In the main part of the article the author, firstly, highlights the main features of the process of creative thinking. Secondly, determine the structure of knowledge of creative thinking. Thirdly, defines the methodological principles of research of creative thinking taking into account activity approach. The thinking represents implementation of logical transactions. However complexity in studying of nominal creative thinking is that, along with studying of processes of systematization and a statement already known - the combination of ready elements, actual becomes research of processes of detection something "new", forming of knowledge. Creative thinking is not always consistent structure of thought, which makes it difficult to study the issue. Any action in the process of thinking and are subject to a multi-directional non-uniformity. The transition from one task to another is not necessarily sequentially. The division into parts of the thinking process so that the resulting sum of these parts could be combined into a single unit, -mandatory, but not the only requirement for the process. The difficulty lies in establishing links between these parts. As the most important characteristics of the process, the author defines the structure of a certain thinking processes.One of the requirements is the formation of a certain result of intellectual activity expressed in the product form. In the case of creative thinking - a significant new product, presented in the form of knowledge. In modern understanding it is the answer to the problem question. Describing the structure of knowledge about creativity, the author notes, the main problem is that the part existing in the scientific world of concepts different object, that is, they do not reflect the same attribute property of subjects of the objective world. Methodological principles of the study of creative thinking given the activity approach due to the specific knowledge. On the one hand, the acquisition of new knowledge on the basis of previously known ideas. On the other, the development of new knowledge from knowledge already available. At the end of the article the author summarizes and concludes.
