The study of a development problem concerning the creative self-realization of a student in higher professional education system makes us to focus on the analysis of the philosophical, psychological and pedagogical research for the paired concepts of "creation", "self-realization", "creative self-realization" and an actually primordial one - "the development of creative self-realization capacity among high school students". Nowadays young people have the need to update their intellectual, communicative and artistic abilities, so it is important to encourage and support in her strongly the desire to exercise their interests and the disclosure of creative possibilities. In this study they examined one of the ability aspects for creative self-realization development among university students associated, in particular, with the pedagogical potential of the folk applied art. It should be noted that the development of the capacity for the creative self-realization among university students as a process of their intellectual and creative potential disclosure and realization in a variety of activities proceeds most effectively at the observance of conditions as the orientation of students on the development of their inherent instincts and abilities; the inclusion of such methodological approaches that aim future experts at self-projecting, self-development and the reflection of their creative abilities; the use of such active forms and methods of teaching, which would saturated the educational process in a high school by a personal meaning for each student and, thus, would have targeted young students for the creative self-realization; the development of students' value orientations on creative self-realization. In this regard a pedagogical support is provided by teachers. The relevance of a study is determined by the fact that the practical implementation of folk applied art pedagogical potential in the development of a creative self-realization capacity is one of the topical issues of high school educational practice, as its results deepen, extend and specify modern ideas about the artistic possibilities of student creative activity.
