PREFACE

     We live in a rapidly changing world.  Bare knowledge like a frozen copy of the past, can not fully help us to solve the arising problems.  An ability to solve creative problems, an advanced imagination are the qualities that mostly define a personality not only of tomorrow but of today, as well.

     On the basis of Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) the author of this book has worked out and tested "The Program of the Course of Creative Imagination Developing for the elementary school".  The controlled imagination allows a person faster and simpler to adapt himself to changing conditions, therefore the CID course is actively used  by psychologists for diagnostics and psychological correction of elementary school students.

     In order to simplify the work on this program a student book and a workbook were prepared to be presented here.

     The whole program is meant for three grades: "Fairy Tale School" - first grade; "The Fantasy City" -  second grade; "The Planet of Unsolved Mysteries" - third grade.  This program was used to instruct the kids of the first to the third grades of School No. 17 in the course of 6 years.  The classes were conducted once a week; the classes were divided into two groups. The program was conducted in a few schools (the CID classes are being held by the elementary school teachers at schools No. 17 , No. 43 and others).

     The author expresses her deep gratitude to I. N. Murashkovska, A. N. Nesterenko, M. C. Gafitulin,  Sergey and Svetlana Sychovs, N. N. Khomenko, V. I. Timohov, Anatoly and Svetlana Gin,  M. S. Rubin, whose works helped a lot in creating the CID course and the workbooks.  And of course the help of the first - third grade students of School No. 17 of Petrozavodsk was very valuable.  Thank you, my dear little magicians!
