What is cognitive development?
What are the features of the cognitive development of modern preschoolers?
Childhood is an unforgettable, interesting time. It's time for searches, research, questions, experiments. It's time to ask why. This is what we call loving children who eagerly seek answers to the questions that torment them. The world opens up to the child through his personal sensations, actions, experiences, through his, albeit still so small, but life experience.
Today, the development of cognitive abilities and activity of preschool children is one of the pressing problems of our time.
Throughout preschool childhood, and especially in early and middle preschool age, along with play activities, cognitive activity, which involves an independent search for knowledge or under the tactful guidance of an adult in the process of cooperation, becomes of great importance for the development of the child.
Cognitive development involves the development of children's interests, curiosity and cognitive motivation; formation of cognitive actions, formation of consciousness; development of imagination and creative activity; the formation of primary ideas about oneself, other people, objects of the surrounding world, about the properties and relationships of objects of the surrounding world (shape, color, size, material, sound, rhythm, tempo, quantity, number, part and whole, space and time, movement and rest , causes and consequences, etc.), about the small homeland and Fatherland, ideas about the socio-cultural values of our people, about domestic traditions and holidays, about planet Earth as the common home of people, about the peculiarities of its nature, the diversity of countries and peoples of the world.
One of the main principles of preschool education is the formation of cognitive interests and cognitive actions of the child in various types of activities. This understanding of the cognitive development of preschool children suggests viewing it as a process of gradual transition from one stage of development of cognitive activity to another.
We will include the following stages of cognitive development: curiosity, inquisitiveness, development of cognitive interest, development of cognitive activity.
Let's look at each of the stages in more detail.
1. We consider curiosity to be the first stage. It is characterized by a selective attitude towards any subject, conditioned by purely external aspects and circumstances that are often suddenly revealed to the child. At this stage, the preschooler is content with only the initial orientation associated with the interestingness of the subject itself; entertainment as a factor in the discovery of cognitive interest usually serves as its initial impetus. As an example of the manifestation of curiosity in a preschooler, we can cite the fact that at 2–3 years old a child focuses on the brightness of an object, without paying much attention to its essence.

1. The teacher tells Natasha’s mother (6 years old) that the girl really likes to help adults. — Probably, at home you teach your child to do everything with you. This is very good - she will be your assistant. - Yes. My daughter has a very great desire to help me. Whatever work I take on, it’s right there. But what help is it? One obstacle. I send her for a walk, without her I can quickly manage the housework. And don’t stand on ceremony with her. There is no point in disturbing adults. Comment on the situation. What advice do you have for your mother? 2. Seeing that Vadik is going to draw in his free time, the teacher asks: “What are you going to draw and with what?” — How will you arrange the drawing on a sheet of paper? —What will you draw first, and what then? Reminds you that after drawing you need to put everything back in its place. Question: is such adult intervention necessary in children’s independent activities?
Situations for the second team 1. In the reception room, in the presence of children, one mother says to another: “Your Seryozha draws so well.” And my Dimka has only scribbles. No matter how much I tell him to draw carefully, he draws poorly every time. — Have you tried to teach him? — I often sit Dima down to draw while I do household chores so that he doesn’t bother me. He probably doesn't have the ability. Comment on your opinion on this conversation. Is Dima's mom right? What advice do you have for this boy's mother? 2. Seryozha (4 years old) at home in response to his dad’s question “What does the teacher do in the kindergarten, how does she work?” replied that she does not work, but plays with the children, walks and studies. In the evening, the mother, who is on maternity leave to care for her second child, laughingly tells the teacher about this conversation. The teacher called Seryozha over and asked him: “What does your mother do? What is she doing?" Serezha’s answer sounded like this: “My mother doesn’t work and doesn’t do anything. She sits with her little brother, goes to the store, does laundry and cleans the apartment.” Mom asks indignantly: “How is it Seryozha? Isn’t that work?” “No, they go to work and then get tired, like dad.” What is the reason for this child’s response? What advice would you give to Seryozha’s mother?
IV competition. “How will our word respond?” 1. Representatives of one team should say the phrase “You are my sunshine” with different emotional tones, representatives of the other “Finally” (joy, surprise, regret, anger, reproach, etc.). V competition. “Tell with your eyes” Host: They console and kiss with words, You can even insult with words, They take revenge for them, And they argue, and they fight... And the conclusion?

Game - a fairy tale for the first team “Sparrow Family” “Once upon a time there lived a sparrow family in the forest: mother, father, son. Mom flew off to catch midges and feed the family. And dad, the sparrow, strengthened the house with twigs and insulated it with moss. The son also helped his father, and with this he always showed off to his friends. He tried to prove to everyone that he was the most dexterous and strong. And with those who did not agree with him, the sparrow quarreled and even fought. One day, mom and dad flew to the nest, but their son was not there. They were waiting for him for lunch, but the little sparrow did not arrive. His parents began to worry that the cats had eaten him. Papa Sparrow was angry and grumbled, and Mom even cried. After all, she thought that something had happened to her son. And my son quarreled with his friends. The disheveled little sparrow finally flew to his parents. And the sparrow family had a serious conversation. Little Sparrow had to admit that he was bragging and fighting. The son told his parents how he wanted to prove to everyone how grown up he was. Sparrow explained that he would really like his parents to be proud of him as their strongest son. But instead of joy and pride, he saw sadness in their eyes. Sparrow asked for forgiveness. And his parents forgave him. They fed their son delicious food and, stroking his feathers, affectionately explained that they loved him very much, and for them he was the most dexterous and strong sparrow in the whole forest.”
2. Game - a fairy tale for the second team “Naughty horse” “Once upon a time there was a horse who really loved to kick and be capricious. Her mother says to her: “Eat some fresh herbs, daughter.” “I don’t want to, I won’t,” the horse shouts and kicks its legs. Dad persuades the horse: “Go for a walk, play in the sun!” “I don’t want to, I won’t go,” the horse answers and kicks again. Mom and dad couldn’t persuade their stubborn daughter, so they left her at home and went out on business. The horse thought, thought, and went for a walk alone. And a cunning gray wolf meets her. The wolf says to the horse: “Don’t go, horse, far into the forest, you’re still small.” The horse is stubborn again: “I’m not little, I go wherever I want!” And that’s what the wolf needed. He waited until the horse entered the very thick of the forest and pounced on it from behind. Horse, let's kick. First, she hit the wolf hard with one leg, then with the other leg. And then she started kicking with both legs together so much that the wolf ran away, and no one saw him there anymore. The horse stopped being stubborn and capricious, grew up and now works in the circus, kicks its legs, throws balls high to the delight of the audience. And he’s no longer capricious.” VI Captain Competition Presenter: Before us are 2 captains, two experienced teachers. Find a way out of an extreme situation.
