PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAINING AS A WAY OF STIMULATION OF CREATIVE ABILITIES WHILE TRAINING JOURNALISTS

Abstract

The article deals with the formation of professional skills of students-journalists in the process of higher education. The authors note the presence of problems in the relationship between higher education institutions that train journalists, and employers who hire journalists. Problems of formation, stimulation and development of creative abilities within the framework of the psychological training program are discussed. Great importance is given to the ability to work with information materials in an unconventional and creative way. Based on years of experience in the mode of longitudinal training, the authors argue that the training context of communication is a condition for not only successful adaptation of entrants in a new social situation, but also a condition for accelerating the process of professional identifiation. Taking into account the results of the conducted research, it is indicated that the inclusion in the training program of specialized exercises for the development of creative abilities can be used as one of the effective tools for the formation of professional qualities in the training of journalists in higher education. The authors propose the application of a cycle of specialized exercises within the framework of the program of educational psychological training, as a tool for updating and developing creative abilities.
