Abstract


The article focuses on the essential characteristics of a creative and innovative paradigm of higher education in the context of the anthropocentricity principle. The new educational paradigm is also characterised by the principles of “self-development of activity subjects”, “co-creativity of activity subjects on the level of their co-existence”, “openness, integrity, self-organization”. The article considers the continuity of the creative and innovative educational paradigm and the current concept of the higher education development. In this regard, special attention is paid to the acmeological approach to an individual’s development. This approach directly relates to the creative activity and can be a methodological basis for competence approach as an additional means to assess the quality of specialists, trained at universities. Focusing on the intentionally dynamic model of "acme", the article reveals a set of criteria and indicators of the formation of intellectual maturity, which are recommended to be used at all the stages of specialist training and their professional activity.
