers' creative potential through the use of psycho-training information and practical classes. Today we will try to actively show creative quality: flexibility of thinking, ingenuity, observation and imagination.

Imagine yourself on the beach at dawn. The sea is almost motionless, the last bright stars are dying out. Feel the freshness and purity of the air. Look at the water, the stars, the dark sky.
Listen for a while to the pre-dawn silence, to the stillness saturated with future movement. The darkness slowly recedes and the colors change. The sky above the horizon turns red, then turns golden. Then the first rays of the sun touch you. And you see how it slowly rises from behind the water.
When the sun is halfway over the horizon, you see its reflection in the water forming a path of golden shimmering light, going from you to the very center of it.
The water is warm, pleasant, and you decide to enter it. Slowly, enjoying yourself, you begin to float in the golden glow that surrounds you. You feel the contact of your body with water full of sparkling light. You feel how easy it is for you to swim and enjoy moving through the sea.
The further you sail on the sea, the less aware you are of the water around you, and the more light there is around you. You feel enveloped beneficial the light that penetrates you.

Lapshina E.V. MBOU secondary school No. 39
primary school teacher
Today, the problem of identifying, developing and supporting gifted children is extremely relevant for Russia. Discovering and realizing their abilities and talents is important not only for a gifted child as an individual, but also for society as a whole. Gifted and talented children and youth are the potential of any country, allowing it to develop effectively and constructively solve modern economic and social problems. In this regard, working with gifted and highly motivated children is extremely necessary.
Children who can be classified as gifted come to elementary school. These children have higher intellectual abilities, receptivity to learning, creative abilities and expressions than the majority; dominant active, unsaturated cognitive need; They experience the joy of acquiring knowledge and mental work. The school is developing a system of work with gifted children, consisting of both classroom and extracurricular activities.
According to the school curriculum for the 2013–2014 academic year, extracurricular activities are conducted in primary grades. The use of different electives allows us to take into account the different needs and capabilities of gifted children, where much attention is paid to the development of children's creative abilities. In these classes, children can express themselves, I often use role-playing situations, and I pay great attention to the development of plasticity and coordination of movements.
To find gifted children, holding school Olympiads is of great importance. The school has created and is constantly updating a bank of tasks for Olympiads in various educational fields. In recent years, one can observe an increase in the number of participants and winners of subject Olympiads.
For several years, the talent of our students has been identified and assessed at olympiads, tournaments, conferences, and exhibitions. This year, for the first time, my 1st grade students took part in the Olympiad. I would like to note that many people took part, regardless of their level of development. Believing in one’s own strengths, creating an environment that makes it easier for schoolchildren to discover their own potential, this is what I believe work with gifted children is all about.
Primary school age is a period of absorption, accumulation and assimilation of knowledge, which means the most important problem of our society is the preservation and development of talent. Primary school teachers have the main task of promoting the development of each individual. Therefore, it is important to establish the level of abilities and their diversity in our children, but it is equally important to be able to correctly carry out their development. Gifted children clearly demonstrate the need for research and search activity - this is one of the conditions that allows students to immerse themselves in the creative learning process and fosters in them a thirst for knowledge, a desire for discovery, active mental work and self-knowledge. In the educational process, the development of a gifted child should be considered as the development of his internal activity potential, the ability to be an author, a creator, an active creator of his life, to be able to set a goal, to look for ways to achieve it, to be capable of free choice and responsibility for it, and to make the most of his abilities. That is why the methods and forms of the teacher’s work should contribute to solving the designated task. For this category of children, the preferred working methods are:
Research;
-partially search;
-problem;
-projective;
Forms of work:
- classwork (work in pairs, in small groups), multi-level tasks, creative tasks;
- discussion;
- games.
Very important:
Subject Olympiads;
-intellectual marathons;
-various competitions and quizzes;
-verbal games and fun;
- role-playing games;
- individual creative tasks.
These methods and forms enable gifted students to choose appropriate forms and types of creative activity. Identification of gifted children is carried out already in elementary school on the basis of observations, study of psychological characteristics, speech, memory, logical thinking and communication with parents.
As a rule, gifted children exhibit:
High productivity of thinking;
- ease of association;
- ability to forecast;
-high concentration of attention.
When working with gifted children, you must be able to:
Enrich the curriculum, e.g. update and expand the content of education;
-stimulate the cognitive abilities of students;
-work differentiatedly, provide an individual approach and advise students;
-make informed psychological and pedagogical decisions;
-analyze your teaching and educational activities and the entire class;
- select and prepare materials for collective creative activities.
The success of this process is facilitated by the characteristic features of children of this age: trusting submission to authority, increased susceptibility, impressionability, and a naive playful attitude towards much of what they encounter.
It is necessary to develop intellectual and creative abilities. And, above all, because the full development of a student’s abilities is important not only for himself, but also for society as a whole. The rapid development of new technologies has entailed a sharp increase in society's need for people who have innovative thinking, who introduce new content into production and social life, and who are able to set and solve new problems. Creative and intellectual abilities are the key to progress in any area of human life.
Areas of activity for working with gifted children:
Organizing and conducting both group classes and individual work with gifted children;
Preparing students for olympiads, competitions, quizzes at school and city levels;
Holding public events within the association;
Generalization and systematization of materials and results of work with gifted children.
Working with parents.
Conducting educational work among parents through lectures, parent meetings, and comprehensive pedagogical training for parents. Involving parents in organizing and conducting extracurricular activities - -Parents' meeting on the topic “Broadening the horizons of schoolchildren through reading scientific and educational literature.”
Lecture “Development of a child’s intellectual abilities.”
The main forms of extracurricular educational activities for school students:
Elective
Subject week
Student conference
Circles, associations
Organization of research work
Organization of project activities
Here are some exercises that you can use at work:
Exercise "Original Use"
Come up with as many different feasible original ways to use ordinary objects as possible. The work is performed in teams of 4-5 people, time - 10 minutes. The results of the work are presented one by one. The group that presents the most methods wins. Can be used in any lesson.
Exercise “Strange guesses”
Well-known riddles are offered, for which you need to come up with as many possible answers as possible that do not coincide with the “traditional” answers, but at the same time do not contradict the conditions of the riddle, logic, and common sense. The work is carried out in groups of 3-4 people. Time 10 minutes.
Exercise "Five-line"
Participants are asked to compose a five-line poem on a given topic.
Line 1 – one word, usually a noun, that most accurately reflects the main idea.
Line 2 – two adjectives characterizing the noun from the first line.
Line 3 – three verbs or gerunds describing actions.
Line 4 – a phrase of any four words expressing the author’s attitude to what is happening.
Line 5 is another word that reflects the general essence of the theme of the verse.
Exercise “Drawing by dots”
Draw 20 dots on the sheet, placing them randomly but evenly. Pass the sheet to your neighbor. On the sheet that you received, connect all the points with straight lines or arcs in such a way that you get a holistic, meaningful image.
Exercise "Rhymes"
We invite you to complete the proposed phrases relating to the past speech in rhyme:
We met, we played, we developed creativity...
Creativity - what a bird...
Exercise “What? Where? How?"
Participants sitting in a circle are shown some unusual object, the purpose of which is not entirely clear (you can even use not the object itself, but its photograph). Each participant must quickly answer three surveys in order:
What is this?
Where did this come from?
How can this be used?
However, repetition is not allowed; each participant must come up with new answers to each of these questions.
The easiest way to get props for this exercise is to take not whole objects (their purpose is usually more or less clear), but fragments of something - such that it is difficult to understand from them where they came from.
The meaning of the exercise
A light “intellectual warm-up” that activates the fluency of the participants’ thinking, stimulating them to come up with unusual ideas and associations.
Discussion
Which answers to questions do the participants remember and seem to be the most interesting and original?
Exercise “The Earth is Round”
Exercise “Opposites”
Participants are given short descriptions of several situations and asked to come up with situations that could be considered the opposite of those proposed. The exercise is performed in subgroups of 3-4 people, the work time is determined based on the calculation of 2-3 minutes per situation. Then representatives of each of the subgroups take turns voicing the invented options and arguing why they can be considered as opposite to the proposed situations.
For example, the following situations can be suggested:
The boxer enters the ring.
A girl rides down a hill on roller skates.
A photojournalist sends photos from competitions to the editor.
Of course, you can offer other situations, but you should avoid too simple options in which the opposite situations are obvious, and choose those where the opposites are not so obvious or, at least, they can be identified on the basis of different signs.
The meaning of the exercise

Do not scold him for his hands stained with paints and other consequences of the child’s creative search;
Support your child’s initiatives and do not make activities with them boring;
Don't try to cram as much information into your child's brain as possible. Your task is to develop abilities;

One eastern sage said, “A child is not a vessel that needs to be filled, but a fire that needs to be lit.” I am guided by this wisdom when raising children and do not forget that each child has his own inclinations and his own maximum level of abilities. For one child, the maximum would be to draw a rainbow, and for another, the whole picture.
With the development of the online gaming industry, virtual casinos have also entered our lives. For most people, it has become a way to spend their leisure time pleasantly, and for some it has become a source of earning money. The range of gambling games in such establishments is very wide. However, it has been noted that the most popular among the entertainment offered is still the casino game with roulette, which is also nicknamed the “queen” of the casino.
The roots of this game go far into the past - to the 16-17th century AD, and no one knows exactly who became the founder of this entertainment. Therefore, regarding the origin of the casino game " roulette“There are many different legends and rumors. Some say that roulette is one of the incarnations of an ancient magical ritual in China, others claim that it is a variation of an ancient Chinese game, and others say that the game was invented by a monk to spice up his life in a monastery. This suggests the conclusion that we owe the appearance of roulette to the Chinese. However, according to the official version, this game appeared completely by accident, during Pascal’s (French scientist) attempts to create a perpetual motion machine.
Regardless (and whoever made this game), to its credit, the game is truly great and allows for a lot of fun without players having to put in any special effort.
Online roulette: its advantages and varieties
Online roulette is a copy of a similar game in land-based casinos. However, it has a number of advantages over its “relative”. And the most important of them is that you can play online roulette play for free. It is not necessary to spend your savings in order to while away your free time playing an interesting game; it is not necessary to expose yourself to financial risk in order to get a dose of adrenaline from a gambling hobby. It is advisable to play for money if the thickness of the wallet is unlimited, and also when the ultimate meaning of the game comes down to moral satisfaction, and not to obtaining a certain amount of winnings.
Online roulette is also good because the variety of its choice in online casinos does not confuse players, as is possible in real gambling establishments (where the range of this game may be limited) and allows you to saturate the everyday life with bright entertainment.
Anyone can try their luck in the game roulette online for free. To do this, just open a website with an online casino on the Internet and select the type of roulette you are interested in. At the same time, some virtual casinos provide the opportunity to gamble not only for free, but also without registering on the site.
It must be said that for many people the word “roulette” evokes associations associated with a spinning wheel, divided into red and black sectors. However, in fact, there are several types of roulettes, the gaming table in which is slightly different. Thus, the game can involve a different number of zero sectors (one, two, or excluding it), the gaming table is supplemented with a special field, etc. The rules of roulette are simple, but depending on its varieties, adjustments are made to them.
The most popular types of roulette are the European and American versions. The difference between these games lies in the size of the gaming table and the number of “zero” sectors it contains. Thus, European roulette (also considered classic) has one “zero” sector on the playing field, and in American roulette there are two such sectors (“zero” and “double-zero”).
In some virtual gambling establishments you can find roulette, where the “zero” sector on the gaming table is completely absent - for example, as in Boule roulette. However, the game does not exclude the function of this sector and it is performed by number “five”. Also, the difference between this version of the roulette game and others lies in the features of the gaming table (meaning its appearance, the total number of sectors and other parameters).
How to play Roulette online and win?
Despite the fact that roulette does not have intricate rules, many players ask the question of how to play it. Indeed, in real casinos the croupier monitors the progress of the game, and he also coordinates the actions of the participants in the gambling game. And roulette transfers these powers into the hands of the player. However, there is no reason to worry about this. Everything is banally simple.
The meaning of the game remains the same: you need to place bets and spin the Roulette wheel. To place a bet, just use the mouse to select the chip value you are interested in and drag it to one of the available sectors of the gaming table. And to start the Ferris wheel, you just need to press the corresponding button. And although the result of the game is unpredictable, excluding any influence on the part of the player, online roulette has taken an important place among users from around the world.
How to win at roulette? This is the second question, and it inevitably follows the first. However, there is no specific answer to it that gives a 100% guarantee of winning. But there are a number of tips that you can follow to bring your happy moment closer in the game.
Firstly, you need to familiarize yourself with its rules and terms in a gambling establishment, even if the chosen version of the roulette game is as familiar as the multiplication table. Each virtual casino has the right to add some nuances to the standard rules of gambling entertainment, and ignorance of them can subsequently spoil the mood of the game.
Secondly, you can use the developed methods and systems for playing roulette by different people. Some of them are based on the theory of large numbers, others recommend changing the bet amount based on the result of the previous move. Each of the existing roulette systems involves its own course of action, but in the end, any of them allows you to win. The most popular systems are Martingale, Whitetaker, Donald-Nathanson and chaos theory. You can find a great variety of them on the Internet (Gütting progression, Karl Alexander system, D'Alembert system, Parlay system, Oscar Grind system and others) and choose the one that you like most.
Thirdly, you don’t have to bother yourself with building different strategies; you can simply rely on your intuition. Moreover, some people even believe that intuition is much more effective than various systems. To win, you just need to believe in luck and play without thinking about anything. And then the law of attraction will definitely work, sooner or later.
Of course, the desire of every player to win is understandable. However, a game is a game and the initial goal in it still comes down not to acquiring rewards for victory, but to obtaining moral satisfaction. So, the question “how to win at roulette” is actually a secondary one, and therefore you shouldn’t worry too much about it.
Online roulette for money and ways to reduce losses from the game
You can also play roulette for real money. But then it is necessary to register in a virtual casino and open a gaming account by making a deposit in any convenient way (through terminals, electronic payment systems, etc.). Only after this can you place real bets, play and get real winnings.
Of course, playing for money is accompanied by the risk of losing it, but the thrill of this type of gambling entertainment is at its best.
Often, when playing a serious game, doubts about dishonesty on the part of the gambling establishment creep into your thoughts (and such fears are quite justified). However, it is worth noting that any virtual casino that values its reputation provides players with appropriate guarantees in this regard, one of which is integrity control. As a result, even before starting the game, the player can receive data about the final outcome of the game round in encrypted form and, after its completion, compare the event that occurred with the prediction.
As already mentioned, there are several types of roulettes. And if earlier, when playing for free, you could not attach importance to this or that casino advantage in the game, then when playing roulette for money, the chances of winning should be taken into account. This means that when choosing a game with a solid advantage of the gambling establishment, you should place bets carefully and in small amounts, and in roulette, with a greater prospect of winning, you can take a risk and play for larger amounts. For example, in American roulette the house edge is 5.26%, and in European roulette it is 2.63%. But in any of the game options, it is worth remembering that the casino always wins. And if this were not so, then gambling establishments would have ceased to exist long ago.
As a result, no matter how you twist the Ferris wheel, losses cannot be avoided. However, there are a number of ways to minimize them.
First of all, you should clearly define for yourself the acceptable threshold for losing money: the possible amount of losses should not cause damage to the budget. By following this rule and ending the game as soon as the allowable cash limit is exhausted, you can save yourself a lot of trouble.
Next, you should pay attention to possible “loopholes” in the game. For example, in some types of roulette that involve betting on red/black or even/odd, the player is given the right to “give up.” And by using it, if the “zero” sector appears, the amount of losses is reduced by 2 times.
In addition, there is the En Prison rule. It may not be that common, but its benefits for players are obvious. The essence of the rule is that when the “zero” sector appears in roulette, the bet made by the player remains in the game, and only the result of the subsequent move makes a verdict on it: a win - the bet made is returned to the player in full (without profit), a loss - the bet given to the casino.
Experienced players do not recommend betting on numbers 0,1,2,3. In this case, the casino advantage in the game increases sharply and can reach up to 7.89 percent. In their opinion, it is better to bet on certain sectors or make mixed bets.
It is worth understanding: winning in the game is determined in the long term, and not by the immediate result. Therefore, when moving from a free game to a game for real bets, you need to take this into account and prepare yourself for a long gameplay. In many ways, it will require endurance and control of emotions.
Where can you play Roulette for free?
Today, many online virtual casinos offer free gambling, including, of course, roulette. However, the abundance of offers available on the Internet brings confusion and uncertainty to the issue of choosing a gambling establishment. However, there are still casinos whose popularity is undeniable. Some of the most popular casinos are Goldfishka, Russian casino, Grand casino, Europe casino and Vulcan casino.
The Goldfishka gambling house is convenient because it does not require registration when playing in demo mode, and it is not necessary to provide documents when playing for real bets.

There are no restrictions on payouts at a gambling establishment and there are not even widespread wagering requirements for bonuses.
The Europa casino, which also began operations in 2002, is no less attractive for spending time gambling. The list of gambling games here is much smaller than in Goldfishka (over 150), but the pleasure received from spending leisure time in the casino compensates for this small flaw. According to reviews, Casino Europe is one of the gambling establishments where the number of winnings exceeds the number of losses. The software for the gambling establishment was provided by Playtech, one of the top leaders in the production of software for online casinos. The gambling establishment’s website is available for use in several languages (including Russian); you can play either in flash mode or by installing the necessary software on your computer (provided by the casino for free). Players are also provided with various bonuses (including no deposit bonuses), and there is a loyalty system. However, before you can withdraw money, you must wager the bonuses at this casino.
“Grand casino” came into use among gambling enthusiasts in 2005.

All information in the casino can be translated into 3 languages, and Russian is among them. Integrity control has been introduced into all games, so casino customers do not have to worry about forgery of game results.

The Grand casino has a bonus system and its own loyalty program. There are special rooms for VIP players. The peculiarity of the casino is that you can play in it only after registration. In this case, you can either download the casino or download the game in a flash version.
Despite the fact that the highlight of the Vulcan casino is slot machines, you can also satisfy your interest in playing roulette. True, only one of the varieties of this game is available here, its classic version is European roulette. However, this is the most common and popular version of this gambling game. You can play at the Vulcan slot machines casino without registration. However, some games still require registration at the casino and topping up your gambling account. The gambling establishment is focused on Russian-speaking clients, therefore all information on the site is presented in Russian. The interface is very simple and it won’t be difficult for anyone to figure out what’s what. The gambling establishment has its own bonus system, guarantees of honesty, and unique offers for the most active casino clients.
The good thing about Russian online casinos is that you can find truly Russian entertainment there, such as the “Samovolochka” slot or “Russian Bathhouse”. However, in addition to this, the gambling establishment also has a number of other advantages: it provides the opportunity to play for free (with chips) and for real money; receiving bonuses is a voluntary decision of each player; The casino contains a decent range of games and much more. The types of roulette available here are: American, French and boules roulette (without zero). When wagering bonuses in the roulette game, only 25% of the bets made are counted.

Everyone knows that creativity is a process of activity during which new spiritual or material values are created. This is also often called special thinking, due to which a person can go beyond the boundaries of traditional existence. And in general, creativity is also the process of a person investing his own capabilities and considerations in what he does. In general, this term can be interpreted in different ways. But we want to pay attention to such a concept as pedagogical creativity.
General provisions
What is the task of modern education? In teachers' mastery of the methodology of creative transformation of the world. Why is this so important? Because creativity in this context implies the discovery of new knowledge, objects, problems, as well as ways to solve them. However, this is not all that can be said on this topic.
Professional teaching activity is a process of constant creativity. But there is some specificity here. The teacher’s creativity does not have the goal of creating something original, fundamentally new, or massively valuable. It is aimed at something more important and serious - personal development. Of course, a good teacher (especially if he is an innovator) develops his own pedagogical system. However, it is not the goal of his creativity, but only a way to achieve the best results in this activity.
Specifics
Pedagogical creativity is impossible if a person does not have social and teaching experience (and education), as well as a predisposition to this activity. However, first things first.
Special training is required. Because only an erudite teacher with innovative thinking and expanded boundaries can find original, “fresh” ways to solve a problem that is most often associated with student learning.
What's the difficulty? The fact is that the teacher, in the course of his activities, constantly solves a huge number of problems - both typical and non-standard. And not always under the same circumstances. And while solving them, the teacher (like any other researcher) organizes his activities in accordance with the provisions of the heuristic search. That is, it analyzes the situation, makes assumptions regarding the result, taking into account the initial data, evaluates the potential of the means available to achieve the goal, and formulates tasks. This is not easy work, requiring certain skills and abilities.
What constitutes completeness?
Teaching activity has both quantitative and qualitative characteristics. experience and skills are impressive only if the specialist himself approaches his activities in the appropriate way - with interest, responsibility, inspiration and enthusiasm. These are the most important conditions!
Pedagogical rationalization, productive learning, achieving certain successes in all activities as a whole - all this and much more is possible if 5 generally accepted aspects take place.
The first is the presence of something of interest to the teacher himself. The second is social significance, affecting the development of personality. Third, the presence of social and material prerequisites (in other words, conditions) necessary for creativity. Fourth - the novelty and originality of the process or the expected result. And fifth - the presence of subjective prerequisites for the implementation of creativity. This refers to the teacher’s skills, knowledge, motivation, passion, and desire to work with the audience.
Main difficulty
This is where pedagogical creativity fully manifests itself. The teacher puts himself in the place of the students and asks himself countless questions. What might they be interested in? How and with what to attract them? What methodology should be used to encourage students to master the material? What are some ways to convey to them the importance of the subject? And so - before each lesson.
First, the teacher forms his plan, which follows from the answers to all the listed and unmentioned questions (of which there are even more). Then he works through it and transforms it into an idea. Then he “looks” for methods by which the implementation of the plan will be real. By the way, it is during these processes that a person gains the experience of creativity. Of course, from the outside it may seem like drawing up a lesson plan. But all teachers (or at least the majority) write it. It’s just that some people go to classes with pleasure, having an interest in the subject and knowledge, but not others.
Interaction with the audience
His pedagogical creativity means first of all. The kind of contact the teacher establishes with students determines his success and recognition as a specialist, as well as the quality of the knowledge acquired by schoolchildren/students.
Which teacher's classes are more interesting to attend? Someone who interacts with the audience, looks everyone in the eye, and tries to make the lesson as similar as possible to a productive colloquium? Or to the class of a “lecturer” who sits at a table and simply reads material from a notebook? Of course, everyone will choose the first option. And this case is a clear manifestation of creativity. Because connecting with an audience is an art.
But here you can’t do without creative potential. The formation of which is often facilitated by certain organization of the educational process. It is mandatory, since the purpose of the classes is still to transfer knowledge and skills to schoolchildren/students. And this is what this organization includes:
- Problem-based learning.
- Establishing interdisciplinary connections.
- Fostering a positive and creative attitude in students towards learning the subject.
- The ability to determine the main thing and comprehend what has been covered previously.
- Developing students' abilities and skills related to synthesis, analysis, classification and generalization.
- Ability to evaluate practical situations.
And these are just the basic provisions that pedagogical work implies. Some of them are worth special attention.
Problem-based learning
This is a very interesting methodology, implying active interaction between the teacher and students on the basis of problem-based learning content. What is its essence?
So, the teacher sets an educational problem task for schoolchildren/students (naturally, after a collective study of the material). So he creates a problematic situation for them. Students need to analyze it, understand and accept the essence, and then begin to resolve the problem. During this process, they will apply the skills and information acquired during the classes. Such practical classes teach schoolchildren and students to think and creatively absorb knowledge.
By the way, an alternative to this methodology is heuristic learning. It arose back in the days of Ancient Greece - it was practiced by Socrates himself! For a long time, the methodology was based on However, by performing them, it was possible to arrive at the truth.
And in this case, the foundations of pedagogical creativity also appear. What should the students do? Just getting involved in the process and applying the knowledge given by the teacher is not so difficult. And the teacher needs to design that very educational problem situation, formulate it clearly, and even give it a special character in order to interest the audience.
Torrance provisions
They cannot be ignored when talking about creativity in teaching. Alice Paul Torrance was a famous American psychologist who developed the basic principles concerning it. And these provisions on pedagogical creativity are very indicative. Here's what exactly they include:
- Recognizing and pursuing opportunities that were previously unrecognized or unexploited.
- Respect and acceptance of the student's desire to work independently.
- The ability not to interfere with the creative process of schoolchildren/students.
- The ability to provide students with freedom of choice to achieve goals and apply their skills and strengths.
- Appropriate application of an individualized curriculum to students with special abilities.
- Creating the conditions necessary to achieve certain goals.
- Moderate encouragement and praise.
- Elimination of any pressure on students.
- Respect for everyone.
- Showing and welcoming enthusiasm.
- Creating conditions for interaction between “strong” students and less successful ones.
- Providing all possible authoritative assistance to students - especially students/schoolchildren with an opinion and point of view that is different from others.
All of the above is of great importance. Because the concept of pedagogical creativity includes not only a special approach to teaching, but also the education of students and their development. Not only all together - also separately. After all, in essence, creativity in pedagogy is manifested through the development of students’ unique abilities.
Conditions for teaching improvement
Well, as mentioned earlier, the activities of teachers are complex, as is their work. Although it undoubtedly bears fruit - if the teacher approaches his tasks as described above.
But in order for productivity not to drop, and for the specialist to be equally pleased with the results, special conditions for the development of pedagogical creativity are needed. This includes many aspects - both moral and material. The latter, of course, includes incentives, bonuses, and a salary worthy of the effort, time and work expended. In a word - a manifestation of gratitude and respect. Nowadays this matters.
But other conditions are also important. These include compression, the so-called compressed creativity. Also, the connection between the activities of one teacher and others. The time needed for preparation is also important. This also includes delayed results. This is all aimed at stimulating the teacher to carry out creative activities.
By the way, its development is often facilitated by public speaking and the constant correlation of generally accepted pedagogical techniques with non-standard situations. But this is necessary for those teachers who are not used to being creative.
Levels
They also need to be noted with attention. There are levels of pedagogical creativity, and it is customary to distinguish five main ones.
The first is called information-reproducing. This implies the application in solving professional problems of the experience gained and adopted from others by the teacher in the course of his activities.
The second level is called adaptive-prognostic. It lies in the teacher’s ability to transform the data and information known to him, to choose methods, methods, methods of interaction with schoolchildren/students, and taking into account their specific personal characteristics.
The third level is known as rationalization. A teacher who matches it demonstrates his unique experience, ability to solve non-standard problems, and search for optimal solutions. And in his activities there is clearly a certain uniqueness and individuality.
The fourth level is called research. It lies in the teacher’s ability to identify the conceptual basis of personal search and develop a system of activities, based on research into its results.
And finally, the fifth level. Known as creative and predictive. Teachers who correspond to it are able to put forward super-tasks and solve them in reasonable, often independently developed ways. These are teachers of the highest category who can truly change and transform the education system.
Competitions for teachers
I would also like to say a few final words about them. Because many competitions for teachers that exist today are of a creative nature. Take, for example, “New Ideas” and “Methodological System of an Effective Teacher.” These competitions are aimed at introducing new, personally developing educational technologies, as well as presenting and popularizing the experience of educators. There is also a motivation for teachers to use innovations in the learning process.
And there is a competition called “Pedagogy of Creativity”. Its goal is, in addition to all of the above, to stimulate innovation. And it is aimed, among other things, at overcoming the stereotypes attached to this professional activity.
By the way, such competitions also contribute to creative development and professional growth. And the participation of teachers in them only once again emphasizes their dedication and interest to their work.
