1. Dear colleagues!
In the Federal state requirements for the structure of the basic general education program preschool education one of points 3.5. the planned results of children's mastering the Basic General Education Program of preschool education are described; these are the integrative qualities of a child that he can acquire as a result of mastering the Program, i.e., a portrait of a kindergarten graduate.
Here are some of them:
Curious, active. He is interested in the new, unknown in the world around him (the world of objects and things, in the world of relationships and his inner world). Asks questions to adults, likes to experiment. Able to act independently (in Everyday life, V various types children's activities). If you have any difficulties, seek help from an adult. Takes a lively and interested part in educational process;
Capable of solving intellectual and personal problems (problems appropriate to age. The child can apply independently acquired knowledge and methods of activity to solve new problems (problems posed by both adults and himself; regardless of the situation, he can transform ways of solving problems (problems). The child is able to propose his own idea and translate it into a building, drawing, story, etc.
The question arises:
"How to raise a child today as a human being tomorrow? What knowledge should I give him on the road? "
Understanding this issue should occur through awareness of a dramatically changed social order: yesterday a performer was needed, and today a creative person with an active life position, with his own logical thinking.
The main element, the structural unit of key competence is skill, i.e., a method of performing actions mastered by a child, provided by the totality of acquired knowledge. It makes it possible to perform actions not only in familiar, but also in changed conditions. In my opinion, problem-based learning technology, aimed primarily at ensuring that the child independently obtains knowledge and learns to independently apply it in solving new cognitive problems, allows such skills to be effectively developed.
Rubenstein S.L. said that “Thinking usually begins with a problem or question, with a contradiction. The problem situation determines the involvement of the individual in the thinking process. There are unknown, seemingly unfilled places in the problem. To fill them, to transform the unknown into the known, appropriate knowledge and methods of activity are required, which a person initially lacks.”
So what is the problem?
A problem is a real difficulty on the way to achieving and performing any activity. A problematic situation is a state of mental difficulty in children caused by the insufficiency of their previously acquired knowledge and methods of activity to solve a cognitive task, task or educational problem. In other words, a problem situation is a situation in which a subject wants to solve problems that are difficult for him, but he lacks data and must look for it himself.
A problematic situation in its psychological structure has not only an objective-substantive, but also a motivational, personal side (the interests of the child, his desires, needs, opportunities, etc.).
What didactic objectives are pursued by the creation of problematic situations in the educational process of preschoolers? You can point to the following:
attract the child’s attention, arouse his cognitive interest and other motives for mental activity;
put him before such a cognitive difficulty, the continuation of which would intensify mental activity;
help him identify the main problem in a cognitive task, question, task and outline a plan for finding ways out of the difficulty;
encourage the child to actively search, experimental activities;
help him identify and indicate the direction of searching for the most rational way out of a difficult situation.
Characteristic signs of a problematic educational situation:
A state of intellectual difficulty arises;
A contradictory situation arises;
There is an awareness of what the child knows and can do, and what he needs to learn to solve the problem.
There are four levels of learning problems:
1) the teacher himself poses the problem (task) and solves it himself with active listening and discussion by the children.
2) the teacher poses a problem, the children independently or under his guidance find a solution. The teacher directs the child to independently search for solutions (partial search method).
3) the child poses the problem himself, the teacher helps to solve it. The child develops the ability to independently formulate a problem.
4) the child poses the problem himself and solves it himself. The teacher does not even point out the problem: the child must see it on his own, and having seen it, formulate and explore the possibilities and ways of solving it.
Techniques, methods and means of creating a problem situation:
bring children to a contradiction and invite them to find a way to resolve it themselves;
presentation of different points of view on the same issue;
encouraging children to make comparisons, generalizations, conclusions from the situation, comparison of facts;
asking specific questions (for generalization, justification, specification, logic of reasoning);
formulation of problematic tasks.
Stages of the problem solving process
situations:
1) searching for means of analyzing the conditions of the problem using leading questions with the updating of previous knowledge: “what do we need to remember to solve our question?”, “what can we use from what we know to solve the problem?”
2) the process of solving a problem. It consists in the discovery of new, previously unknown connections and relationships between the elements of the problem, i.e. putting forward hypotheses, searching for a key, an idea for a solution. The child looks for solutions “in external conditions”, in various sources of knowledge.
3) proof and testing of the hypothesis, implementation of the ideas of the solution found. This means performing some operations related to practical activities.
The teacher does not seek to convince the child and impose new knowledge (this is the fundamental difference between problem-based learning).
He listens carefully to all objections
Encourages independent judgment and active discussion, which is very important: listens to all the children’s assumptions, thanks them for their active participation and gradually leads them to the thought “What can be done to make sure of this?”
2. GCD fragment
The teacher shows me a bowl of peas and asks: “How can I find out how many peas are there?” Most often, children offer to weigh. “That’s right,” says the teacher, “but I don’t have scales. How else can you find out? There is a glass, cup, spoon and saucer on the table. I point to them: “Maybe these items will help us?” Most likely, children will say that you can measure peas with a glass, cup, or spoon.
I explain: “I’ll show you how to do it. Let's try measuring peas with a glass. But first we need to agree on how we will pour it.” I show that the glass can be filled halfway, to the brim, with a “heap”. Children choose one of the options, for example full to the brim. I show this glass of peas and say: “This is our measure - a glass full to the brim. Today, when we measure, we must make sure that the glass is full to the brim, because we agreed so.”
Then I pour the peas from the glass into an empty bowl or plate, preferably transparent. And in order not to lose count, I suggest that children, every time we pour peas out of a glass, put down objects for memory.
After all the peas are measured, I ask if it is possible to find out how many full cups of peas were in the bowl. Children offer to count the objects that they put aside when measuring. After counting them, it turns out that there are five glasses in the bowl.
To demonstrate the measurement, it is best to use transparent dishes so that you can see how the amount of peas (water) decreases in one container and increases in another.
Before measuring, I draw the children’s attention to the fact that it is necessary to agree on the completeness of the measure, i.e. its fullness. I emphasize that you can choose any filling (up to a strip, with a “heap”, half a glass). Once the completeness of the measure has been determined (we have agreed on how we will fill the glass or spoon), this condition must be strictly followed.
“Today in class we agreed to pour half a glass. Half a glass is our measure; we took half a glass as a unit of measurement. When measuring, we can only pour this way.” (I demonstrate the completeness of the measure and attach a ribbon that will allow the completeness of the measure to be observed.)
To prevent children from getting the wrong idea that cereals (or liquids) can only be measured with a glass, I show the children other objects: a cup, a saucer, a spoon - and suggest they try measuring with these measures.
3. Simulation
Dear colleagues! And now I suggest you come up with problem situations Topic: “Transport” (For example, animals in Africa ask Aibolit for help, but Aibolit doesn’t know how to get to them)
Topic: “Houses”, “Properties of Materials”
(The piglets want to build a strong house to hide from the wolf and do not know what material to make it from.)
Topic: “Mushrooms” (Dunno calls the children into the forest to pick mushrooms, but does not know which mushrooms are edible and which are not.)
5.Conclusion
Dear colleagues, I showed you the organization of problem-based learning through solving problem situations with older children preschool age.
Problem-based learning is aimed at developing preschoolers’ thinking and communication skills in children, so this technology is based on children’s communication with each other and with adults.
Advantages of problem-based learning:
The teacher is an equal partner;
Children are independent and proactive;
Children themselves discover new knowledge and ways of acting;
Children discuss the problem, find ways to solve it;
Children negotiate and communicate
The use of problem-based learning contributes to the realization of children's need for cognition, as well as the formation of communication skills in preschoolers.
Upon completion of the master class, participants receive booklets and reminders.
In modern conditions, a person is required not only to possess knowledge, but also to be able to obtain this knowledge himself, and therefore the use of problem-based learning becomes promising. How often do we encounter the constraint of children's thinking, the desire to think according to ready-made schemes, and to receive these schemes from an adult. Children are afraid to make mistakes when performing a particular task.
We hypothesized that the use of problem-based learning in working with preschoolers will have a positive effect on the development of children's creative thinking, cognitive skills and abilities. Rubinstein S.L.: “Thinking usually begins with a problem or question, with a contradiction. This problematic situation determines the involvement of the individual in the thinking process. There are unknown, seemingly unfilled places in the problem. To fill them, to transform the unknown into the known, appropriate knowledge and methods of activity are required, which a person initially lacks.”
A problematic situation is a state of mental difficulty in children caused by the insufficiency of their previously acquired knowledge and methods of activity to solve a cognitive task, task or educational problem. In other words, a problem situation is a situation in which a subject wants to solve problems that are difficult for him, but he lacks data and must look for it himself.
Characteristic signs of problem-based learning:
- a state of intellectual difficulty arises;
- a contradictory situation arises;
- there is an awareness of what the child knows and can do and what he needs to learn to solve the problem;
- a problematic situation can arise at the stage of solving a problem, and sometimes at the very beginning of the solution.
A problematic situation does not always become a problem for a child. We can talk about this phenomenon only if children have shown interest in this problem. It depends on the skill of the teacher whether the children will be interested in new material, presented as a problem, or not. The goal of the teacher is to encourage the child to search the right decision the problem posed.
There are four levels of learning problems:
1. The teacher himself poses the problem (task) and solves it himself with active listening and discussion by the children.
2. The teacher poses a problem, the children independently or under his guidance find a solution. The teacher directs the child to independently search for solutions (partial search method).
3. The child poses a problem, the teacher helps to solve it. The child develops the ability to independently formulate a problem.
4. The child poses the problem himself and solves it himself. The teacher does not even point out the problem: the child must see it on his own, and when he sees it, formulate and explore the possibilities and ways to solve it. (Research method)
As a result, the ability to independently analyze a problem situation and independently find the correct answer is developed.
In one case, the teacher can conduct the search himself with the help of the children. Having posed the problem, the teacher reveals the way to solve it, reasons with the children, makes assumptions, discusses them with the children.
In another case, the role of the teacher may be minimal - he gives children the opportunity to completely independently look for ways to solve problems.
The teaching method associated with children’s independent search and discovery of certain truths is called problem-heuristic methods.
Solving problem situations in the classroom has become widespread in working with children in our group.
The problem situation is created by the teacher using certain techniques, methods and means. When creating and solving problem situations, we use the following: methodological techniques:
– we bring children to a contradiction and invite them to find a way to resolve it themselves;
– we present different points of view on the same issue;
– we encourage children to make comparisons, generalizations, conclusions from the situation, and compare facts;
– we pose specific questions (for generalization, justification, specification, logic of reasoning), heuristic questions;
– we identify problematic theoretical and practical tasks (for example, research);
– we pose problematic tasks.
The first stage of the problem solving process is the search for means of analyzing the conditions of the problem, updating previous knowledge and methods of action using leading questions: “What do we need to remember to solve our question?”, “What can we use from what we know to find the unknown?” A.M. Matyushkin, - this stage is characterized by the confusion of the child, who has exhausted all known ways to solve the problem and has not found the right way. There comes a rejection of known solutions.
At the second stage, the process of solving the problem occurs. It consists of discovering new, previously unknown connections and relationships between elements of the problem, i.e. putting forward hypotheses, searching for a “key”, ideas for a solution. At the second stage of the solution, the child searches “in external conditions”, in various sources of knowledge.
The third stage of solving a problem is proving and testing the hypothesis, implementing the solution found. In practice, this means performing certain operations related to practical activities, performing calculations, and building a system of evidence to justify a decision.
In an effort to maintain children's interest in new topic, we are creating a new problematic situation. By creating problematic situations, we encourage children to put forward hypotheses, draw conclusions, and teach them not to be afraid to make mistakes. According to A.M. Matyushkin, the fear of making a mistake fetters the child’s initiative in posing and solving intellectual problems. “Afraid of making a mistake, he will not solve the problem himself - he will strive to get help from an all-knowing adult.” It is very important that the child gets a taste for receiving new, unexpected information about the objects and phenomena around him.
Lesson on speech development using problem-based learning technology
Subject:"Familiar Stranger"
Program content:
- Continue to teach children to come up with riddles with elements of description, comparison and description.
- Introduce children to a new way of word formation in the process of solving a problem situation.
- To consolidate children's knowledge of word formation methods: by adding a noun with a noun, using augmentative, diminutive, diminutive suffixes.
- Exercise in the selection of definitions, synonyms, in the coordination of adjectives and nouns, develop interest in the etymology of the word.
- Develop intonation expressiveness of speech.
PROGRESS OF THE CLASS
A chest is brought into the group.
Educator:
– Do you want to know what’s in the chest? We need to come up with a clear saying:
Chok-chok-chok-open... (chest)
The chest opens and the children discover autumn leaves.
- Guys, autumn left autumn leaves as a reminder of itself. What are they? (Multi-colored, motley, crimson...)
– What else has autumn pleased us with? (Beauty, leaf fall, vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, i.e. harvest).
“Guys, there’s still something in the chest.” This letter. Who wrote this letter to us? Let's open it and read it: “Hello, guys! I want to tell you a story. One day the boys Misha and Kostya went to the forest and found a lot of mushrooms in the birch forest. Misha picked a mushroom and was delighted: “What a find! How many birch mushrooms!”
“No, this is a birch tree,” said Kostya. The boys began to argue which of them was right. Misha claims that he is right, that the mushroom is called “birch”. And Kostya says that he is right, that the mushroom should be called “birch tree”. They argued and argued that they even quarreled. They still didn’t understand which of them was right, what exactly and correctly this mushroom is called. Maybe you can figure this story out?
Your old friend is the Sorceress Autumn.”
Heuristic questions:
- Guys, what did you hear now?
– When did this story happen? Where?
– What did the boys name the same mushroom? (Birch, birch)
– What happened between the boys? Why? (They have a problem: they don’t know the name of the mushroom)
– Can we help them? Will we be able to reconcile them?
– How can we solve the problem that has arisen between Misha and Kostya?
- How to do this, in what way? (You need to find out the exact and correct name of the mushroom that grows in the birch forest).
- Let's look into this problem and help the boys. After all, the problem of boys is now our problem.
– First, let's look at the diagram.
– What do we know about the formation of words?
– How are words formed?
- From what word can we form the word we need - the name of a mushroom if it grows in a birch forest?
Search: (scheme is used)
– Let’s talk about what this mushroom is more accurately and correctly called.
– Have you ever thought about where mushrooms got their names from?
– It turns out that chanterelles look like a sister chanterelle, and saffron milk caps got their name because both the cap and the stem of this mushroom are bright red.
Honey fungus got its name because it grows on stumps and the word “honey agaric” was formed from the word “stump”, “stump”.
Finger gymnastics “This finger”
This finger went into the forest
This finger found a mushroom
I began to clean this finger,
This finger began to fry,
This finger ate everything
That's why I got fat.
- Now let's get back to our mushroom.
– Where does the mushroom grow in relation to the birch? (Show picture)
- Near the birch, near the birch, under the birch.
– What word can we form using the particle “about” and the word? (Okoloberezovik)
Similarly: uberezovik, boletus.
- Guys, we made a discovery - it turns out that words can still be formed using particles in front of the word. You and I are discoverers.
– We got three names for the mushroom. Which one is correct? Who can tell us? How can we know? (Adults, vocabulary)
Dictionary check: boletus.
“The mushroom that grows under the birch tree is boletus. The boletus tree is similar to the “slender” birch tree, like the white-trunked birch tree. They say about him: “This fungus is the son of a birch tree.” The trunk of the beautiful birch is decorated with black dots, and the boletus has a white leg painted with dark scales.” (Show picture)
- Guys, did we help the boys? Have we solved their problem?
“We will definitely inform them of our decision.”
Physical education session with elements of relaxation
Calm, quiet music is turned on.
– Friendship not only in our group, but also among plants is also highly valued.
For example, mushrooms and trees are very friendly with each other. Let's imagine ourselves as little boletus mushrooms that are about to appear under the birch trees. A warm ray fell to the ground and warmed the small mushroom. A mushroom basks in the sun, exposing first one side, then the other. And from a small mushroom a beautiful, proud boletus grew, looking like an open umbrella.
Purely speaking:
Shu-shu-shu -
I rustle the leaves.
Su-su-su -
There are mushrooms in the forest under the leaves.
Game "Magic Paths"
Exercise: Clap your hands once if you hear words that match the word “boletus” and twice if you hear words that
suitable for the word "birch".
- What boletus?
-What birch tree?
Exercise: Write a sentence using these words.
(Under a slender, white-trunked birch tree grows a tasty, healthy, appetizing boletus)
– Do you like to solve riddles?
-Who comes up with them?
– Do you want to come up with a riddle about the boletus?
– Let’s remember what words we came up with for the word “boletus.”
-What is he like?
– Where does it grow?
– What special does he have?
-What does it look like?
– Let’s make a riddle with the negation “but not”:
What is this? (Boletus mushroom)

Solving problem situations as a method of increasing cognitive activity child
Modern children live in the era of information civilization and new computer technologies. The development of the ability to think independently is of particular value today and is especially important for teachers. question: “How to raise a child today? What knowledge should I give him on the road?” Understanding this issue should occur through the realization that today we need a creative person with active life position, with his own logical thinking. Therefore, it is necessary to “teach a child to doubt.” The child must be taught to doubt the truth of knowledge and the means of obtaining it. A child may hear and not remember, or he may observe, compare, ask, make a suggestion.
Remember the famous Chinese saying:
What I heard, I forgot.
I remember what I saw.
What I did, I KNOW.
Everything is assimilated firmly and for a long time when the child hears, sees and does it himself.
Completing any task requires targeted efforts from the child, which must be developed and formed long before school. Since the success of learning is determined not by the stock of concepts acquired by children in the preschool period (knowledge of letters, ability to read, count, etc.), but by the level of development of mental operations, the child’s experience of independent problem resolution.
IN practice we use various methods for increasing children's cognitive activity: problematic issues, educational games, etc., but not always created search situation, not given the opportunity to open up to kid, and children remain passive observers, therefore, there is a need to use solutions to problem situations.
Usage problem situations in working with preschoolers has a positive effect on development creative thinking, And increasing the child’s cognitive activity.
Rubenstein S.L. said: “Thinking usually begins with problem or question, with contradictions. Problem situation the involvement of the individual in the thought process is determined. IN there are unknowns to the problem, as if unfilled places. To fill them, to transform the unknown into the known, appropriate knowledge and methods of activity are needed, which a person initially lacks.”
Problem situation- a state of mental difficulty in children caused by the insufficiency of their previously acquired knowledge and methods of activity for solving a cognitive problem, assignments or educational Problems. In other words, a problem situation is a situation like this, in which the subject wants to solve problems that are difficult for him, but he lacks data and must look for it himself.
A problematic situation arises when a teacher deliberately confronts children’s life ideas (or the level they have reached) With scientific facts, which they cannot explain, arises difficulty: lack of knowledge, life experience.
Already encounters with difficulty, the impossibility of completing the proposed task using existing knowledge and methods gives rise to the need for new knowledge. This need is the main condition for the emergence problematic situation and one of its main components.
Each new knowledge reveals little-known aspects to the child cognizable object, arouses interest in a question, a guess. Activity thinking and the preschooler’s interest in the issue being studied arises in problematic situation, even the teacher poses the problem. Such situations are created by the teacher using certain techniques, methods and means. When creating and solving problem situations we apply the following methodological techniques:
– we bring children to a contradiction and invite them to find a way to solve it themselves
permissions;
– we present different points of view on the same issue;
– we encourage children to make comparisons, generalizations, conclusions from situations,
compare facts;
– we pose specific questions (for generalization, justification, specification, logic of reasoning, heuristic questions;
– we define problematic theoretical and practical tasks(For example,
research);
- we put problematic tasks.
Sometimes you can make a mistake - let the children notice the mistake and correct it. Important
instill in children an interest in other people's opinions. And don't forget about joke: she
activates thought, puzzles children. Unexpected entertaining tricks awaken them to think. Especially, such techniques are needed for children with insufficient working capacity. (restless): they mobilize their attention and volitional efforts.
The first stage of the process problem solving considered a search for analysis tools Problems with updating previous knowledge and methods actions: “What do we need to remember for solution to our issue?» , “What can we use that we know to find the unknown?” A. M. Matyushkin, - this stage is characterized by the confusion of the child, who has exhausted all the methods known to him problem solving and not finding the right way. Known methods are abandoned solutions.
At the second stage the process takes place problem solving. It consists in the discovery of new, previously unknown connections and relationships of elements Problems, i.e. putting forward hypotheses, searching "key", ideas solutions. At the second stage the child is looking for solutions"in external conditions", in various sources of knowledge.
Third stage problem solving– proof and testing of the hypothesis, implementation of what was found solutions. Practically this means performing some operations related to practical activities, with performing calculations, with building a system of evidence justifying solution.
Let's give an example: How to bring water to sieve? To do this, the teacher organizes a series of experiments with water, demonstrating how it turns into steam or ice. Children conclude that in the form of ice, water cannot pour out of the container. Problem situation can be used at the beginning of a lesson as a question or in the middle.
In an effort to maintain children's interest in a new topic, we create problematic situation. Creating problematic situations, we encourage children to put forward hypotheses, draw conclusions, teach them not to be afraid to make mistakes, because the fear of making a mistake fetters the child’s initiative in setting up and solving intellectual problems. Afraid of making a mistake, he will not solve the problem himself. problem– he will strive to get help from an all-knowing adult. It is very important that the child gets a taste for receiving new, unexpected information about the objects and phenomena around him.
