The specifics of developing creativity in the students of college during science disciplines such as «Physics and Astronomy» as a holistic system have been reviewed. It includes the following components: classes as a form and means of developing creativity; the system of extra-curriculum activities as means of transforming student from the potential into real subject of the creative process; discovering and creating «new» not only in the outside world, but also in the student’s own personality.

The special role of the pedagogical creativity and teacher’s art as the crucial elements in the intellectual growth of the student has been highlighted. The focus is placed on the effectiveness and results of the activity-based approach in developing creativity of the students during «Physics and Astronomy» classes, based on Lutsk Pedagogical College practice.
