"Environmental education of preschool children"

Nowadays, the problems of environmental education have come to the fore, and more and more attention is being paid to them. Why did these problems become relevant? The reason is human activity in nature, which is often illiterate, incorrect from an environmental point of view, wasteful, leading to a disruption of the ecological balance. Each of those who have caused and are causing harm to nature was once a child. That is why the role of preschool institutions in the environmental education of children, starting from an early age, is so great.

Preschool age is an important stage in the development of an individual’s ecological culture. At this age, the child begins to distinguish himself from the environment, an emotional and value-based attitude to the environment develops, and the foundations of the moral and ecological positions of the individual are formed. The process of forming the personality of a preschooler in general and environmental education in particular should be based on a system of knowledge that includes basic information about the biosphere (living nature: plants, animals, humans; inanimate nature.

Traditionally, in preschool education, the general process of mastering nature includes an element of its knowledge, the development of a humane attitude towards it and awareness of behavior in the natural sphere. Environmental education is the education of morality, spirituality, and intelligence. Man and nature: Philosophers, poets, artists of all times and peoples have paid tribute to this eternal and always relevant topic. But, perhaps, it has never been as acute as in our days, when the threat of an environmental crisis, and perhaps a catastrophe, hangs over humanity and the problem of greening human material and spiritual activity has become a vital necessity, one of the conditions for preserving what is common to all.

Environmental education in kindergarten promotes:

-Formation of objective ideas about the processes occurring in nature;

-Formation of a caring attitude towards nature.

Objectives of environmental education of children:

-To form an understanding that man is not the king of nature, but a part of it;

-Cultivate a desire to preserve your health and the environment;

-Explain the importance of natural resources in people's lives;

-Develop the skills of caring for all living things;

-Instill clear knowledge of how to behave in the forest, near bodies of water, in the park;

-Show the beauty of nature through the means of fine art.

-The formation of the beginnings of ecological culture in children, the development of environmental consciousness, thinking, and ecological culture in adults (educators, parents) raising them.

Developmental environment: Ecological path, laboratory, flower beds, educational garden, Dr. Aibolit’s corner (medicinal plants), living corners with animals: guinea pig, parrot, aquarium fish, plants.

S. N. Nikolaeva considers the essence of environmental education as the process of forming a consciously correct attitude of children towards natural objects with which they are in direct contact; awareness of oneself as a part of nature, understanding the value of life and health and their dependence on the state. All components of such an integrated approach to environmental education in a preschool institution do not exist separately, but are interconnected. Thus, a humane attitude towards nature arises in the process of realizing that the world around us is unique, in need of our care, and is consolidated in the process of practical activities to care for indoor plants, inhabitants of a living area, etc.

Revealing the beauty of nature to a child and teaching him to see it is a difficult task. To do this, the teacher himself must be able to live in harmony with nature, and the children must be ready to imitate his every move. They are very observant and attentive to the words of the teacher, they are good at distinguishing positive and negative in the actions of adults. Ecological education, sincere love for nature means not only a certain state of mind, the perception of its beauty, but also its understanding and knowledge.

Thus, the most important condition for the successful implementation of an integrated approach is the creation of an environment in which adults, by personal example, demonstrate to children the correct attitude towards nature and actively, to the best of their ability, participate together with children in environmental activities.

  1. INTRODUCTION

Working with parents on environmental education of preschool children is one of the components of the work of a preschool institution. After all, only by relying on the family, only by joint efforts can we solve the main task - raising a person with a capital “P”, an environmentally literate person.

Nowadays, the problems of environmental education have come to the fore and are receiving more and more attention. The reason lies in human activity in nature, often illiterate, incorrect from an environmental point of view, wasteful, leading to a disruption of the ecological balance.

The purpose of the work: the formation of the principles of ecological culture, the formation of a consciously correct attitude towards nature in all its diversity, towards the people who protect it; awareness of oneself as a part of nature; understanding the value of life and health and their dependence on the environment.

In working with parents on this problem, I solved the following problems:

  1. Reveal to parents the role of the family in nurturing the interests and positive attitude of a preschooler towards nature.
  2. Establish continuity in working with the family.
  3. Look for ways to naturally include the family in the process of introducing a preschooler to nature.

Expected results:

  • Increasing the role of parents in the environmental education of children;
  • Increasing the direct participation of parents and children in organizing and conducting various environmental events;
  • Increasing the level of knowledge among parents and children about the ecology of their hometown and nature conservation.

Preschool age is the most important stage in the development of human ecological culture. During this period, the foundations of personality are laid, including a positive attitude towards nature and the surrounding world. At this age, the child begins to distinguish himself from the environment, an emotional and value-based attitude to the environment develops, and the foundations of the moral and ecological positions of the individual are formed, which are manifested in the child’s interactions with nature, in the awareness of inseparability with it. Thanks to this, it is possible for children to develop environmental knowledge, norms and rules for interacting with nature, develop empathy for it, and be active in solving some environmental problems. At the same time, the accumulation of knowledge in preschool children is not an end in itself. They are a necessary condition for developing an emotional, moral and effective attitude towards the world.

The family can take on part of the work of developing a moral attitude towards nature in preschoolers.

An analysis of family education shows that most parents consider familiarization with nature an important means of comprehensive education. At the same time, many are not aware of the problems that can be solved. “Getting to know nature happens on its own,” “We meet you on the way to kindergarten,” “We haven’t thought about it,” these are the parents’ answers.

A person who knows how to observe nature experiences aesthetic experiences. The natural world, with its unusualness, novelty, and brightness, has an emotional impact on a person, causing him surprise, joy, delight, and encouraging him to convey feelings in words and actions. But not everyone is able to deeply penetrate the world of natural beauty, perceive it and enjoy it. It is necessary to teach a child not only to look, but also to see, not only to listen, but also to heed, to cherish the beauty of nature.

Aesthetic ignorance negatively affects a child's intellectual and ethical development. Enriching ideas about nature, knowledge of its laws and connections is impossible without an emotionally positive attitude towards it, therefore all communication with nature of a small child should be aimed at nurturing his emotional responsiveness, the ability to notice and appreciate the beauty of nature. At the same time, there is another danger: to teach people to formally communicate with nature, limiting themselves to either utilitarian activities (picking mushrooms, berries, flowers) or sports and recreational activities (swimming, playing in nature, etc.).

When working with parents, it is important to emphasize that before a walk “into nature”, at least a small goal is outlined related to the perception of an object of nature (to admire, take a closer look, notice, compare, remember, etc.).

2. MAIN PART

In my practice I use the following forms of working with parents on environmental education:

  • Questionnaires, conducting surveys to identify their environmental competence;
  • Round table conversations “Let's save our native nature”, parent meetings “Environmental education of children in kindergarten and at home”, “Wonders of living nature” in an unconventional form (talk shows, business games, pedagogical services bureau, direct telephone),
  • Conversations and messages with an environmental focus for the parent corner. (“Ecological passport”, “Ecological situation”, “The problem of “child’s health - environment””, “Help the tits”, “Birds and people”, “They stayed for the winter, we will help them”).
  • Calendar of interesting dates - joint leisure activities, holidays (“Bird Day”), KVNs, quizzes, etc.
  • Homework - participation in exhibitions, competitions, etc. (“Food for different birds”, “Forest canteen”, “Whose food tastes better”, “My pet”)
  • Involving parents in joint work with their children on the site and in the corner of nature.
  • The use of popular scientific methodological literature on the problems of environmental education.
  • Production of newspapers, photo newspapers, environmental albums, posters, folders, papers.
  • Compiling an album “Me and Nature” for each child throughout the year. Here are children's drawings, photographs taken during excursions, hikes, visits to summer cottages, trips to the village, etc. Parents record their children's statements, funny incidents and stories related to nature. Children in the group can talk about what new they learned, saw, where they visited, and comment on a photograph or drawing.
  • Development of a series of prohibitory and permitting signs. The first of them (red) reflect human actions that can harm nature and which a person should not commit. The second - resolving (green) - depicts everything that has a beneficial effect on nature and contributes to its good condition. During the walk, children can hang signs around the site and tell children from other groups about them.
  • Repairing old books and collecting waste paper. Children already know that paper is made from wood. This means that the longer paper things serve people, the more trees will remain in the forests. You can arrange an exhibition of books repaired together with your parents. Donate waste paper and use the funds received to buy new books, shovels, rakes, etc.

When choosing a particular form of work, you should pay attention to the contingent of parents, their interests, activities, creativity and capabilities. That is, as in the work of educating preschoolers, adhere to an individual approach. Traditional forms of work are designed for a wide range of people and are not always effective and efficient. As for non-traditional forms of work, here, with the help of a differentiated approach to working with parents, the effectiveness and efficiency of work increases, provided that the teacher finds and applies the right ways of interaction and work.

It is also important when communicating with parents to build a correct dialogue. Edifications, clear instructions, conventions, frameworks, specifics - everything that our parents receive every day at work leads to the fact that a positive response can be expected only from a small proportion of parents. And we need an emotional response, a desire to help and work together in a given direction. A positive attitude, a differentiated approach and a variety of forms of work will help to attract parents to joint activities, solving important problems and finding common correct solutions.

    1. . PROJECT “WORK WITH PARENTS ON ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION OF SENIOR PRESCHOOL CHILDREN”

Relevance of the project: due to the high level of environmental pollution and the low level of environmental culture of the population, much attention is paid to environmental education in Russia. Emphasis is placed on environmental education of all segments of the population.

The first stage of environmental education is preschool educational institutions. It is in preschool childhood that the foundations of environmental culture are laid. But cultivating a correct attitude towards nature, the ability to handle living objects of nature, can be fully implemented only if the system of work in a kindergarten is combined with influence on the child in the family.

The teacher’s task: together with the family, give children basic scientific knowledge about nature, maintain interest in learning about the environment, and teach them to empathize with living beings.

Conversations with parents revealed a great desire to introduce children to the nature of their native land, but at the same time showed a low level of environmental competence.

The example of parents is of considerable importance in the upbringing of preschool children. It was decided to begin environmental education of preschoolers by creating a project to work with parents, so that by their example adults could convey the importance of the problem of protecting nature to their children.

3.CONCLUSION

Cooperation with children's families on environmental issues and jointly organized events not only helped to ensure the unity and continuity of the pedagogical process, but also introduced into this process the special positive emotional coloring necessary for the child.

Only through joint efforts we were able to solve the main task - to raise an environmentally literate person. Children are our future, and if they grow up not indifferent to birds, insects, trees, flowers, the bright sun and an elegant rainbow, ready to defend a weak chick or an abandoned kitten, then our efforts and concerns were not in vain. And then maybe in our country the air will become a little cleaner, there will be a little less stray animals, the rivers will become deeper and clearer, and the people will be kinder.

The remarkable teacher V. A. Sukhomlinsky wrote: “Man was and always remains a son of nature, and what makes him related to nature should be used to introduce him to nature, to the riches of spiritual culture. The world surrounding a child is, first of all, the world of nature with an endless wealth of phenomena, with inexhaustible beauty. Here, in nature, is the eternal source of children’s intelligence.”

Appendix 2

Conversation for parents on the topic “Nature and moral education of children of senior preschool age”

When V. Bianchi was asked why he writes about forests, fields, animals and birds, he recalled his childhood, the Zoological Museum, where his father took him, and the painful desire to find magic words that would disenchant these long-vanished animals. Humanity is now fighting to ensure that our Earth does not turn into a huge “Zoological Museum”, so that each next generation treats nature more carefully than the previous one.

Nature is not an endless warehouse, its reserves are exhaustible, therefore human activity in nature must be reasonable: protective and creative.

This attitude towards nature must be instilled in children from an early age. It is from these years that a person begins to experience the beauty and diversity of nature.

It is necessary to instill a love of nature from an early age for two reasons: firstly, to cultivate a caring attitude towards the animal and plant world; secondly, for the development of more complex moral feelings and qualities: kindness, sympathy. A child’s behavior in nature is sometimes contradictory: having a positive attitude towards objects of nature, children often commit negative actions (plucking flowers they like and immediately throwing them away, tormenting and “petting” a kitten, etc.).

Sometimes they mistakenly think that the emotional impact of nature is a natural basis for cultivating a positive attitude towards it. A deep, conscious feeling of love and humane attitude towards it is not born from an external attitude towards nature, but can only be born. An interesting example is given in B. Ryabinin’s book “On Love for Living Things.” “The child is scaring the pigeons. At first glance, an innocent activity. But he has fun by scaring him, he likes that the pigeons flap their wings when he approaches and fly away, that they are afraid of him - and this is where, as they say, the dog is buried, here is the root and root cause of evil.”

The guidance of an adult is necessary so that the external emotional attitude towards nature develops into a moral and aesthetic feeling, which presupposes an active, effective position of the child.

Teachers working with preschoolers note that children have an insufficiently developed proactive, independent attitude towards natural objects. A child will not offend a lonely kitten he sees on the street, but he will not help it either; will not break tree branches, but will not tie up broken ones. Solving such problems as cultivating an effective attitude towards the environment and developing skills in caring for animals and plants depends on the coordination of efforts and the unity of the requirements of the kindergarten and family.

A preschooler often has selfish and utilitarian motives for communicating with objects of nature (“I like to play with the dog,” “I wrap my cat in a blanket and tie bows,” “I like to go to the forest and pick mushrooms with my dad”), but they are nevertheless available to him. good deeds, selfless work. The presence of knowledge does not yet indicate a child’s conscious and sustainable positive attitude towards nature. Why is it so important to include your child in the daily care of plants and animals? Those at home: “Check if the soil in the flower pots is dry,” “Prepare food for the parrot,” “Feed the dog,” “Change the cat’s water,” “Sow oats to feed the birds,” etc.

Watching TV shows about animals is of great importance. Is it good if parents watch the program first and pay attention to that material? Which will be interesting to the child, they think through an accessible commentary and, when repeating the program, watch it together with the child.

During walks, it is interesting to show children the plants listed in the Red Book, introduce the children to medicinal herbs, and tell them why they are called that. Children easily remember names such as coltsfoot, valerian, plantain, etc. After such conversations, they treat plants with care, even widespread ones.

Thus, every child should know well the rules for handling natural objects. It is advisable that these rules are formulated not in a negative form (“do not tear”, “do not trample”, “do not break”), but in a positive form (how to help, care, protect).

It is important to create an emotional contact between the child and nature: let him wander around on his own, find something unusual, sit quietly on a hillock, listen to the singing of birds or the murmur of a stream, or just look around him.

Of course, a child’s emotional attitude to nature is largely determined by the attitude of the adult himself, so it’s good when parents know a lot of poems, songs, and riddles about nature and use them during walks and observations. The relationship between the ethical and the aesthetic contributes to the formation of an effective love for nature.

Appendix 3

Material for the information stand for parents on the topic “The influence of nature on the spiritual development of a child”

  • K.D. Ushinsky was convinced that the child was unhappy who grew up without seeing meadows or admiring wildflowers. “Call me a barbarian in pedagogy,” he wrote, “but I have learned from the impressions of my life a deep conviction that a beautiful landscape has such a huge educational influence on the development of a young soul that it is difficult to compete with the influence of a teacher.”
  • In the old days there was such a custom: a cat was slipped to the groom who came to the house. If he stroked an animal, played with it, a kind person had come; if he treated him rudely, they were wary, since the attitude towards a person is also checked in relation to an animal.
  • Does a child’s knowledge of nature affect more than just the realm of the mind? But also the area of ​​moral feelings. Therefore, while imparting to children knowledge about the animal and plant world, adults simultaneously communicate the rules of behavior in the natural environment. The rules are transmitted to preschoolers in a specific life situation, with the help of the explanation of the mother or father, and as a result of the influence of fiction.
  • It is advisable to connect observations and walks in nature with other activities: reading books about plants and animals, drawing, storytelling. An adult creates conditions so that children’s knowledge is complete and deep and is correctly applied by them in various activities. It’s good when poems about nature are often heard in the house, and in the evenings children and their parents look at reproductions of paintings by I.I. Levitan, A.I. Kuindzhi, K.F. Yuon, N.M. Romadin, A.A. Plastov and other artists, they themselves come up with simple poems and songs about nature.
  • It is useful to have one of the animals in the house: a dog, a cat, fish, chickens, etc. A child can emotionally communicate with animals: play and talk. At the same time, parents are an example for children of a caring, attentive attitude towards animals; they explain to them the dependence of the animal’s well-being on the child’s fulfillment of the task of caring for it.
  • You came with your child to the autumn forest. Ask him which forest he likes better - autumn or summer? Why? What colors would he use if he were an artist and painted a picture of an autumn forest?
  • Draw the child’s attention to the fact that a person’s mood often depends on the weather conditions and natural phenomena.

“When it rains outside,” says six-year-old Denis, “I get bored and don’t want to do anything.”

“What do you think,” Father asks Dasha, “what mood do people have in the spring?”

“Joyful,” the daughter answers. “Everyone is glad that the cold winter is over and summer will soon be here.”

- And if you were a composer, what kind of music would you come up with about spring - sad or cheerful?

“Of course, cheerful, sunny and flowing,” Dasha answered.
