Environment approach in preparing future specialists of preschool education for the development of creative potential of children

Abstract

The article is devoted to the topical issue of introducing an environmental approach to the training of future specialists in preschool education in order to form their readiness to develop children's creative potential. The authors argue that the educational opportunities for introducing an environmental approach to the training of future teachers in pedagogical colleges are important, since it increases the effectiveness of professional training in general and the formation of readiness for the development of the creative potential of preschool children, in particular. It has been found that for a pedagogical college the definition of the educational environment is associated with a set of specially organised psychological and pedagogical conditions, as a result of which the individual's personality and worldview are formed in interaction with the individual. The peculiarities of the educational environment of a pedagogical college are characterised and it is defined as a complex systemic phenomenon, numerous elements of which, in particular, a set of material, social, psychological and pedagogical conditions and factors that affect the level of satisfaction of teachers and students with the educational process and indicate various characteristics of professional orientation, purposefulness and effectiveness of the functioning of this institution to maximise the satisfaction of society's demand for highly qualified educators, are able to. It is proved that the formation of future specialists' readiness for the development of children's creative potential should be saturated with conditions that maximally fill the educational process with training courses and permanent pedagogical practices to help future educators successfully design and adjust individual educational routes, increasing their motivation and readiness for practical pedagogical activities in the system of preschool education, including the creative development of preschool children. It has been established that the educational environment of pedagogical colleges in the context of forming students' readiness for the development of preschool children's creative potential should necessarily be of a creative type of modality and be characterised by a certain set of specific properties: observability, saturation, plasticity, autonomy of existence, synchronisation, integrity, motivationality, immersiveness, interactivity.
