Search and research project “First steps into science.” Development of cognitive activity of older preschoolers

Search and research project« First steps into science»

Development of cognitive activity of older preschoolers

Brief summary project

The purpose of this project is to organize the work of the teaching staff of GBOU school 536 DO7 in providing conditions for personality development of older preschoolers, in their assimilation of ideas about the relationship between nature and man, in mastering ways of interacting with the environment.

This work will be carried out through research search and cognitive activity, taking place in the form of experimental actions. In the process of various forms of work, children’s worldview and their personal growth are ensured.

Short-term project, designed for 9 lessons, has a narrow specialization (material properties). Project includes several stages of implementation (preparatory, implementation, generalizing stages).

If positive results are confirmed, this work will continue in the future. Planned based on project develop program and methodological materials on the interaction of preschool education with families and additional education teachers.

The performer is educational psychologist Kutkina E. Yu.

For implementation project an initiative group of teachers has been created, which includes entered: educators Silaeva A.V., Parfenova N.A.

Relevance

Currently, information and communication technologies have penetrated the life of every person, including preschooler. As a result, interest in the subject and its properties was replaced by interest in the means of transmitting information about the surrounding world. At the same time, the solution process educational tasks was replaced by a selection of ready-made stereotypical answers. What brought the teachers preschool institutions to realize the need to change approaches to child's cognitive development.

Russian education has also undergone significant changes. Federal state educational standard approved by the Ministry of Education and science The Russian Federation requires from the teacher that the programs provide personality development, including the motivation and abilities of children in various activities, in certain areas development and education.

Of course, this requires the teacher to reconsider technologies, focusing him on using more effective forms and methods in his activities that allow him to build the pedagogical process based on developmental education.

Among all possible means development of cognitive activity of preschool children Children's experimentation deserves special attention. Knowledge gained as a result of own experiment, research search much stronger and more reliable for a child than information about the world that is obtained through reproduction.

Unfortunately, the analysis of modern preschool practices education shows that teachers still retain disciplinary methods in their work, characteristic of the educational model of interaction with the child, which significantly reduces the possibility of the emergence of preschoolers' independent cognitive experience. The object position into which the child finds himself leads to a decrease in his motivation in cognitive activity.

These circumstances indicate an aggravation of the contradiction between increasing requirements for means of supporting children’s initiative in educational activities and insufficient development of comprehensive methodological support for the formation process cognitive interest in older preschool age.

These contradictions determined the problem research: search the most optimal pedagogical conditions for using the experimental method in cognitive development of a child of senior preschool age.

Target:

Development of cognitive activity in older preschoolers age in the process of children's experimentation.

Tasks:

1. Develop cognitive interests of children in the process of research activities;

2. Teach children to acquire new information through experimentation;

3. Create and implement a process model development of sustainable cognitive interest and research search activity– research activities preschoolers;

4. Satisfy children's curiosity in the process active cognitively– research activities;

5. Help children master fundamental cultural forms of ordering experience.

6. Expand children’s understanding of the world around them;

7. Develop a preschooler in the social and personal direction;

8. To create motivation among parents to work with children on development of cognitive activity.

Stages of work:

Stage I. Preparatory (Organizational):

Study and analysis of methodological literature on the topic;

Planning children's experimental activities;

Selection of basic equipment and material

Stage II. Implementation

Summarizing the results of activities at the pedagogical council, presentation for teachers, booklets for teachers, etc.

At the 1st stage of the work, materials were studied that provided the basic provisions on children's experimentation as a special form search activity.

An analysis of methodological literature on this topic revealed a number of supposed advantages of experimental activities with children, and exactly:

Deeper assimilation of subject content;

High ability to concentrate knowledge from different areas;

-development creative thinking;

A large number of ideas, their depth, originality;

Children’s emotional involvement in experimental activities, interest in what is happening.

It was decided to use interesting experiments to identify the properties and qualitative characteristics of non-living materials. nature: clay, wood, metal and man-made materials peace: glass, plastic, fabric, paper, rubber; in the final stage of the experiment, summing up the results and formulating conclusions, use graphical recording (scheme). A plan for children's experimental activities was drawn up.

The selection of basic equipment and materials was carried out. It was decided to use ordinary household, gaming and non-standard equipment in the work.

At the 2nd stage of the experiment, a set of activities was carried out with children and parents on experimental activities.

Implementation of a set of activities with children and parents on experimental activities.

Events

1. Classes - experiments.

2. Quest « Treasure Hunt» (Educational game - entertainment based on the results of the material studied)

3. Exhibition “I study, I experiment, I do” (child-parent creativity)

4. Online consultations for parents on children's experimentation: “Organization of experimental work to familiarize ourselves with the properties of materials and their qualitative characteristics”

5. Creating an album on children's experimentation (co-creation of parents and teachers)

Stage 3 includes an analysis of the effectiveness of the implementation of the experience.

Monitoring of children's mastery of experimental activities showed stable cognitive activity of preschoolers(high and medium levels cognitive activity) .

IN first group(high level) 9 children were included, which is 56.25%. Cognitive attitude in preschool children resistant to experimental activities. They show initiative and creativity in solving problematic problems. They see the problem. Actively make assumptions. Consciously choose objects and materials for independent experimental activities in accordance with their qualities, properties, and purpose. In a dialogue with an adult, the course of the experimental activity is explained. They bring the matter to an end. They formulate in speech whether the result has been achieved or not. They draw conclusions.

To the second group (intermediate level) include 7 children - this is 43.75%.

In most cases, the child shows active cognitive interest in experimental activities. Sees a problem sometimes with a little help from an adult, makes suggestions with a little help from others (peers or adult). Accepts active participation in planning experimental activities together with an adult. Prepares material for experimentation based on qualities and properties. Can formulate conclusions based on leading questions.

Children with low cognitive activity not detected.

Conclusion

This work proves that such an innovative teaching method as experimental activity is a powerful tool development of cognitive activity of older preschoolers.
