The article deals with the problem of defining the key concepts of creativity pedagogy - "creativity" and "creative abilities". This is due to the fact that their definitions in the works of modern researchers often contradict rather than complement each other. The purpose of the article is to analyze publications in scientific pedagogical editions for the last decade to identify common and different approaches of researchers to the definition of "creativity" and "creative abilities" and to identify the needs of teachers concerning the development of creative abilities in students. The results obtained will allow novice researchers and interested teachers to discover new shades of meaning in widely known concepts.
