ПЕДАГОГІЧНІ УМОВИ ГОТОВНОСТІ СТУДЕНТІВ ПЕДАГОГІЧНИХ КОЛЕДЖІВ ДО ФОРМУВАННЯ ХОРЕОГРАФІЧНИХ УМІНЬ УЧНІВ МОЛОДШОГО ШКІЛЬНОГО ВІКУ

In the article, the author defines the pedagogical conditions for the readiness of students of pedagogical colleges for the formation of choreographic skills of elementary school students. Choreography as a synthetic art is a polyartistic system of development and upbringing of children based on the synthesis of music and plastic arts, integration of various types of arts (literature, music, theater, painting, poetry), which allows participants to participate in various types of artistic creativity. Dance classes at any qualitative level - perception, cognition, independent creative activity, which not only teach to understand and create beautiful, but also contribute to the development of imaginative thinking and fantasy, stimulate the spiritual forces and creative potential of the individual, provide positive energy, cheerful, self-affirming self-confidence, which in aggregate is the basis for the successful development of not only special artistic abilities, but also the general universal ability to creativity. The content of choreographic activity is motor actions and operations for mastering dance skills and abilities, which serve as the basis for creating new choreographic manifestations unique to the child. The essence of the choreographic activity of younger schoolchildren consists in dance-motor activity, during which not only special choreographic abilities are acquired and improved (elasticity of muscles and joints, plasticity and beauty of movements, inversion of legs, lightness of jumps, etc.), but also the ability to reproduce, interpret, create dance works of various types and genres. In the process of their implementation, students develop aesthetic tastes, artistic thinking, an aesthetic attitude to art, form an aesthetic culture, an aesthetic perception of the world, accumulate artistic and aesthetic knowledge, develop aesthetic feelings, judgments and skills, express the inner experiences of the child's personality, that is, reveal his individuality. The effectiveness of the process of preparation of students of pedagogical colleges for the formation of choreographic skills in elementary school students naturally depends on pedagogical conditions, to which we attributed the motivation of future specialists in the field of choreographic arts to artistic and pedagogical activities that ensure the consistent formation of their creative individuality; the introduction of innovative forms and methods of education that directly affect the readiness of students of pedagogical colleges to form choreographic skills in elementary school students and the activation of reflective activities of choreographer students regarding the possibilities of developing the artistic and creative abilities of elementary school students in the process of choreographic activity.
