The process of education is determined by a number of relevant factors as: the method (of learning and teaching), means and forms. It is generally known that the school systems (from primary to university education) are even today in a great extent based upon more than three centuries old concepts established by J. A. Komensky (about the organisation of the teaching class) and Herbart (about formal degrees of learning). In order to have successful process of teaching, besides having a good choice of a form of teaching, permanent creativity in formulating teaching class is required as well as remaining within a given framework of class – subject system. Creativity in organising the educational process is essential if we desire to incite creativity in its recipient (student). Encouraging creativity of students is a basic theme of this article, hence we shell here bring up definitions of some concepts and discuss variety of perceptions of the concept of creativity in teaching class and in learning. In this context we will present the opinions of a number of contemporary authors in fields of pedagogy, didactics and development psychology concerning both traditional and contemporary teaching. Considering the fact that inciting and forming students creativity mainly depends upon teacher, in this article we bring some outlines of profiles and characteristics of a creative teacher, as well as the ways to affirm students’ creativity in its best.
