Time requirements oblige employees of preschool institutions to look for new methods of training and information delivery. This is due to the need for an individual approach to each child, which allows you to identify his interests, abilities, creative talents. One way to implement this requirement is to introduce integrated classes in the kindergarten.
What does "integrated occupation" mean?
The concept of integrated employment includes receptions aimed at revealing the essence of a certain topic, by applying to it several activities that are interpenetrating and complementary.
The technology of integrated employment in the pre-school allows you to fulfill the main task of preschool education in principle - to open the topic fully and deeply, but at the same time to make the occupation as short as possible. This allows not to overload children and leave more time for other activities, such as walking and outdoor games. In addition, this has a positive effect on motivation for learning, since the integrated occupation, in addition to directly submitting new material, provides for the active inclusion of children in it through elements of the game, which is known to be the preschooler's leading activity.
Goals and objectives of integrated classes in the pre-school
The purpose of the integrated lesson is a comprehensive, conscious study of the concept, object or phenomenon through a combination of activities - creative, artistic, playful, accessible to children of this age.
The tasks of integrated classes for preschool children include:
- formation of a holistic perception of the world;
- development of skills for self-mastery and application of new information;
- the introduction of the child to art, the formation of aesthetic taste;
- development of creative abilities.
The difference between an integrated occupation and an integrated
Along with integrated teachers, comprehensive classes are also used. These two methods share many common features - they are thematic and include various activities in their process. But the complex occupation also involves the occasional inclusion of assignments and questions from other disciplines, for a more versatile and complete comprehension.
The main difference is that the integrated occupation is very difficult to divide into different types of activities, and in the integrated they are more obvious and alternating.
