The problem statement. Contemporary education in Russia is faced with the task of introducing a humane approach in the training of a future specialist capable of adapting to changing living conditions. The aim of the paper in this perspective was to substantiate theoretically and study empirically the relationship between the value-motivational sphere of the personality and creative thinking of a young person. A theoretical analysis of works devoted to a creative approach in education has shown that internal motivation for educational activities is combined with motivation for a creative approach in solving educational problems. As a result of the experimental study, a significant relationship was revealed between the significance of the value of spirituality and an increase in the integral indicator of the creative thinking level, which indicates the orientation of a creative person to the search for inner harmony and their own destiny among young people.
