Pros and cons of the Federal State Standard of Basic General Education. About the advantages of preschool education

What do you see as the pros and cons of the new education standards?

Advantages of modern preschool education.

1. Definition of preschool education as one of the levels of the general education system, which is not preparatory. Recognition of the uniqueness of this level based on the recognition of the intrinsic value of preschool childhood is a requirement for providing this level with the same socio-economic opportunities as other levels, including government funding.

2. Despite the reduction of the educational process to an educational service, enshrined in the Federal Law “On Education in the Russian Federation”, the focus of the educational program standards on psychological and pedagogical support for positive socialization and individualization, personality development of preschool children and the implementation of an individual approach to each child can be traced in full least.

3. The inclusion of the terms “social development situation” and “educational environment” in the conditions and content of the program implementation reflects the features of the organization of educational activities and the interaction between kindergarten and family.

4. Reflection in the content of the educational program of the following aspects of the educational environment for a preschool child:

  • subject-spatial developmental educational environment;
  • the nature of interaction with adults;
  • the nature of interaction with other children;
  • the child’s system of relationships to the world, to other people, to himself.

5. Formation for the teacher of the basic competencies necessary to create a social situation for the development of pupils that corresponds to the specifics of preschool age:

  • ensuring emotional well-being;
  • supporting children's individuality and initiative;
  • establishing rules of behavior and interaction in different situations;
  • building developmental education focused on the zone of proximal development of each student;
  • interaction with parents on issues of the child’s education, their direct involvement in the educational process, including through the creation of educational projects together with the family based on identifying the needs and supporting the family’s educational initiatives.

6. Justification of the need to use (or introduce) new forms of organizing the educational process related to the interaction of children with each other in pairs with each other, with parents. Such forms will contribute to the socialization of children, the formation of a positive microclimate and friendly relations among their peers.

7. Much attention is paid in the Federal State Standard of Preschool Education to supporting children's initiative and independence. At the same time, independent activity is one of the “sinking” links in our education, and not only preschool. At the same time, the main problems are associated with adults - parents, teachers, who do not know how to organize independent (free) activities, and this activity itself. There is a huge amount of work ahead on self-education in this area. Moreover, many practitioners do not even imagine how to combine the education of independence and collectivism in preschoolers.

Every parent sooner or later thinks about how to raise and educate their child. The difficulty of choosing lies in the fact that there are a huge variety of views on how and at what age to start learning. Disputes are caused by the amount of information and the order in which a child receives knowledge.

Let's look at the most popular methods of raising children under 7 years old and determine what is the primary goal in educating a child.

Preschool teaching methods

  • Waldorf pedagogy is aimed at the spiritual development of a free personality, while teaching basic knowledge in the form of reading and writing is not paid attention;
  • Maria Montessori's approach, the formation of an independent personality with an internal desire for knowledge;
  • The pedagogical approach of Cecile Lupan, the development of the individual according to her needs, when the parent helps to master what the child has shown interest in;
  • Game approach of Boris and Elena Nikitin. Development of mental and physical abilities without taking into account the development of creative potential;
  • Glen Doman and his cards. Development of encyclopedic knowledge;
  • Nikolai Zaitsev's approach, early teaching of a child to read and count;
  • A traditional method of education adopted at the state level for educating children in preschool educational institutions. Can be used by parents for home schooling based on methodological recommendations for preschool teachers.

This is just a small list of popular methods that are supported by millions of parents. The difference in approaches to the same things from different methods allows parents to choose the option of action that seems most suitable to them.

Some people think that it is not worth teaching a child to read at 2 years old, but rather teach him music; others will decide that drawing and modeling are more important than physical activity. Unfortunately, there are no ideal approaches, just as there are no identical children. Just when choosing a technique, remember that your child is unique and determine what is more important to you.

Pros and cons of various methods of raising preschool children

In order to choose the right method for teaching children, it is worth understanding the pros and cons, advantages and disadvantages of each of them.

Waldorf pedagogy or Steiner method

This technique, developed by the Austrian Rudolf Steiner at the beginning of the twentieth century, focuses on the emotional development of the child, in particular on the spiritual, biological and social development of the individual. Aimed at the independence of the individual from social restrictions, it assumes that a child studying using this method will feel at home anywhere in the world.

Waldorf school teachers must provide support in unlocking inner potential, so that already in preschool age the child can sufficiently develop those qualities that will become the basis of a mature personality. The child should be in the fairytale-like world of his fantasies for as long as possible and strive to know himself and his talents. Proponents of this theory attribute teaching complex types of knowledge - writing and reading - to the period when the child matures spiritually and a period change occurs on his biological clock. The change period takes place after the complete replacement of milk teeth with molars (12 years).

Basic principles:

  • Respect for the child and his personality. Psychological comfort comes first;
  • The basis for personal development lies in the development of aesthetic and labor skills, through which creative abilities are revealed;
  • Particular attention is paid to the study and penetration of the values ​​of the national culture, which allows the child to feel part of something larger than his family;
  • The study of the external environment occurs through an integrated approach. The child should be closer to nature. All objects around should be made of natural materials and simple shapes;
  • Training takes place in separate blocks, which are evenly divided throughout the day. The child learns the labor, creative and mental-spiritual components of human life. By dividing all educational material into “epochs”, which last approximately one month, conscious memorization of all necessary knowledge takes place.

The advantages of this method include the following points:

  • If a child has a strong humanitarian mindset, then this school is ideal for him, because... Only this technique devotes such a large amount of time to the development of creative
    potential;
  • The absence of an evaluation system allows the child not to be afraid of mistakes, which makes the process harmonious;
  • Using a wide variety of playing materials and forms of natural materials made from them.

Minuses:

  • This system is not suitable for children with pronounced mathematical abilities, because will not meet their internal needs;
  • Lack of reading and writing instruction in the preschool period does not help prepare a child for school;
  • Lack of all forms of media. Children are prohibited from television, radio and cinema.

Maria Montessori's approach

Today, Maria Montessori’s method is considered quite popular, based on the belief that a child needs to be raised and trained as a free individual capable of independently mastering the necessary skills and knowledge. The founder of this technique noticed that children by nature want to learn and absorb all the features of their culture and civilization without fatigue. By freeing the child and rewarding him with the freedom to explore, the baby will be eager to learn. Through self-motivation and self-knowledge established at an early age, lifelong learning will occur.

For this technique, special didactic material was developed, which, based on sensory, allows you to teach children. It is interesting that the creator of this technique was of the opinion that toys should be called “material”, and playing with a child “activities”. Training includes some physical exercises, activities to develop fine motor skills and speech. The child is also offered classical types of activities in the form of design and modeling, appliqué and drawing. Musical forms and educational games included. Maria Montessori suggested starting classes with children using this method from 2.5 years old.

Today, classes using minor modifications begin at 8 months of age. This approach is often condemned by adherents of the classical model, since at this age there are few opportunities to provide the child with an independent choice of activities without the direct participation of an adult.

Basic principles:

  • Non-intervention of an adult;
  • Help me do it myself;
  • Freedom to choose an activity;
  • Get interested, and the child will develop on his own.

This method, aimed at developing independence and self-discipline on the part of the child, has many supporters and opponents, but with a seemingly controversial attitude, it has its undeniable advantages and disadvantages

Pros:

  • The development of observation, discipline and independence as an important criterion for the development of a future personality;
  • Development of fine motor skills;
  • The positive impact of this technique on the development of logic and analytics. Independent search, stimulating the work of the child’s brain, develops qualities important for school learning and later life;

Minuses:

  • The system teaches only intellectual and practical skills and does not develop creative skills;
  • Lack of role-playing and outdoor games;
  • Learning in such a free environment can be a challenge when adapting to school rules.

Pedagogical approach Cecile Lupan

Early development methodology, which is aimed at establishing a close connection between the adult involved in education and training and the child. It is this connection that allows the parent to notice and understand the child’s cognitive desire in time. Based on the fact that the founder of the method believes that a child is not a vessel that needs to be filled, but a fire that needs to be kindled, the method is not aimed at teaching the child the necessary skills and knowledge, in the opinion of the parent, but at helping in learning what interests the child .

The idea is that the child himself can show what he wants to do at the moment, and it is the parent’s responsibility to see and understand the child’s desire. The technique implies that if a child is interested in any subject, then it is worth occupying his attention with broad coverage of the subject of interest. So, for example, if he points to a scarf, then allow him to develop sensory skills by giving samples of different materials.

The Cecile Lupan method is characterized by a large number of different subjects that are taught to the child. Disciplines such as geography, history, music, etc. are given to the child in accordance with his wishes, not always in the amount usual for this age. An interesting technology used in this technique is teaching a child using individual books in which he himself is the hero. Also, the training program using this method necessarily includes learning to swim from a very early age.

Basic principles of this technique:

  • Consider the child’s desire and provide him with subjects to study;
  • Parents are their child's primary teachers;
  • Classes should be stopped before the child starts to get tired. Both parents and children should feel joy from the activity. The child needs to be interested in, not patronized;
  • The child does not need to be tested;
  • Maintaining interest and developing curiosity through novelty of material and speed of presentation.

Following these principles, the methodology assumes that each parent who has chosen this approach should take from the huge amount of material offered only that which is directly suitable for his child. An important aspect in this technique is the manifestation of love and tactile contact between the child and the parent in the process of cognition.

Pros:

  • Comprehensive training of the child in the skills that interest him at the moment and to the extent that he can learn;
  • No compulsion to learn. Through a game offer or
    activities, choosing the one that interests the child at the moment.
  • Creating a warm and trusting relationship between child and parent.

Minuses:

  • Strong recommendations for early learning to swim;
  • A large amount of information offered for teaching a child when
    a parental mistake can lead to overload and denial of new knowledge in the child;
  • There are no fundamentals for socializing a child and accustoming him to a group of children.

Game approach of Boris and Elena Nikitin

The technique, developed from the experience of the Nikitins, who raised seven children, often causes controversy and conflicting reviews, but it is quite popular due to its innovative approach.

The married couple believes that in the modern world all methods are divided into two camps. In one, the techniques create the effect of a child being heavily loaded and organized, in which the latter does not have time for independent study. In the second camp, there are methods that basically contain only the child’s freedom of action, without accustoming him to classes according to certain criteria, which causes problems in further schooling.

The Nikitins have created their own approach, which, in their opinion, allows them to combine the characteristics of both types of training.

The Nikitins' technique consists of developmental and physical tasks that become more complex as they are mastered. Freedom of creativity and activity time is at the core, with adults nearby to help solve problems rather than interfere or force. If for some reason a child cannot solve a certain problem, then it should be postponed until an adult period. Great attention is paid to physical development. Hardening and exercises are introduced from the moment the baby is born. It is important for the application of this approach to have a sports corner in the house to perceive physical activity as an obligatory part of life.

This methodology is based on the following principles:

  • Closeness to nature and creativity, work and naturalness. Growing up in a sporty environment, wearing loose, comfortable clothes, close to nature;
  • No coercion from parents. Freedom of creativity and freedom to choose an activity;
  • Push in development, but do not get ahead. The parent should be not indifferent to the child’s success even in the simplest tasks;
  • Maximize the creative side of a child’s life and prepare him for growing up;

Pros:

  • Possibility of mastering by any parent and ease of application in practice;
  • Attention not only to the development of mental, but also physical abilities;
  • The approach allows you to master the rational organization of time for children and adults.

Minuses:

  • All children study according to a single program, and there is no individual approach;
  • There is practically no material for speech development, and creativity is excluded from the methodology in principle.
  • A tough approach to hardening.

Glen Doman and his cards

Glen Doman's teaching method is designed to teach children from a very early age and claims that the greatest effect can be obtained by developing the cognitive abilities of children from birth. The method is based on special cards, which are named after the creator. Doman cards are small pieces of paper with a picture and words written in large letters.

The technique is designed for children’s ability to absorb a large amount of information that will be presented through a special system. With a reasonable approach, the technique allows you to develop an inquisitive mind, stimulates the early development of speech and creates the basis for further speed reading. Harmoniously combined intellectual and physical activity makes it possible to develop cognitive abilities to a high level by the age of 6-7 years, when, according to the author of the methodology, the main learning process begins. This method also includes a set of physical exercises that should develop the child from birth, stimulating cognitive abilities.

Taking as a basis the assumption that the child’s desire for knowledge is due to the need for survival, and the absence of fatigue in childhood when comprehending new things.

The Doman technique is based on the following principles:

  • Physical activity is the foundation for the development of the intellect and body;
  • The child must learn to read at the same time as he learns to speak;
  • Mathematics is the basis for future intelligence, and learning should come from learning a real number, not a number;
  • Cultivating encyclopedic knowledge from all possible areas of human life from a very early age.

Pros:

  • Children develop a large base of information;
  • Visual memory and physical abilities are trained;
  • Correct application of the technique helps parents and children spend a lot of time together, which has a beneficial effect on the child’s development.

Minuses:

  • Learning to read according to Doman involves memorizing the entire word; there is no teaching of letters and sounds;
  • The technique provides a large amount of information, but does not develop the ability to use it.

Methodology of Nikolai Zaitsev

One of the most popular methods in post-Soviet countries, created by innovative teacher Nikolai Zaitsev. A peculiarity of the method of education and training, which is based on teaching reading and speaking using a system of cubes. Unlike classic cubes, not letters are drawn on the sides, but syllables. The choice of teaching reading through the use of syllables is explained by the creator of this technique.

Nikolai Zaitsev claims that a child learns to speak not in individual letters, but in syllables. This feature confirms the fact that the smallest unit of a word for a child will not be a letter, but a syllable. Based on this, in order to easily memorize and understand the reading system, a child needs to be taught syllables. The cubes also vary in size, color and filling. They allow you to teach not only reading, but also the basics of phonetic hearing.

This technique is recommended to be used at an early age, even when the child has not yet learned to speak. This method also includes learning to count. It is proposed to teach a child number series, using technology similar to teaching reading.

The learning process itself takes place in a playful way. To memorize and practically apply this technique, children are offered a variety of options for pronunciating syllables. Clap your hands, sing, bring the required cube. With the help of various motor techniques, not only the rules of word composition are memorized and understood, but the child’s physical skills are also developed, which allows him to maintain health. Also, active play with teaching material allows you to maintain interest in the learning process longer. The technique is suitable for both group and individual study.

Principles:

  • No pressure on the child from an adult, presenting the material in a playful way;
  • Achieving a goal using basic material, which is the basis of the learning process.
  • An individual approach to each child, allowing each individual student to be given the opportunity to fully assimilate the material.

Zaitsev’s methodology is currently being actively implemented in kindergartens and clubs and may soon become part of the traditional teaching methodology.

Pros:

  • Early learning to read and count, through the development of visual memory and memorization abilities;
  • Development of creative thinking, through understanding the process of word creation;
  • The versatility of the method allows it to be used both for individual training and in groups.

Minuses:

  • Due to the use of large teaching aids (cubes), insufficient time is devoted to the development of fine motor skills.
  • The methodology is aimed at mastering reading and counting, but does not take into account the needs for knowledge of other disciplines.

Traditional methods of pedagogical training for preschoolers

The traditional method is the approach that is usually used in preschool educational institutions and corresponds to a state-recognized program and standards recognized for children of the appropriate age. The methodology is based on the fact that all classes are conducted in groups using games. It is prohibited to use any activities that would have some kind of reminder of how classes are conducted at school. The grading and certification system is not applied to children. At the same time, all children in the group are classified according to basic personality traits.

Three basic approaches are used in training. So each lesson should be visual, verbal or practical, or combine all three methods. Also, when using these approaches, an important role is played by the possibility of teaching a group of children with the highest degree of involvement of everyone in the learning process.

According to the established standards for the traditional method of raising and developing a child under 7 years of age, the following skills are the guideline:

  • Development of initiative in a child as an important skill for successful learning. Independence training;
  • Development of self-confidence;
  • Self-acceptance and general positive attitude towards people;
  • Development of fantasy and imagination;
  • Unlocking creative abilities;
  • Development of fine motor skills;
  • Discovering and strengthening willpower to achieve your goals;
  • Interest in learning new things;

It can also be noted that the traditional method of teaching a child, which is used in preschool educational institutions, is based on the desire to teach and consolidate the knowledge that the child will need during further schooling. But at the same time, the traditional method of acquiring knowledge does not include some popular approaches and activities that may be considered mandatory by many parents in the preschool period.

The disadvantages of the traditional government approach to educating children include the following:

  • Almost complete absence of an individual approach to students; For example, training in a preschool educational institution to work with objects that meet the child’s creative impulses is carried out only in the presence of a teacher in a group. Outside of class, the child does not have the opportunity to individually study the subject of interest to him, since they are out of his reach.
  • The dominant role of the teacher in the learning process. The child gains knowledge within the group and, being in the role of a passive student, can only follow the path that the teacher offers him;
  • Developmental activities in most cases follow the path of explanation, and not the path of creative search.
  • Training follows a strict schedule and schedule, which is not disrupted in the absence of one child.

How to choose the right method?

Each method, while having its own advantages, also has its own disadvantages, which can become critical for many parents. The choice of one or another technique and approach depends on the individual views of parents on the process of education and upbringing.

To select the appropriate method, you need to do the following:

  1. Decide what this methodology should emphasize in teaching a child (knowledge, creativity, spiritual development)?
  2. Explore how the learning process works and is it suitable for you and your child?
  3. What are the pros and cons of the chosen technique?
  4. When choosing more than one technique, it is necessary to evaluate how well they are combined with each other.

Criteria for choosing a technique

To choose a method of teaching a child, parents must answer the question of what they want to get from preschool education:

  • General knowledge;
  • Unlocking the child’s creative potential;
  • Form a free personality;
  • Develop physical skills;
  • Gain encyclopedic knowledge;
  • Something other.

Most often, one technique is aimed at developing one or more of these criteria. Today there is no one approach that would fully ensure the equal development of all these areas. As a result, parents need to either adopt one of the most suitable methods or combine several in the desired proportions. Remember that the ability to combine and take the most necessary things from methods allows parents to successfully resolve most issues related to the education of a child under 7 years old.

In the section on the question: What are the pros and cons of introducing the Federal State Educational Standard in preschool education? given by the author pure-grade the best answer is I haven’t worked in a kindergarten for a long time, but I know what’s going on. My personal opinion is that children are not quite ready for school (they don’t know how to sit at a desk) and poor EXPERIENCED teachers struggle to make students sit through the lesson. Teachers say that the new generation has a plus - personality. This is good. But I’m silent about diagnostics, because everything turns out fine, but at the same time, children don’t know how... they don’t know... About planning --- in our garden there were themed weeks more than 10 years ago, when I was still working .

Hello! Here is a selection of topics with answers to your question: What are the pros and cons of introducing the Federal State Educational Standard in preschool education?

Answer from Oliya Borzykh[guru]
And you still doubt the Federal State Educational Standard, we have been working for two years and have forgotten about the old things. I don't understand what the problem is. We think that there are only advantages:
- previously there was a one-sided influence “teacher-child”, but now “child-adults-peers”;
- strict “classes” have disappeared, we have received a more playful and versatile approach, welcoming the maximum use of innovative and active methods of pedagogical interaction, more individualized and aimed at unlocking each child’s own potential;
- dictating pedagogy will finally be completely eliminated, at least from the field of preschool education, and will be replaced by more modern pedagogy of development, pedagogy of creativity and freedom;
- planning has become more interesting and easier (for me): you take one topic for the month and develop it in all educational areas;
- Previously, diagnostics were aimed at identifying a child who had a certain set of learning abilities, but now it is being replaced by developmental diagnostics, which aims to diversify the child’s knowledge, skills and abilities as much as possible. Just like that, somehow. We wish you success and wish you to quickly figure it out and implement this at home, otherwise the children will not wait - they will grow up.


Answer from I-beam[guru]
there is only one problem - they don’t want to relearn (they don’t know how)


Answer from dewy[guru]
You have the same writings as these Federal State Educational Standards, but you don’t have time to see the children. Teachers don’t play with children, they just develop and diagnose everything.

Problems of the Federal State Educational Standard: pros and cons

Creative potential of the teaching staff of the MBOU "Secondary School No. 6", his professional competence, personal qualities of teaching staff, the desire for self-improvement, interest in creativity and innovation allowed the school teachers to begin implementing Federal State Educational Standard primary general education.

Today, completing the second cycle of training in Federal State Educational Standard primary general education, I would like to dwell on the results and emerging problems.

Pros and cons of introducing the Federal State Educational Standard.

Perhaps the first plus the new Federal State Educational Standard– this is the preservation of the fundamental scientific core, which has always distinguished Russian education. Second, no less important plus– a turn from the school of knowledge transfer to a school that projects the creative abilities of the individual. That is why the implementation of the standard of basic general education is based on a system-activity approach, which involves the widespread introduction of project and research activities into teaching practice. Third plus Federal State Educational Standard- this is an attempt to return the educational function to the school, which was almost completely lost over the past 20 years, and the fourth is the continuity of approaches and principles in building standards for primary, secondary and high schools

Concerning cons. In the process of introducing the new generation Standard, the following emerged: Problems to ensure material and technical conditions for the implementation of the basic educational program of primary schools:

incomplete compliance of the material and technical base of primary school classrooms with the requirements Federal State Educational Standard;

Not all schools have purchased the necessary equipment for their classrooms yet. And it is not yet known how long this will all drag on, but to implement Federal State Educational Standards are needed now. Even with a strong desire, one sufficiently equipped classroom will not save several elementary classes at once; teachers need this equipment in every lesson. And before you enter Federal State Educational Standard comes into effect, the state had to ensure that the entire primary school was ready.

Positive aspects of standardization of preschool education

Risks of introduction

GEF DO


    Standardization of preschool education will make it possible to implement state policy in the field of education (the introduction of the Federal State Educational Standard for Preschool Education will make it possible to implement the Federal Law “On Education in the Russian Federation”)

  • The approval of the Federal State Educational Standard for Preschool Education indicates the recognition of preschool education as a level of general education

  • Valuable novelty of the Federal State Educational Standards of Additional Education - requirements for the results of mastering the educational program of additional education

  • Ensuring continuity between preschool and primary general education

  • The Federal State Educational Standard will ensure the right to quality preschool education

  • The results of mastering the educational educational program are presented in the form of targets

  • Standardization focuses preschool education on the child, his characteristics and interests

  • The innovativeness of the Federal State Educational Standard lies in simultaneously creating conditions for both socialization and individualization of a preschooler

  • The requirements for the structure of educational educational programs in secondary education in FGT and Federal State Educational Standards do not have fundamental differences

  • The Federal State Educational Standard assumes the active participation of parents in the educational process of preschool educational institutions.

  • The Federal State Educational Standard for Education provides for the creation of conditions for advisory support for teachers and parents on issues of inclusive education

  • Federal State Educational Standard for Education takes into account the interests of children with disabilities

  • Standardization will make it possible to maintain a single educational space in conditions of content and organizational variability of preschool education

  • The Federal State Educational Standard for Educational Education provides for a system of conditions for psychological and pedagogical support for children’s development

  • The professional competencies of a teacher implementing educational educational program have been formulated.

  • Scientific and methodological support for the professional activities of managers and teachers in the context of standardization of preschool education

  • Accelerating the process of standardization of preschool education

  • Monitoring risks (lack of a unified criteria-evaluation complex ensuring continuity of preschool and primary general education)

  • “Stretching” school life onto preschool

  • Difficulty in developing OOP DO in a timely and logically consistent manner

  • Inadequate parental requirements for preschool education

  • Lack of recommendations for organizing an inclusive group in preschool educational institutions

  • Unpreparedness of teachers and parents to interact in conditions of inclusive education

  • Rejection of a disabled child in a group of healthy children

  • Difficulties in ensuring the quality of preschool education (insufficient human, material and technical resources; unwillingness of specialists and service personnel of preschool educational institutions to participate in the implementation of preschool educational programs)

  • Misunderstanding of the Federal State Educational Standard for Education by teachers, parents, and the public

  • Personnel risks

  • Personal and professional risks

  • Unpreparedness of managers and teachers for the design and implementation of educational educational programs developed in accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard for Education

Standardization of preschool education will undoubtedly bring positive aspects to our activities. Firstly, standardization of preschool education will make it possible to implement state policy in the field of education. In fact, the new standard establishes in documentary form the principles for keeping children in kindergartens so that the federal law “On Education” can be implemented. Thus, the Federal State Educational Standard for Education must ensure the implementation of state guarantees and will be aimed at meeting the needs of parents and children at this level of education.

Secondly, the approval of the Federal State Educational Standard for Preschool Education will mean that preschool education is finally recognized as a level of education. The standard will allow childhood to become an independent stage of development, for which the state is responsible, and there is a chance that thanks to the new standard, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, not in words, but in deeds, will become a safe harbor that supports the development of childhood. The Federal State Educational Standard for Education will make it possible to create a doctrine for the development of preschool childhood, in which together, “in one harness,” there will be the state, the family, workers in the education system, those who create products to support childhood - books, games, magazines; people who act as defenders of childhood. In fact, the adoption of the standard will lead to an even more dramatic increase in the social status of childhood.

This means that the social status will increase, first of all, of the children themselves, their families, preschool institutions, as well as teachers - both in terms of professional competence and financial level.

The inevitability of speeding up the standardization process should not be a concern. GEF DO will not come into our lives unexpectedly. In anticipation of it, we introduced federal state requirements (FGT) to the basic general education program and to the conditions for its implementation. Which in turn is reflected in the standard. An innovation of the Federal State Educational Standard for Educational Education and a difference from the FGT, it contains, in addition to the requirements for the structure of the main general education program and the conditions for its implementation, requirements for results.

The positive side of the standard also lies in the fact that the standard is based on the requirements for the educational environment of a preschool educational institution, which will ensure the achievement of results. The developers of the Federal State Educational Standard for Preschool Education laid its foundation on the concept of a person-oriented social-pedagogical approach, which underlies preschool education in Finland and Sweden and differs from the Anglo-Saxon model, where the main thing is the academic results that children demonstrate. In the person-centered model, equal importance is given to emotional-personal, social, and cognitive development. This approach gives the best results not so much in the child’s further education in primary school, but in the long term: children grow up proactive, creative, independent, and self-confident.

Therefore, the draft standard vetoes the requirements for assessing educational results (Article 64 of the Federal Law “On Education in the Russian Federation”). The developers proceeded from the fact that all children are different and each will have their own development trajectory. And so that variability does not turn into chaos. The standard contains content requirements that will serve as guidelines for program developers.

The Federal State Educational Standard for Preschool Education will ensure continuity between preschool and primary general education, taking into account sensitive periods in the development of a preschool child.

Clause 7 of Section 4 of the Federal State Educational Standard for Educational Education draft presents the requirements for the results of mastering the basic educational program of preschool education (OOP DO).

The targets of educational preschool education act as the basis for the continuity of preschool and primary general education. Subject to the requirements for the conditions for the implementation of pre-school education, these targets assume the formation of prerequisites for educational activities in preschool children at the stage of completing their preschool education.

Consequently, the Federal State Educational Standard for Preschool Education is aimed at forming a set of integrative personal qualities that ensure the child’s psychological readiness for school (forms qualities, not learning skills: knowledge, abilities, skills), which the child can acquire as a result of mastering the program. This will allow:


  • eliminate the subjective approach to the admission of children to first grade on the part of general education institutions: according to their own criteria, placing too high demands on children

  • will exclude the orientation of preschool educational institutions to fulfill the social order of teachers and parents to prepare the child for school with the prevalence of the cognitive component of development, to the detriment of achieving readiness (physical and psychological) for school;

  • to form the child’s personal qualities according to age.
On the Internet, the pedagogical community is actively discussing the issue of organization and content of monitoring in preschool educational institutions.

Everything is clear with the basic guidelines for pupils moving from one age level to another, but with regard to monitoring graduates of preschool educational institutions, the question arises: if the results of monitoring do not matter either for the primary school or for parents, why carry it out? For reporting? This is formalism. In preschool educational institutions there is one model of a graduate, the school expects first-graders to read and write, and parents adapt to the school’s expectations. The portrait of a preschool educational institution graduate does not always meet the expectations of parents and teachers, and, therefore, the results of monitoring graduates are not significant for them.

Despite the fact that the Federal State Educational Standard for Educational Education defines the requirements for the results of mastering the educational program, the mechanism for assessing this effectiveness is not defined. Paragraph 4 of Section 3 states that psychological and pedagogical diagnostics (monitoring) is carried out only with the consent of the parents - this implies that it is not mandatory. According to paragraphs 3 and 9 of Section 4, targets are not subject to direct assessment; children’s mastery of PEP is not accompanied by intermediate and final assessments of students.

Practical teachers have a large number of questions indicating the presence of monitoring studies. How to determine the result of a child’s mastering the program, the development of social and psychological characteristics, and the child’s achievements. How to track continuity between two levels of education, how to assess the maturity of the prerequisites for educational activities?

Mass psychological and pedagogical diagnostics as a procedure for assessing the level of development of a child and his mastering of the program are carried out, as a rule, with serious violations (untested diagnostic methods are used that have dubious scientific and practical value, etc.). It is important to understand that all this does not correspond to the specifics of preschool education.

Clause 9 of Section 4 of the Federal State Educational Standard for Education states that mastering the main educational program is not accompanied by intermediate and final certifications of students.

Consequently, the monitoring that is carried out in the institution is aimed at correcting identified deficiencies in creating the necessary conditions regulated by the standard, which in turn will ensure the formation of target guidelines, prerequisites for educational activities at the stage of completion of the preschool level of education.

However, the risk remains that the introduction of the Federal State Educational Standard will entail attempts by specific teachers to “stretch” school life into preschool life, seating kindergarten students at their desks and forcing them to take exams.

To level out this risk, the Federal State Educational Standard for Preschool Education defines target guidelines for preschool education - social and psychological characteristics of a child’s possible achievements at the stage of completing the level of preschool education. Targets are determined regardless of the forms of implementation of pre-school education, the characteristics of the development of pupils and the types of pre-school educational institutions that implement pre-school education. They are not subject to pedagogical diagnostics, they act as the basis for the continuity of preschool and primary general education and assume the formation of prerequisites for educational activity in preschool children at the stage of completing their preschool education.

The four areas of child development and ten educational areas have been replaced by five educational areas (communicative and personal development, cognitive development, speech development, artistic and aesthetic development, physical development), which include various types of children's activities. The leading type of activity remains gaming. As in FGT, the principle of integration of activities and the absence of strict regulation of children's activities have been preserved, which ensures the education of a free personality who can make his own choices.

The new standard is aimed at ensuring that the entire system of public preschool education works for the child and is built around his interests.

The innovativeness of the standard is determined by the fact that it simultaneously combines individualization and socialization at the preschooler level. The main criteria of the new standard of preschool education are the socialization and individual development of the child, and not preparation for school, i.e. In the standard, for the first time, the educational program is defined as a program of psychological and pedagogical support for the positive socialization and individualization of children, and not as a program for teaching children. The most important thing that runs through the entire standard is that the encouragement of the child’s initiative is emphasized, and the adult is only an intermediary who encourages this initiative. The developers of the standard do not focus on ensuring that the child already knows the school curriculum before going to first grade, but on developing abilities that correspond to preschool age - for games, drawing, and design. Much attention will be paid to the development of initiative in the child, his interaction with adults and peers. The socialization of a child - how he communicates with other children and educators, and engages in various activities - is approved in the Federal State Educational Standard for Preschool Education as the main criterion for the development of a child, along with individualization.

All these features must be taken into account when developing OOP DO. At the same time, there is a risk of a formal approach to the development of OOP DO.

The standard emphasizes the possibility that an educational institution can develop and implement various preschool education programs with different lengths of stay for children during the day, for early and preschool children. At the same time, the list of types of children's activities is defined only for five- to six-year-old children. How do the authors of the Federal State Educational Standard for Education suggest organizing mandatory activities for one- and two-year-old children to ride a scooter and ski, organize role-playing games, and do household chores? Clear, specific federal level guidelines are needed for the development of educational programs in preschool institutions.

According to the Federal State Educational Standard for Preschool Education, the educational program determines the content and organization of the educational process at the level of preschool education. Its content should cover the following educational areas: communicative and personal development; cognitive development; speech development; artistic and aesthetic development; physical development.


  • subject-spatial developmental educational environment;

  • the nature of interaction with adults;

  • the nature of interaction with other children;

  • the child’s system of relationships to the world, to other people, to himself.
Educational educational program presupposes a mandatory part and a part formed by the participants in educational relations. Both parts are complementary and necessary from the point of view of implementing the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard for Education. The mandatory part involves the development of students in all five complementary educational areas. The second part includes partial programs, methods, and forms of organizing educational work.

The educational program includes three main sections: target, content and organizational, each of which reflects the mandatory part and the part formed by the participants in the educational process.

The target section includes: an explanatory note (goals and objectives of the implementation of the educational program, characteristics: psychological, age and individual characteristics of children, their educational needs, priority areas of activity of the preschool educational institution, specific conditions, principles and approaches); targets.

The content section determines the general content of primary education, ensuring the full development of children, taking into account their age and individual characteristics, and involves the development of specific types of children's activities, the formation of primary value orientation and socialization, correction of developmental disorders of children with disabilities and children with disabilities, etc.

The organizational section determines the organization of the educational process.

The content of correctional work and/or inclusive education is included in the educational program of preschool education as a separate section if it is planned to be mastered by children with disabilities. This section is drawn up in the form of one or more adapted educational programs, which should consider the mechanism for adapting the educational program for children with disabilities (CHD) and implementing qualified correction of their developmental disorders.

An additional section of the preschool education program is the text of its brief presentation, aimed at parents of students and available for review.

Unfortunately, recently many parents are outspoken opponents of change. In any case, in the media they accuse preschool educational institutions of unjustified monetary extortions, excesses in the educational methods of individual teachers, and inedible menus. Parents have accumulated a lot of complaints against kindergartens. One can even talk about a persistent crisis of confidence in preschool educational institutions.

At the same time, the Federal State Educational Standard assumes the active participation of parents in the educational process of preschool educational institutions. Thus, in paragraph 3 of section 6, special attention is paid to the open nature of the educational process based on cooperation with the families of students for:

● interaction with the family on issues of the child’s education, protection and promotion of his health, provision of advisory and other assistance if necessary.

● to discuss with parents (legal representatives) of pupils issues related to the implementation of the Program.

●directly involving them in the educational process, including through the creation of educational projects together with the family based on identifying needs and supporting the family’s educational initiatives.

The significant role of the parent community is obvious. The Federal State Educational Standard for Education defines specific areas for involving parents in the educational process. This task must be solved locally; the success of its implementation will depend on the institutions.

For the first time, the inclusion of children with disabilities in general education kindergartens is being discussed at the legislative level (clause 5 of the general provisions of the Federal State Educational Standard for Education). In accordance with Part 11 of Article 13 of the Federal Law “On Education in the Russian Federation”, one of the tasks of preschool educational institutions is to organize the rehabilitation of disabled children if appropriate conditions exist. In the draft order “On approval of the Procedure for organizing and implementing educational activities in general educational programs of preschool education”, special attention is paid to compensatory groups in which the implementation of an adapted educational program for children with disabilities is carried out, taking into account the characteristics of their psychophysical development, individual capabilities, ensuring correction of developmental disorders and social adaptation of pupils with disabilities. In combined groups, healthy children and children with disabilities are co-educated in accordance with the preschool education program, adapted for children with disabilities, taking into account the characteristics of their psychophysical development, individual capabilities, ensuring the correction of developmental disorders and social adaptation of pupils with disabilities .

The following may hinder the effective organization of inclusive education:


  1. Unwillingness of teachers themselves to work in the mode of inclusive education, psychological rejection of a disabled child into a group of healthy children.

  2. This is partly where the problems arise with parents, who often manipulate their own children in the fight against “not like that”, they say that their children have developed panic fear, they look for scratches, bruises, etc.. What is allowed for a healthy child: hit someone bitten, threw a toy, etc., a disabled child is not forgiven; a label is immediately attached: unmotivated aggressive, threatens life and health, interferes with activities, inhibits the development of healthy children. Parents demand that such a child be immediately removed from the group.

  3. Lack of clear recommendations for organizing the work of an inclusive group.
It is necessary to summarize the best existing experience on this issue, create conditions for professional communication between teachers of inclusive education and advisory support for parents whose children are raised in inclusive groups.

There is a risk in ensuring the quality of education in terms of creating conditions and training. Despite the fact that paragraphs 10-15 of Section 3 of the Federal State Educational Standard for Educational Education quite fully spell out the requirements for the subject-development environment and personnel training, there are a number of concerns. For example, in terms of material and technical support, it is necessary to have a sufficient number of modern educational games and toys, sports equipment, etc. to implement OOP in accordance with the five educational areas mentioned above. However, if any of the areas is not represented in the subject-development environment of the preschool educational institution or is represented incompletely, then fulfilling the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard, namely the provision of high-quality educational services, is impossible. It is also no secret that our kindergartens do not have a number of functional premises (laboratories, workshops, studios), which are included in the space of modern educational institutions in Germany, Belgium, Holland, Finland and other countries. Children's playgrounds are insufficiently equipped.

It is also necessary to keep special control over the issue of staffing preschool educational institutions with qualified personnel; support for teachers at the stage of designing a subject-development environment in accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard (namely, meaningful, rich, transformable, variable, accessible and safe). It is necessary to prepare junior educators and other preschool employees to participate in the implementation of educational programs.

One of the key conditions of the standard is that the requirements for a kindergarten teacher are outlined, setting his humanistic position. In kindergartens, a child first encounters a so-called “social” adult (educator), with whom he needs to build relationships. The entire educational process depends on the competence of the teacher.

Another definition of the Standard that the developers use among themselves is “a system of conditions for psychological and pedagogical support for children’s development.” For the first time, it provides guidelines for those who work with preschool children: what kind of work is this? How is it built? What requirements and conditions must ensure its effectiveness and quality? Separately, the standard stipulates the respect of teachers for their pupils: it also stipulates the protection of children from all forms of physical and mental violence, that is, from incompetent adults.

Due to the fact that, as already mentioned, this standard assumes a fundamentally different approach to preschool childhood, i.e. it is a standard that does not view early childhood solely as it was previously viewed, that is, as preparation for school. One of the main questions arises: is our teaching community ready to implement this Standard. And then one of the very first and main risks arises, which the creators of the Federal State Educational Standard greatly fear - this is a misunderstanding of this standard (quote from Alexander Asmolov). At the moment, there is no thesaurus that would not allow different interpretations of this document by both teachers, parents, and representatives of inspection bodies.

Another no less dangerous and serious risk is a qualitatively different training of teaching and management personnel. The capabilities and competencies of a teacher are one of the key points of the standard

The success of the program implementation depends 90% on staffing; it is necessary to seriously work on increasing the competence of teachers, which will allow them to work according to the standard. The requirements for the conditions for the development of children and for the activities of teachers are specified in the most detail in the standard. The draft document specifies the competencies that we consider necessary for teachers to work according to this standard

If we talk about private risks, it is worth touching on the personal and professional risks associated with the personality traits of teachers. First of all, this is a psychological barrier such as rejection of the new. It is known that the first reaction to anything new and unusual is often rejection. In addition, the majority of teachers are quite conservative and little changeable, which in general is not so bad. But in this matter it is more of a “minus” than a “plus”. And overcoming the traditional approach to the profession, developing an awareness of oneself as a teacher of a “new type”, and even more so, being the bearer of these new goals in the parent community is not an easy task.

Concern about the predicted unpreparedness of managers and teachers for the design and implementation of educational educational programs developed in accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard dictates the need to organize scientific and methodological support for these activities carried out by the institute as part of formal and informal advanced training.

The identified positive aspects of standardization of preschool education will provide conditions for the full development of children, taking into account their age and individual characteristics. The recorded risks of introducing the Federal State Educational Standard for Educational Education will make it possible to set tasks that are relevant for educational practice and highlight the priorities of professional activity. Effective solution of the assigned tasks is possible only if the actions of all levels of management are coordinated at the stage of transition to the Federal State Educational Standard for Education.
