Presentation of project activities with children of the first group of early age
Project activities in the first early age group
The project method was developed at the beginning of the twentieth century by the American philosopher, psychologist and educator John Dewey (1859-1952). According to D. Dewey, education should be based
“on an active basis through the appropriate activities of children in accordance with their personal interests and personal goals.”
Research activities bring the child:
- joy, providing a positive moral influence, - harmoniously develops the mental and physical abilities of a growing person.
The organization of such activities is carried out using modern technology: the project method.
The main goal
of the project method in preschool institutions
is: The development of the free creative personality of the child, which is determined by the developmental tasks and tasks of children's research activities.
Development objectives:
—
ensuring the psychological well-being and health of children;
— development of cognitive abilities; — development of creative imagination; — development of creative thinking; — development of communication skills
The starting point of the study is the children's interests of today
The role of the teacher when using the project method:
—
taking into account the age characteristics of children; — creating conditions to stimulate children’s interests; - building your relationship with your child on complicity and co-creation; - motivates children’s activities; - uses gaming methods and techniques. The role of the preschooler: - is an active participant in the project; — overcomes difficulties in solving problems (the leading didactic goal of project methods)
The project plan
is developed jointly with children and parents, social partners are involved, and a project team is selected.
After the project is defended, its implementation begins
Project implementation principles:
— systemicity, — seasonality, — taking into account the individual, — taking into account age characteristics, — interaction with the child in preschool and family settings
When using the project method, a number of requirements must be taken into account:
-1st, the result towards which the project is focused must be practically and educationally significant for its participants. - 2nd, the problem posed must be investigated in a certain logical sequence: putting forward hypotheses about ways to solve it; discussion and selection of research methods; collection, analysis and systematization of received data; summing up and preparing them; conclusions and raising new problems. - 3rd; the content of the project should be based on the independent activities of children planned by them at the preparatory stage of work.
Using the project method, the teacher becomes an organizer of children's research activities and a generator of the development of their creative potential.
stages
:
- goal setting; — search for a form of project implementation; — development of the content of the entire educational process based on the topic of the project; — organization of a developmental, cognitive, subject environment;
— determination of directions of search and practical activities;
— organization of joint (with teachers, parents and children) creative, exploratory and practical activities; — work on parts of the project, correction; — collective implementation of the project, its demonstration.
An approximate work plan
for a teacher to prepare a project:

a) by the composition of participants; b) according to the target setting; c) by topic; d) according to implementation deadlines.
By duration, projects can be:
- short-term (from 1 day to 1 month)
