In the course of reforming the education system, is currently a lot of attention is paid to the implementation of the activity approach.The bottom line is that the child is a full-fledged, active participant in the upbringing and education process.
In reading preschooler with the outside world, to the forefront research activity, activity.Curiosity and the desire to put knowledge at the forefront in the implementation of early childhood education programs.In the context of the huge flow of information, the availability of various resources and the ease of finding a solution to a problem, the child must be willing to learn new things.
Cognitive research activities preschoolers - the natural state of children.Think of yourself as a child - perhaps someone analyzed the parental hours trying to understand the mechanism.Little researcher with a screwdriver in his hand - a natural and normal for children as a school and kindergarten age.
Research activities creates conditions for the mental development, then a smooth transition to self-development.An experienced teacher knows and understands that should not interfere with this process, you just send it to the track.
Many domestic psychologists tend to believe that the research activities - is the highest form of cognitive activity when the child is not chaotic trying to understand that, as arranged, and purposefully trying to schedule a result, he goes to his intended target.
structure of the search activity are as follows:
- transmitted by the adult or the children themselves put forward the problem to be solved;
- analysis of the conditions conducive to the solution of the problem (this operation can be performed as the child alone or with an adult);
- hypotheses about the origin of the problem and ways to solve it;
- choice of ways to check and immediately she verification method for solving the problem;
- conclusions, the results of analysis;
- new challenges and discussion.
research activities carried out by the following algorithm:
- formulation of the problem;
- definition of the subject, setting goals and objectives;
- hypotheses;
- develop an action plan;
- direct experience of holding to confirm or refute the hypothesis;
- analysis of the implemented activities, conclusions, further development of solutions to the problem.
research activities of schoolchildren and preschoolers, however, as all the people of the proposed action on the above described algorithm.
As for the interests and research topics, the older preschoolers prefer to experiments in which the cause-effect relationships.For example, in the form of games (as the leading activity in this age is a game), develops thinking.The main task of the adult - to try to interest the child an unusual experience or effect, give the opportunity to experiment the most preschoolers.
