Project implementation

Stage I. Organizational (preparatory).

Organization of successful work on environmental education of children

is impossible without determining the initial level of environmental ideas in older preschoolers.

The work methodology we developed included the following conditions for its implementation:

– diagnostics were carried out in natural conditions with comparative

homogeneity of the composition of children in groups;

– the research was conducted on material whose content

corresponds to the objectives of the educational process in preschool educational institutions;

– in the group, diagnostic classes were conducted by one teacher.

Parents of older preschoolers were offered the questionnaire “Environmental education of children” to identify the parents’ attitude to the relevance of the topic of ecology, environmental problems, environmental protection, rational use of natural resources, and environmental education of children of older preschool age. As a result, it turned out that the majority of parents know what ecology is and what it does, they love animals, birds, have plants and animals at home, have a positive attitude towards nature, only 10% of the parents in the group introduce their children to the rules of behavior in nature.

The results obtained showed that almost all parents have a low level of environmental knowledge.

23 preschoolers from the “Bells” group took part in the primary sample.

The main goal of this stage of work was to determine the initial level of ecological ideas about the patterns and interrelations of natural phenomena, the unity of living and inanimate nature, the interaction and interdependence of nature, society and man among older preschoolers.

We determined the level of development of environmental concepts in children of senior preschool age using a number of tasks that were carried out individually with each child:

Task 1. “Determination of the characteristic features of representatives of the animal world,” the main goal of which is to determine the level of knowledge of the characteristic features of representatives of the animal world.

Task 2. “Determination of the characteristic features of the plant world,” the purpose of which is to determine the level of knowledge of the characteristic features of the plant world.

Task 3. “Determination of the characteristic features of inanimate nature,” the main goal of which is to determine the level of knowledge of the characteristic features of inanimate nature.

Task 4. “Knowledge of the seasons”, the purpose of which is to determine the level of knowledge of the seasons.

Task 5. “Ecological attitude towards the natural world”, the purpose of which is to determine the level of environmentally correct attitude towards the natural world.

We have identified 3 levels of environmental ideas among preschoolers (see Table 1)

Table 1.

Levels of ecological ideas in older preschoolers

The results of the primary survey showed that almost all older preschoolers have a poor understanding of the patterns and interrelations of natural phenomena, the unity of living and inanimate nature, the interaction and interdependence of nature, society and humans. The work carried out allows us to conclude that environmental education of preschool children is currently incomplete, and environmental activities are a rare phenomenon in the activities of children. The data obtained indicate that it is necessary to change the approach to environmental education of children in preschool educational institutions.

At the preparatory stage, we studied and selected program and methodological material, updated and supplemented the content of the subject-development environment, created a card index of games, experiences and experiments on the topic of ecology.

We diversified the educational and artistic literature corner: children and their parents brought children’s encyclopedias, magazines about wild animals, and illustrations.

We studied and played new mini-games, put together puzzles, played educational games: “Zoological Lotto”, “Find a Pair”, “Homeland of Animals”, “Animals”, “Good Friends”, etc.

We got acquainted with the Red Book through watching the presentation “The Main Book of Nature”, colored the coloring pages “Animal from the Red Book of Russia”, and drew according to the theme: “My favorite animal”.

There was also an information corner for parents on the topic: “Environmental education of preschool children”, “Earth Day”. Conversations were held with parents about the need to visit the zoo.

Stage II. Practical “We are explorers”

Stage III. Final (project result)

• Exhibition of drawings “My favorite animal from the Red Book”.
• Creation of a mini-library “Books about nature”.
• Exhibition of environmental signs and drawings “Let's protect nature together.”
• Photo exhibition of family visits to the petting zoo.
• Viewing the presentation “Our Red Book”.
• Control monitoring of environmental education.
• Preparation and holding of the final complex thematic event with the participation of parents “They need our protection.”

Parents of older preschoolers were again offered the questionnaire “Environmental Education of Children” to identify parents’ attitudes to the relevance of the topic of ecology, environmental problems, environmental protection, rational use of natural resources, and environmental education of older preschool children at the end of the project. As a result, it turned out that most of the parents know what ecology is and what it does, they love animals, birds, have plants and animals at home, and have a positive attitude towards nature. The percentage of parents who introduce children to the rules of behavior in nature has increased from the initial level (10%) to 45%.

The results obtained showed that almost all parents' level of environmental knowledge increased from low to average level. The results of the final cross-section showed that the children learned what the Red Book is, the children formed an idea about the flora and fauna of their native land, as well as about nature in different natural zones. The children understood why some animals disappear from the earth and who is to blame. The joint activities of parents and children enriched the communication between them and brought joy.

The project “Acquaintance with the Red Book” was a striking example of the interaction of all participants in the educational process: children, parents, teachers. Partnerships have been established with parents. Work experience presented to colleagues.

Working with parents:

The project involves active interaction with parents. This includes preparing material about selected animals, watching video materials and educational programs about animals on children’s channels with children in their leisure time, selecting and reading environmental literature, participating in promotions and project events, joint excursions with children to the petting zoo, and participating in a diagnostic study. The participation of parents in project activities makes it possible to increase the psychological and pedagogical competence of parents in matters of child-parent relations and the culture of interpersonal interaction between children in the group.

Parents of the students expressed a desire to receive consultations on the topic: “What sanctions apply to citizens for disrupting red book plants.”

Parents were unable to choose one most effective method of interaction with teachers during the project. Respondents identified the variability of methods as equally important: memos, consultations, joint creativity competitions, multimedia presentations, a creative living room for parents.

Relevance of the project:

In accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard for Additional Education, the priority direction was “Cognitive Development”. The content of the project is based on the principle of integrativeness (social and communicative development, cognitive development, speech development, artistic and aesthetic development).

The creation of the project was prompted by the following motivational questions when looking at a map of the Krasnodar region, photographs of animals, the presentation “Plants and Animals of the Kuban”; in the created communication situation, the teacher asks questions: “Do you know where these animals live and plants grow?”, “What are they known for?” these animals and plants?”, “Where else can you find such animals?”, “Where can you see such plants, what are they for?” and so on. One of the most serious manifestations of the global environmental problem is the rapid decline in the numbers of many species of plants and animals. Some species have already disappeared irrevocably from the face of the Earth, others are on the verge of extinction. The death of animals and plants marked the path of human development.

The relevance of our project was that one of the most serious manifestations of the global environmental problem is the rapid decline in the numbers of many species of plants and animals. Some species have already disappeared irrevocably from the face of the Earth, others are on the verge of extinction. The death of animals and plants marked the path of human development. Harm to nature does not go unnoticed. As a result of the disappearance of plants and animals, acid rain, an increase in the number of toxic landfills, etc., the Earth is increasingly losing its vitality. The main responsibility for this lies with the individual. He is also the main victim of this process. That's why thousands of organizations around the world are trying to improve the living environment.

We determined the goal of the project - to introduce children to the Red Book as a state document and its significance; To form in children environmental knowledge, a caring attitude towards nature and everything around them.

First stage

Creating Motivation

Formulation of the research question

A student in our group brought the encyclopedia “The Red Book of the Krasnodar Territory” to the group, the guys became interested and began to look at it. And the guys had a lot of questions about “What is the Red Book”, “Why exactly these animals are listed in the Red Book”, etc.

Then other children and the teacher are included in the discussion, who help formulate the research question that arose among the preschoolers : “What animals live in the Kuban and are listed in the Red Book.”

Thus, the topic of the educational project was initiated by the preschoolers themselves.

Second phase

Filling out the “Three Questions Model”

Implementation of a project by an enterprising child

In accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard for Education, before starting the project, children were asked to answer three questions (fill out the “Three Question Model”):

After the discussion, the children began searching for information:

Third stage

Started implementing the project (Together with the children and parents, we began collecting books and encyclopedias and designed a mini library “The Red Book of the Krasnodar Territory”

Project presentation

The presentation of the project took place in a group in the presence of a teacher and children of senior preschool age. The teacher placed the pages of her project on a magnetic board and arranged them in the correct sequence. Then she told about the work done, showing relevant illustrations, photographs, and drawings.

After the discussion, the children began searching for information:

• conducted a survey of family members, friends and shared the survey results with peers and kindergarten teachers:

— Darina O.: “My mother and I were looking at the encyclopedia.”

— Emilia: “My mother Marina Nikolaev counts and told me about interesting animals listed in the Red Book

— Plato F. “Mom and I went to the library. There are a lot of books there. From them I learned that there are many beautiful and rare plants in Kuban.”

Fourth stage

Collaborative planning

Implementation of a group project with the aim of enhancing, consolidating and systematizing knowledge about rare animals from the Red Book.

The children in the group became very interested in the project, and then a joint decision was made to implement the group project “The Red Book”. In order to consolidate and systematize the results obtained during the presentation of the project, a joint plan for working on a group project was created. Children, teachers and parents made their suggestions.

All points of the joint plan were implemented

The children were especially interested in the presentation, as well as viewing and reading books: “Children’s Encyclopedia about Rare Animals”, “Amazing Stories”. Preschoolers examined, compared, discussed, and asked adults.

The teacher invited the children to draw drawings of animals and coloring pages.

Fifth stage

Final

The final event of the project was the quiz “What do we know about the Red Book” with the participation of children. Quiz participants demonstrated their knowledge about animals, their lives and habitats in the environment.

We held a competition for the best drawing. The winners were presented with an award.

Next, the teacher and the children analyzed the implementation of the joint plan for working on the project, noting the merits of each, and answering questions.

Questions for children

: - Will you now be able to answer the question “What is the Red Book? How is it listed in the Red Book?” What else have you learned? How and where will you use your knowledge?

Questions for parents: -

What do you think the children learned? What did you learn? Which plan activities were the most successful? What can you do better next time?

The teacher analyzed the results of the project:
