Fairy tale as a means of moral education of preschool children

Spiritual and moral upbringing is an urgent issue in modern society. The foundations of morality and values should be laid from the earliest and preschool age, when character and attitude to the world and people around us are formed. One of the most effective means of moral education is a fairy tale. A fairy tale is necessary for a baby, a child, and even a teenager. The tasks of a fairy tale are different for each age. A fairy tale comforts and entertains a baby, while a fairy tale educates preschoolers, gives them the opportunity to understand the moral laws of life and find answers to questions. In a preschool educational institution, spiritual and intellectual upbringing can be realized through several aspects of organized activities, one of the most striking examples of which is theatrical activity. In kindergarten, there is an opportunity to unleash the child's creative potential and foster a creative personality. Among the various traditional and non-traditional types of theater used in our kindergarten, the most appropriate for children of early and preschool age is “Theater on the Apron”. This type of theater is very relevant and mobile in our time. The teacher puts on an apron and thus embodies a theatrical performance. You can show a fairy tale, a joke or play it out with the kids in a group, on the street or in a shelter. Theatrical art is close and understandable to both children and adults, primarily because it is based on play. Collective theatrical activity is aimed at a holistic impact on the child's personality, its liberation, independent creativity, development of leading mental processes; promotes self-knowledge and self-expression of the individual, creates conditions for socialization, enhances adaptive abilities, corrects communication skills, helps to realize the feeling of satisfaction, joy, success. Involvement of kids in theatrical activities helps to master the world of human feelings, communication skills, and develop the ability to empathize with adults or peers. “Apron theater” is one of the brightest and most interesting ideas, because children can not only play some roles themselves, but also act together with adults and imitate them, kids learn to understand and use the language of facial expressions and gestures, improve their speech, in which emotional coloring and intonation are important components. It is the child's desire to participate in a theatrical performance and his or her emotional state that is very important. Children's desire to show what the character feels helps them to master the alphabet of moral relations. Empathy for the characters in the plays develops the child's feelings and understanding of bad and good human qualities. Familiarizing children with fairy tales and rhymes through theatrical activities develops not only mental functions, artistic abilities, creative potential, but also the universal ability to interact with others, to create in any field, and helps them to adapt to society and feel successful.

Walking meetings in a modern institution of preschool education

In the article, the author examines the actual problem of the influence of distance learning on preschool children in Ukraine, especially in the conditions of modern social and political challenges. It is noted that the isolation caused by distance education has a negative impact on the development of children's social and communication skills, because they lack live communication with peers and teachers. The author emphasizes the importance of implementing innovative pedagogical approaches, among which walking meetings occupy a key place. They help compensate for the lack of physical activity and socialization during distance learning. Walking meetings are based on the pedagogical concepts of such outstanding educational scientists as V. Sukhomlynskyi, J. Dewey, R. Steiner, L. Berezivska, O. Petrenko, who emphasized the importance of contact with nature for the comprehensive development of a child. Interaction with the natural environment contributes not only to physical health, but also to the development of cognitive processes, social skills, and emotional stability. Thus, walking meetings in the conditions of distance education for preschool children become an important component of the educational process, as they not only support their physical activity, but also contribute to harmonious development, compensating for the lack of communication. In addition, walking meetings have an important socio-pedagogical role, as they contribute to the formation of partnership relations between teachers and parents. This interaction makes it possible to create a more effective model of education that meets the modern challenges and needs of children. Creating such learning and upbringing conditions that take into account both academic requirements and emotional needs of children is critically important for their harmonious development in the modern world. This approach avoids overload and stress while maintaining a healthy balance between learning and emotional well-being. Integrating walking meetings and other innovative methods into the learning process helps children develop important social and communication skills while maintaining their physical and mental balance. This creates a favorable educational environment where the child can feel protected, supported and motivated to learn, which contributes to his holistic development.

Citizenship education in Lithuanian preschool education : The teachers’ view

Abstract In Lithuania, citizenship education for preschool children was not regulated until 2022, and consequently the related issues have not yet received much attention from Lithuanian researchers. However, based on the insights of scientists from other countries it can be argued that in order for children to be active citizens when they grow up, it is important to develop their civic attitudes and behaviour in early childhood. The aim of the research presented in the article is to find out teachers’ attitudes towards citizenship education for young children in Lithuanian preschool education. Summarising the results of a structured group interview, we can state that in Lithuanian preschool education institutions, children receive only a fragmentary and superficial education in citizenship, because, on the one hand, teachers have a narrow conception/understanding of citizenship and, on the other hand, they basically do not understand the content of the citizenship education programme and what components constitute citizenship competence. However, it should be noted that teachers understand the need to change the current practice, but they do not know how this can be done.

Associations between family factors and physical activity clustering in preschool children: a cross-sectional study.

This study aimed to examine the association between family factors and physical activity (PA) clustering in preschool children. Preschoolers' PA and sedentary behavior (SB) were assessed consecutively for 7 days using ActiGraph accelerometers based on the cutoff counts developed by Pate et al. Information about children, their parents, and their families was collected using questionnaires. We developed a two-step approach to clustering PA both inside and outside of kindergarten. The Euclidean distance metric was utilized to distinguish between groups, while the Schwarz-Bayesian criterion was applied to identify the most optimal sub-group model. A one-way ANOVA was used to assess the clustering effect, and logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of different clustering. We collected data from 291 preschool children aged 3 to 6 years and divided them into three clusters-Inactive (50.2%), Active in kindergarten (26.8%), and Active outside kindergarten (23.0%)-with significant differences in PA and SB, revealing distinct temporal and spatial clustering patterns (silhouette coefficient = 0.3, p < 0.05). Furthermore, preschooler activity levels correlated significantly with factors including gender (OR = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.19-0.66), age (OR = 1.05, 95% CI: 1.00-1.10), birth weight (OR = 1.79, 95% CI: 1.16-2.76), paternal age (OR = 1.01, 95% CI: 1.00-1.02), and maternal income (OR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.48-0.96). This study shows that the family environment or parents significantly influence the PA of preschool children. Older fathers may promote preschool children's PA through greater educational focus and financial stability, while higher maternal income can provide more opportunities and resources for preschool children to engage in active lifestyles. Thus, it is suggested that families providing more attention and exercise opportunities for preschool children's education can help improve their PA levels in the future.

Engaging in Interactive Book Reading: General Warming Up Before Exercising for Children

Many parents are encouraging their children to exercise as a result of the COVID- 19 pandemic. Many others, on the other hand, do not warm up before participating in any sport.

Warming up is crucial before exercising, yet many people are still unaware of the risks of not doing so. The objectives for this project is to create an interactive sports book. Unlike traditional books, this interactive book will use lift-the-flap, slide, or spin-the-wheel strategies to make learning more entertaining for children. To promote the socialization of young people through sports. As well as teaching children how to warm up with the assistance of adults. The method used is qualitative method. The results is It is clear from the in-depth interview and observation that many people still ignore the importance of warming up. Several children revealed in interviews that their teacher did not teach them how to warm up, and one of them learned about warming up via YouTube. Which means that the video that children see isn't always appropriate for their age group's warming up movement. According to the findings of the interviews, manipulating a scenario and performing fundamental movements is an effective technique to teach preschool children to warm up. The 7 Primal Movement Patterns is a great warm-up for children aged 3- 5 years. The seven basic movements are twist, push, pull, bend, squat, lunge, and gait.

Design of Calligraphy Teaching Materials from the Perspective of Chinese Preschool Education-Anshan City Case Study

Background and Aim: The art of Chinese calligraphy is an important part of Chinese culture because of its artistic and aesthetic value. It originates from Chinese characters, which evolved from traditional symbols. Chinese characters have gone through three stages of development: image, borrowing, and echoing. Chinese characters have evolved from pictures and symbols to standardized forms such as ancient seal script, small seal script, official script, regular script, running script, and cursive script. Calligraphy is a special art originating from China. Children begin learning calligraphy at an early age, with some children as young as four or five practicing scribbling and writing. Before formal literacy education, children develop curiosity about words and engage in spontaneous writing. Learning calligraphy is ideal for preschoolers because it helps develop their creativity and improves their hand-eye coordination. Studies on the emergence of reading and writing in China have been conducted since the 1990s. These studies are based on the Western pinyin writing system and aim to examine the development of literacy skills in children. The goal is to explore the manifestation of reading and writing skills in children and their ability to develop these skills. This study aims to develop and design calligraphy teaching materials for preschool children in Anshan City, China, by incorporating cultural elements unique to the region. Materials and Methods: The study lasted 12 weeks, during which time 50 preschoolers were observed and their activities recorded using a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods, including content and text analysis and user experience research methods. Valid data were generated for analysis. Results: The research suggests that introducing Spring Festival couplets in writing education can help preschool children understand regional culture and encourage them to learn. This can make a significant contribution to calligraphy education for preschool children, which has not been explored before. To improve the calligraphic ability and interest of preschool children, an innovative approach based on educational technology can be used to develop and design calligraphy teaching materials. The effectiveness and feasibility of these materials can be validated through their use in the learning of calligraphy for preschool children in Anshan City, providing new teaching tools for calligraphy education in the city. This can serve as a reference for calligraphy education for preschool children and promote innovation in the field. Conclusion: The study explored the current state of calligraphy art education for preschoolers in Anshan City. Results revealed that there are some issues such as lack of engaging content and teaching methods. Questionnaires and interviews showed that preschoolers are interested in calligraphy, but there is a need for better resources and teaching methods. An experiment was conducted in two kindergartens to compare a new calligraphy education model with traditional methods. Preliminary results suggest that the new model improved children's calligraphy knowledge, skills, interest, and creativity. However, further research is needed for more accurate findings. The conclusion suggests that calligraphy teaching materials for preschool children should take into account their cognitive development and educational needs.

Research on the Current Status and Problems of the Bilingual Education for Preschool Children in China

With the development of world economic integration, the number of bilinguals is gradually increasing. Nowadays, bilingual education for preschool children has become one of the most important research topics. The feasibility and superiority of bilingual education for preschool children have been confirmed by existing studies. However, the bilingual education for preschool children in China is relatively inadequate. Therefore, on account of three aspects: parents, kindergarten, and government, this paper analyses the current status and problems of bilingual education for preschool children in China and puts forward possibly effective recommendations separately based on Chinese actual conditions. This paper points out that there are some problems in the bilingual education for preschool children in China, such as the inadequate knowledge and vague expectations leading to blind selections in parents, insufficient qualified teachers and unscientific teaching activities in kindergartens, and negligent supervision and minor policies in government. This paper suggests that parents should increase their knowledge and conduct scientific family education, kindergartens should improve their teachers and organize scientific teaching activities, and government should strengthen the supervision and support the introduction of policies and academic research.
