Introduction
The process of reorganization of the entire education system, which has been going on for many years, places high demands on the organization of preschool education and training , and intensifies the search for new, more effective psychological and pedagogical approaches to this process.
Innovative processes at the present stage of development of society primarily affect the system of preschool education , as the initial stage in revealing the potential abilities of a child. The development of preschool education and the transition to a new qualitative level cannot be carried out without the development of innovative technologies [ 1,24].
Innovation determines new methods, forms, means, technologies used in pedagogical practice, focused on the child’s personality and the development of his abilities .
1. Modern stages of development of Russia
At the present stage of development of Russia, changes are taking place in educational processes: the content of education is becoming more complex, focusing the attention of preschool teachers on the development of the creative and intellectual abilities of children, correction of the emotional-volitional and motor spheres; Traditional methods are being replaced by active methods of teaching and upbringing aimed at enhancing the child’s cognitive development . In these changing conditions, a preschool needs to be able to navigate the variety of integrative approaches to child development , and a wide range of modern technologies [2,132 ].
Innovative technologies are a system of methods, methods, teaching , educational tools aimed at achieving a positive result through dynamic changes in the personal development of a child in modern sociocultural conditions. Pedagogical innovations can either change the processes of education and training , or improve them. Innovative technologies combine progressive creative technologies and stereotypical elements of education that have proven their effectiveness in the process of teaching.
The following reasons for the emergence of innovations in preschool education : scientific research; sociocultural environment - the need of preschool educational institutions for new pedagogical systems; creative variability of teachers; parents' interest in achieving positive dynamics in the development of children [3,44 ].
2. Pedagogical technologies
The concept of pedagogical technology includes :
conceptual framework;
content of training ( learning and content of educational material)
;
technological part (organization of the educational process, methods and forms of educational activities, methods and forms of teacher work; diagnostics).
According to G.K. Selevko, any pedagogical technology must satisfy some basic methodological requirements manufacturability criteria )
[2,243].
Conceptuality presupposes reliance on a certain scientific concept, including philosophical, psychological, didactic and socio-pedagogical justification for achieving educational goals.
Consistency includes the presence of all the features of the system: the logic of the process, the interconnection of all its parts, integrity.
Controllability makes it possible for diagnostic goal setting, planning, design of the learning , step-by-step diagnostics, varying means and methods in order to correct results.
Efficiency considers optimality in terms of costs, a guarantee of achieving a certain standard of training .
Reproducibility implies the possibility of application (repetition, reproduction)
pedagogical
technology in other similar educational institutions, by other subjects.
Based on the analysis of pedagogical technologies carried out by G. N. Selevko, the following technologies used in the preschool education : developmental learning technologies , problem-based learning , gaming technologies , computer technologies , alternative technologies .
3. The concept of “game pedagogical technologies ”
The concept of “game pedagogical technologies ”
includes a fairly extensive group of methods and techniques for organizing the pedagogical process in the form of various pedagogical games.
Unlike games in general, a pedagogical game has an essential feature - a clearly defined learning and a corresponding pedagogical result, which can be justified, identified explicitly and characterized by a cognitive orientation.
The game form of classes is created by game motivation, which acts as a means of inducing and stimulating children to educational activities [4,243].
The implementation of gaming techniques and situations in the classroom takes place in the following main areas:
a didactic goal is set for children in the form of a game task;
educational activities are subject to the rules of the game;
educational material is used as its means;
an element of competition is introduced into educational activities, which transforms a didactic task into a game one;
successful completion of a didactic task is associated with the game result.
The place and role of gaming technology in the educational process , the combination of game and learning elements largely depend on the teacher’s understanding of the functions and classification of pedagogical games.
Based on the nature of the pedagogical process, the following groups are distinguished:
teaching , training, controlling and generalizing;
cognitive, educational, developmental ;
reproductive, productive, creative;
communicative, diagnostic, psychotechnical, etc.
The specifics of gaming technology are largely determined by the gaming environment: there are games with and without objects, board-print games; indoor, outdoor, on the ground, computer and with TSO, as well as with various means of transportation.
The psychological mechanisms of gaming activity are based on the fundamental needs of the individual for self-expression, self-affirmation, self-regulation, and self-realization.
The content of children's games develops sequentially : objective activity, relationships between people, compliance with the rules of social behavior.
The purpose of gaming technologies is to solve a number of problems:
didactic (broadening horizons, cognitive activity; formation of certain skills and abilities necessary in practical activities, etc.);
developing ( development of attention , memory, speech, thinking, imagination, fantasy, creative ideas, skills to establish patterns, find optimal solutions, etc.);
educating (nurturing independence, will, formation of moral, aesthetic and ideological positions, nurturing cooperation, collectivism, sociability, etc.);
socializing (familiarization with the norms and values of society; adaptation to environmental conditions, etc.) [4,129].
Gaming technologies are widely used in preschool age , since play is the leading activity during this period. The child masters role play by the third year of life, becomes familiar with human relationships, begins to distinguish between the external and internal aspects of phenomena, discovers the presence of experiences and begins to navigate them.
The child’s imagination and symbolic function of consciousness are formed, which allow him to transfer the properties of some things to others, orientation in his own feelings arises and skills of their cultural expression are formed, which allows the child to be involved in collective activities and communication.
As a result of mastering play activities in the preschool period, readiness for socially significant and socially valued learning activities is formed.
4. Problem-based learning technology
The technology of problem-based learning is based on the theoretical principles of the American philosopher, psychologist and teacher D. Dewey[5,33]. Today, problem-based learning is understood as such an organization of educational activities that involves the creation, under the guidance of a teacher, of problem situations and the active independent activity of students to resolve them, as a result of which the creative mastery of professional knowledge, skills, abilities and the development of thinking abilities occurs.
The goal of problem technology is the acquisition of knowledge, mastering methods of independent activity, and the development of cognitive and creative abilities.
Problem-based learning is based on the creation of a special type of motivation - problem-based, and therefore requires adequate construction of the didactic content of the material, which should be presented as a chain of problem situations.
Problem situations can be different in the content of the unknown, in the level of problem, in the type of information mismatch, and in other methodological features.
Problem-based methods are methods based on the creation of problem situations, active cognitive activity of students, consisting in searching and solving complex issues that require updating knowledge, analysis, and the ability to see a phenomenon or law behind individual facts.
In the modern theory of problem-based learning, two types of problem situations are distinguished: psychological and pedagogical. The first concerns the activities of students, the second represents the organization of the educational process.
A pedagogical problem situation is created with the help of activating actions, questions from the teacher, emphasizing the novelty, importance, beauty and other distinctive qualities of the object of knowledge. The creation of a psychological problem situation is purely individual. Neither a cognitive task that is too difficult nor a cognitive task that is too easy creates a problematic situation for children. Problem situations can be created at all stages of the learning : during explanation, reinforcement, control.
5. The basis of developmental learning technologies
Developmental learning technologies are based on that originates in the works of I. G. Pestalozzi, K. D. Ushinsky and others [4,235]. The theory was scientifically substantiated in the works of L. S. Vygotsky, who put forward the idea of learning that goes ahead of development and is focused on the development of the child as the main goal. According to his hypothesis, knowledge is not the ultimate goal of learning , but merely a medium for student development .
The ideas of L. S. Vygotsky were developed and substantiated within the framework of the psychological theory of activity by A. N. Leontiev, P. Ya. Galperin, etc.). As a result of the revision of traditional ideas about development and its relationship with learning , the formation of the child as a subject of various types of human activity was brought to the fore [6,87].
its further development in the experimental works of L. V. Zankov, D. B. Elkonin, V. V. Davydov and others.
In their concepts, training and development appear as a system of dialectically interconnected aspects of one process. Education is recognized as the driving force behind a child’s mental development and the development of the entire range of personality traits. Currently, within the framework of the concept of developmental education, a number of technologies have been developed that differ in target orientations, features of content and methodology.
Developmental learning , according to V.V. Davydov, is understood as a new, active-activity method (type)
of learning , replacing the explanatory-illustrative method (type)
[5,33].
In the technology of developmental education, the child is assigned the role of an independent subject interacting with the environment. This interaction includes all stages of activity: goal setting, planning and organization, implementation of goals, analysis of performance results. Developmental education is aimed at developing the entire complex of personality qualities.
Developmental learning occurs in the child's zone of proximal development . L. S. Vygotsky wrote: “Pedagogy should focus not on yesterday, but on tomorrow’s child development .” He identified two levels in child development : 1) sphere (level)
actual
development - already formed qualities and what the child can do independently; 2) zone of proximal development - those types of activities that the child is not yet able to perform independently, but which he can cope with with the help of adults [7,97].
The zone of proximal development is a greater or lesser opportunity to move from what a child can do independently to what he can do in cooperation.
An essential feature of developmental education is that it creates a zone of proximal development , evokes, encourages, and sets in motion the internal processes of mental formations.
6. Information technologies in pedagogy
Information technologies in teaching pedagogy refer to all technologies that use special technical information tools (computers, audio, video)
.
Computers began to be widely used in education, and the term “computer
education technology ” .
Computer technologies are developing the ideas of programmed learning , opening up completely new, not yet explored technological options associated with the unique capabilities of modern computers and communications. Computer (new information) teaching technologies are the processes of preparing and transmitting information to the learner via a computer.
The purpose of computer technology is to develop the ability to work with information, develop communication abilities, and prepare the personality of the “information society”
, formation of research skills, abilities to make optimal decisions.
In a broad sense, alternative technologies are usually considered to be those that oppose the traditional teaching in some way, be it goals, content, forms, methods, relationships, positions of participants in the pedagogical process. From this point of view, any innovation can claim the status of an alternative technology .
Alternative technologies involve abandoning both the traditional conceptual foundations of the pedagogical process (socio-philosophical, psychological, generally accepted organizational, substantive and methodological principles, and replacing them with other, alternative ones.
7. Technology of educational games B. P. Nikitina
The game activity program consists of a set of educational games , which, with all their diversity, are based on a general idea and have characteristic features.
Each game is a set of problems that the child solves with the help of cubes, bricks, squares made of cardboard or plastic, parts from a mechanical designer, etc. In his books, B. P. Nikitin offers educational games with cubes , patterns, frames and Montessori inserts, unicube, plans and maps, squares, “Guess”
, hundreds of tables,
“dots”
,
“clocks”
, thermometer, bricks, cubes, constructors.
Children play with balls, ropes, rubber bands, pebbles, nuts, corks, buttons, sticks, etc., etc. Subject-based educational games are the basis of construction, labor and technical games and are directly related to intelligence.
Tasks are given to the child in various forms: in the form of a model, a flat isometric drawing, a drawing, written or oral instructions, etc., and thus introduce him to different ways of transmitting information.
The tasks have a very wide range of difficulties: from those that are sometimes accessible to a two or three year old child to those that are beyond the capabilities of the average adult. Therefore, games can excite interest for many years (until adulthood)
.
A gradual increase in the difficulty of tasks in games allows the child to move forward and improve independently, that is, to develop his creative abilities, in contrast to education , where everything is explained and where, basically, only the performing traits in the child are formed.
The solution to the problem appears before the child not in the abstract form of the answer to a logical problem, but in the form of a drawing, pattern or structure made of cubes, parts of a construction set, i.e. in the form of visible and tangible things. This allows you to visually compare the “task”
with
the “solution”
and check the accuracy of the task yourself[8,23].
In educational games (this is their main feature)
it is possible to combine one of the basic principles
of learning - from simple to complex - with the very important principle of creative activity independently according to ability, when a child can rise to the “ceiling”
of his capabilities.
According to B.P. Nikitin, this union made it possible to solve several problems related to the development of creative abilities in the game: educational games can provide “food”
to
develop creative abilities from a very early age; stepping stone tasks always create conditions that precede the development of abilities ; By studying independently each time up to your “ceiling”
, the child
develops most successfully .
Educational games can be very diverse in their content, like any games; they do not tolerate coercion and create an atmosphere of free and joyful creativity.
Conclusion
The work of a teacher is quite complex and varied. It predetermines the use of a large number of techniques for analyzing the personality of students, for solving problems and conflict issues.
In the work of a teacher, it is very important to be vigilant and objectively assess the situation, selecting the best methods for solving problematic issues and conflict situations.
It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that absolutely any technology of pedagogical training originates from the root causes and primary sources, which are the determining foundations of a person’s mental state. The main leading factor of development plays a fundamental role in this aspect and forms the fundamental element on which technology .

At the moment, it is difficult to underestimate the importance of play in a child’s life, because only through play does a child learn to understand the world around him, develop his cognitive skills, generally speaking, learn to develop his social skills through role-playing game performances. The game forms the imagination and teaches the child all-round development and the ability to feel and perceive emotionally the foundations of social life.
the correct choice of pedagogical means, which, on the one hand, help the child to internalize social norms, on the other hand, to realize himself and, accordingly, determine his individual way of behavior in the social structure.

Person-centered approach
A person-centered approach to teaching represents the teacher’s concentrated attention to the integrity of a person’s personality. The teacher is obliged to take care not only of the development of mental abilities and intelligence, but also to cultivate responsibility, citizenship, spirituality, creative, emotional and aesthetic qualities with the potential for further development.
Personally oriented education has its own goals:
- creating conditions for the comprehensive and full development of all functions of the individual;
- develop the individual’s ability to choose;
- develop the ability to evaluate one’s actions, life, reflection;
- develop the ability to search for the meaning of life;
- develop creative potential;
- to form the responsibility of the “I” image, in accordance with the statement “I am responsible for everything”;
- develop personal autonomy (as it develops, it becomes increasingly freed from other factors).
In this case, the student is the main person in the entire educational process, and the teacher is a source of information, controller, diagnostician and assistant for the development of the student’s personality. This learning process assumes the presence of guidance on the principle: “help me do it myself.”
Systems approach
Many scientists consider a systematic approach to be effective, which is implemented through:
- integration of various forms of education and training of schoolchildren at all stages of formation, development of their personality in preschool institutions, schools of all types, out-of-school institutions;
- integration through various subjects and types of arts at all stages of children's development, taking into account their abilities and age;
- interaction between compulsory and optional forms of education;
- close interaction and cooperation of all subjects of the educational process, teachers, parents and children.
Activity approach
The activity approach is used to unleash children's creative potential. In this approach, the main thing is the gradual development of a special gift, which will proceed from early childhood to the completion of education and entry into independent life. It is also worth noting that only a differentiated approach to the upbringing and education of children is most developed today in domestic science and practice.
The main activities include:
- practical;
- theoretical;
- educational;
- communicative;
- artistic and aesthetic
- spiritual and valuable.
If we talk about the spheres of the psyche, they can be represented as intellectual, emotional and motivational-volitional. Each of the spheres has its own levels of mental organization. If this is an intellectual sphere, then it can be distinguished by sensorimotor, spatial-visual and conceptual-logical levels. The emotional sphere is the levels that reflect emotional response and experience. The motivational-volitional sphere is the levels of motivation, goal setting and meaning generation.
Cognitive activity can be expressed in various types of activities, both in the natural sciences and in the humanities, including intellectual games. But a special role in all approaches is given to the teacher, to the one who can guide and advise.
The system-activity approach is an educational process in which the student occupies the main place and develops his potential capabilities in independent cognitive activity to the maximum extent. The student’s position: “I experience the world in the conditions created for me.” The position of the teacher is to address the class with a question, but not with an answer (skills, abilities and ready-made knowledge).
The formation of higher human feelings occurs in the process of the child’s assimilation of social values, requirements, norms and ideals, which, under certain conditions, become the internal property of his personality, the content of the motivations for his behavior. As a result of such assimilation, the child acquires a unique system of standards of values, with which he compares observed phenomena and evaluates them emotionally as attractive or repulsive, as good or evil, as beautiful or ugly.
Problem Approach
The problem-based approach focuses on using the real opportunities of education in achieving social goals:
- it is impossible to control the formation of personal qualities;
- You can manage activities that contribute to the development of certain personal qualities.
The problem-based approach helps to solve the problem of the sources of modern general education, but it is difficult to solve the problem without personal experience, however, this approach develops the ability of schoolchildren to solve problems independently. To solve problems and develop creativity, project activities can be used, which take schoolchildren beyond the boundaries of school education.
It is clear that it is possible to develop in students the ability to independently solve problems only on the basis of developing experience in solving these problems. But schooling is not enough for this. It can primarily provide experience in solving cognitive problems, but even in this case, some of the difficulties that are significant for students may be outside the scope of school education.
Communicative approach
The concept of the communicative approach to teaching is focused learning. For the first time she substantiated the communicative approach to teaching by I.A. Replacing, after which I.L. Beam in his work developed a practical implementation of the method and will offer a number of intensive methods. The communicative approach is developmental learning, which is carried out through the development of speech activity. With the help of speech, students try to solve imaginary or very real problems. This means that the student is at the center of learning, and he is the subject of learning activities. The training system of the subject in this case takes into account as much as possible all individual, age, psychological, personal interests and national characteristics. The communicative approach develops the student’s speech activity, such as speaking, writing, listening, and translating. This approach implements all the basic requirements for modern and developmental education, such as:
- task use;
- communicative behavior of the teacher in the classroom;
- recreating communication situations that involve performing educational actions and real-life communication within similar situations;
- at the same time, the grammatical form and all its functions in speech are simultaneously mastered;
- The individual characteristics of the students being trained are also taken into account.
The ultimate goal of the communicative approach is not only the formation, but also the further development of communicative competencies, that is, the student develops his abilities and readiness for verbal communication.
Traditional approach
The traditional approach is focused on maintaining the extensive path of school development. He assumes that the more knowledge a student has acquired, the higher his level of education. At the same time, the level of education from the perspective of modernity is determined by a different criterion, the level of encyclopedic knowledge, and the competency-based approach in education is the ability to solve tasks and problems based on acquired knowledge of any complexity. The new approach focuses on the ability of graduates to use the acquired knowledge in practical application and does not deny the importance of the acquired knowledge. As the goal of education, this approach reflects both the personal growth potential and the prospect of new opportunities for students. With the traditional approach, it is the goals of education that model the result and are easily described when answering the question, what new things will the student learn while studying at school? With a competency-based approach, it is necessary to pose a different question: what will a student learn over the years of studying at school?
Thus, in both the first and second options, the end result of education is considered to be the development of not only personal qualities, but also the level of formation of a value system, and this is, first of all, moral potential. If we consider the competency-based approach as a result of educational activities, then the formation of key competencies comes first. This approach to defining goals in school education can be attributed to the expectations of teachers and students; this is understood as a description of the opportunities that can be obtained as a result of educational activities.
Scientific principle
Real knowledge must be provided while teaching a young child. You cannot simplify the material to the point of being schematic or distort it. A child remembers all information between the ages of 2 and 7 years. If the base is incorrectly formed, the child’s ideas will be greatly distorted.
The principle of science in the study of nature
In the process of teaching a child, specific ideas and knowledge about the world around him should be formed. All knowledge acquired should not conflict with the school curriculum. Didactics deals with this problem when teaching children of primary preschool age. She tries to prepare educational material in such a way that it is understandable to young children, but has a correct scientific basis. A thorough study of the curriculum for preschool children helps to create a powerful base on which it will be easier to string all school material.
Features of the scientific approach in the process of education are the formation in children of a unified picture of the world and a correct understanding of the laws of nature. It is very difficult to indicate the age of a child when basic concepts of the universe are formed. Many representatives of preschool education are inclined to believe that these basics should be an integral part of the education process.
From a very early age, children need to form correct ideas about the world around them, based on modern scientific knowledge.
Interactive approach
The interactive approach is a type of activity associated with learning new material and using an interactive lesson. The basis of such a lesson is interactive tasks and exercises that are performed by the students themselves.
The difference between interactive tasks and exercises is that the tasks are aimed mainly at learning new material and consolidating what has already been covered. In modern pedagogy there is a huge arsenal of modern interactive approaches, these can be:
- group educational games, simulations, role-playing, business, educational, etc.;
- creative tasks;
- projects, cognitive skills, are associated with the perception, memorization, search and processing of information, with the help of which independent knowledge is acquired.
An example of such skills might be observation, experimentation, or working with educational material;
- dramatizations, plays, newspapers, warm-up exhibitions and much more;
- audio and video materials;
- working with visual aids;
- discussions, debates, round tables, quizzes, etc.
