Abstract

The article is devoted to motivation for teachers’ healthcreativity in challenging conditions. One of the most important life quality values is wellness which is mostly associated with intensive human motivation for continuous creation of inner and outer healthy space. In the conditions of modern challenges there is difference between European cultures if to consider the index of Life Quality Rating in which Ukraine sets 65 position from 77. While most people know how essential healthy physical and mental habits combining with appropriate psychological attitudes are good for personal and social wellness, there is lack of integral professional approach in our society to make and support motivation for healthcreation in educational environment.          Health is maintained mostly not by information or medical care, but rather through the efforts and intelligent lifestyle choices of the individual and society. The definition of health as person’s ability to manage physical, psychical and social problems is considered here as basic and functional one.                                          

Here is an attempt to identify the notion «healthcreation» in connection with person’s motivation which is marked as meta cognitive process. The author gives a structure of the motivation which contains special components.   The aim of the article is to find out the essence of motivation for healthcreation and to search for appropriate educational conditions. Teachers are providers of cultural values and it is their mission to be healthy leaders whatever subjects they teach. Educators admit: they don’t devote themselves to systematical making progress in their health and wellness. On the one hand they agree that unhappy, exhausted teachers with their lack of energy are opposite to natural inspiring examples for children. On the other hand they need some directing help to master the integrating will and spontaneity in wholeness as strategy for stepping out from inertia and shifting to fresh and active life. Selfmotivation and making healthcreative learning community in school are two other parts of this strategy.                                                                           

Here is exposed some incentive materials which had been worked out for teachers who passed through regular postgraduate pedagogical courses. It was and now continue to be supposed that these materials as well as some future ones should promote motivation for healthcreativity in teachers’ professional and personal areas. The study is rather stepping on the way and needs further research.
