The teaching staff has an important task: to let curious and active children go to school, so educators write various programs according to the established standard. They also carry out project activities in kindergarten according to GEF.
What is GEF?
The project activity in the kindergarten under the GEF is the interaction of teachers, children and their parents. As a result of joint work, children develop cognitive abilities and creative thinking. The children learn to independently search for information and put it into practice.
When it comes to project activities in the kindergarten under the Federal State Educational Standard , the educator must remember that for the child he becomes an equal partner. To create a trusting relationship, the teacher needs to comply with certain conditions.
- The teacher does the tasks together with the children - so he makes it clear that they are on the same level. An adult teacher simply shows techniques and observes the activities of children.
- The child must take part in the classes voluntarily. The task of the educator is to interest children in their activities.
- Free movement of children during class.
- Work on the project at an individual pace.
How is it implemented
Project activities in kindergarten are considered outside the traditional grid of classes. Each project requires careful planning and thought out details. Project activities in kindergarten according to GEF are based on the following theoretical principles:
- focuses on the child;
- the individual pace of children's work is respected, so that everyone can achieve success;
- basic knowledge is easier to learn because of its versatility.
Why design activities in children. Is the garden always up to date? Because each baby has its own explicit and hidden features, and at each age - sensitive periods. This direction allows taking this into account and creating the necessary conditions for the maximum realization of children's opportunities.
Types of design activities in the garden
- Research. The main goal in this direction is to find answers to questions: “why,” “how,” etc. A preschooler does not just listen to what the teacher tells him, but also becomes a researcher and tries to find the answer to the question. The task of the educator is to create conditions for the child to independently search for answers.
Then the preschooler joins in the project activity and conducts experiments with the teacher, etc. Then the kid demonstrates the result of his research activities and tells how he understood the topic. The teacher also offers intellectual games to consolidate the learned material.
Creative. A feature of this type of project activity in kindergarten according to the Federal State Educational Standard is its time duration and collective nature. At the initial stage, discussion and selection of the topic takes place, then the teacher looks for ways to motivate each child to take part in the work.
The most difficult part in the creative approach is the stage at which children try to come to a common decision, because it is still difficult for preschoolers to convey their point of view to each other. The teacher should not take sides, he should give children the opportunity to come to an independent decision.
This will help children overcome self-centeredness and reach a new level of communication. Next is the implementation of the plan and its presentation. Not all children show the result, but elected representatives who will tell about the progress of work.
- Normative. The project activity in the kindergarten on GEF in this direction implies that children independently create a system of rules and norms in the group. These projects help to solve educational problems, but are implemented exclusively by children.
Of course, this does not mean that the teacher does not control the process of creating rules. At first, the teacher conducts ethical discussions with the children, during which the necessary behavior is formed. Then a discussion of the adverse effects is held, and only then are the group rules formed.
Output
Summing up, we can say that the need for project activity is due to the fact that it allows you to expand the field for children's research. It develops not only intellectual, but also communication skills of not only children, but also adults, therefore, for greater efficiency, project activities are included in the educational program.
