Засоби казки як закономірності морального виховання дітей раннього та передшкільного віку

Abstract

The article reveals the essence of the concepts “morality”, “moral education” and “moral behavior of the older preschool children”. The problem of morality is described, as well as the views of scientists on the problem of moral qualities formation of the older preschool children. We believe that one of the effective means of influencing the child‟s emotional and moral spheres is a fairy tale that belongs to the world of the childhood. The role of a fairy tale in work with preschool children is revealed, which promotes the cognitive development of children, cultivates moral feelings and affects the child‟s personality. The peculiarities of children‟s perception and understanding of fairy tales and its significance in the formation of the ability of preschoolers to express themselves creatively have been studied. The effectiveness of the use of author‟s and fairy tales in the context of raising older preschool children has been clarified. The urgency of this problem is due to the choice of the topic of qualification work. We see that each selected and created fairy tale will awaken in preschool children a certain range of emotions (joy, experience, sadness, pity, indignation, etc.) and show the ability not only to convey these feelings, but above all, to evoke these feelings. The above theoretical provisions became the starting point of the ascertaining and formative stages of the experimental study of the process of moral qualities formation of the older preschool children by means of fairy tales. In order to clarify the real state of moral and ethical education of the older preschool children, to obtain basic data for the creation of formative experiment methods, a statement experiment was conducted.
