Explanatory note

The teaching staff of the Skazka kindergarten purposefully and systematically works to improve the quality of education by updating its content; introduction of modern technologies that contribute to the creation of favorable conditions for self-realization of participants in the educational process of a preschool institution. The process of updating education, its design, launch and support will be the more effective the more new forms of work with the teaching staff are used. One of such effective forms is the introduction of museum technology into everyday practice. This technology has recently become very popular in the preschool education system. The main goal of museum pedagogy is to introduce the younger generation to museums and creative personal development. The rejection of modern children from domestic culture, from the socio-historical experience of generations is one of the serious problems of our time. Therefore, it is necessary to develop children’s understanding of cultural heritage and cultivate a caring attitude towards it from preschool age. It is very important to create an inspired environment around the child, to prepare the preschooler not so much informationally as emotionally for the perception of the historical past. The museum, the keeper of authentic evidence of the past, still remains a unique, indispensable guide to the world of history and culture. Undoubtedly, excursions to museums, especially family ones, have a beneficial effect on a child’s development. At the same time, it is noted that visiting museums by preschool children does not always bring the expected pedagogical effect. One of the founders of the Russian CE in the 20th century, Professor E.I. Tikheyeva, noted that it is much more useful for preschoolers when the museum itself comes to visit the child. In the latter case, one object or phenomenon is, as it were, snatched from general life and included in solving the pedagogical problems of the kindergarten. But the most important thing is that the mini-museum helps the kindergarten staff solve a wide range of pedagogical problems related to the education of children and family pedagogy: - the museum has a unique potential for social and educational work with children, helps children understand the language of things, comprehend their cultural significance and man-made nature, become indispensable assistants in studying the culture of their people, fostering patriotic feelings and creativity; -in an ordinary museum, a child is only a passive contemplator, but here he is a co-author, a creator of exhibitions. Museum pedagogy makes a child’s life more rich and interesting, raises his culture, develops his intellect, and gives him a new tool for understanding the world. An old saying goes: “Everything new is well forgotten old.” Currently, we can happily note the growing interest in the true history of our state and society as a whole.

The “Come to our Museum” project was developed by senior educator L.O. Novikova. for educators and specialists of the MKDOU Sortavala MR RK DS No. 31 “Fairy Tale”, with the aim of introducing innovative technology “museum pedagogy” into the pedagogical process. Aimed at supporting children's initiative, introducing children to the world of museums, creating conditions for the development of cognitive and creative abilities of preschool children, as well as the possibility of practical implementation of new pedagogical ideas and methods.

The relevance of the project was revealed from the analysis of monitoring of parents of pupils and teachers of preschool educational institutions:

·30% of parents of pupils have an idea of ​​a museum as a place for collecting various interesting things and objects; 42% of parents believe that a museum is needed to come and look at it, 28% - to learn something new and interesting about the exhibits, about history, about people.

Thus, we can conclude that parents of children show interest in museums, but do not have the opportunity to interact with museum exhibits on their own, explore, communicate with interesting people

·Analysis of the survey showed that 60% of teachers are ready to create a mini-museum in their group, but do not have a clear idea of ​​its role in the development of children.

There are contradictions

· between teachers’ understanding of the role of a mini-museum in the development of children’s cognitive activity and the insufficient level of professionalism of teachers in organizing cognitive, research and project activities;

· the need to develop cognitive activity and curiosity in children, including through the organization of a mini-museum, and the lack of methodological developments and a system for planning research activities;

· the need to use modern pedagogical technologies and the unpreparedness of individual teachers to improve their competence.

Problem. Lack of direction of work in preschool educational institutions on the development of cognitive and research activities in children through mini-museums.

Hypothesis. If we increase the competence of teachers in the field of modern technologies, in particular museum pedagogy, and involve them in active creative activities in organizing a mini-museum, this will allow us to systematize the work on cognitive and research activities in the field of cognitive, artistic, aesthetic, and speech development.
