THE ROLE OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN PRESCHOOL EDUCATION

Abstract

In the Republic of Kazakhstan preschool education is considered as a component of the social infrastructure of society and is one of the priority areas of innovative development of the country.

Preschool education is an integral part and the first link in a unified system of continuous education, where the formation of the foundations of personality occurs. In accordance with the generally accepted age periodization of human development, preschool childhood covers the period from birth to 6 years, when the active formation of the motor, sensory and intellectual spheres of the child, the development of speech and basic mental processes, abilities and socially significant qualities occur.The high intensity of the process of personality formation during preschool childhood makes it possible to especially effectively carry out pedagogical interaction with the child and solve the problems of development, education and training.

At the present stage of development in the Republic of Kazakhstan, deep socio-economic and innovative transformations are taking place, which require new approaches to the preschool education system and a search for new effective forms of organizing the educational process .

Purpose of preschool educationis to create conditions for the maximum development of a child’s individual age-related potential; it is necessary to create conditions for the development of a functionally literate personality - a person capable of solving any life problems, using the knowledge, skills and abilities acquired throughout the life and while remaining human. The child must receive the right to become the subject of his own life, to see their potential, to believe in their own strength, and to learn to be successful in their activities. This will greatly facilitate the child’s transition from kindergarten to school and will maintain interest in learning in school setting[1].

Significant changes are taking place in the preschool education system associated with updating the methodological base of education and training. One of the important conditions for renewal is the use of digital technologies.
