Methodological Support of a Teacher in the Design of Educational Situations to Develop Interest in St. Petersburg among Older Children
The paper discusses the problem of organizing methodological support of educators in the project-ing the educational situations to develop interest in St. Petersburg among older children. An explanation of the concepts of “interest”, “pedagogical project-ing”, “projecting skills of a preschool teacher”, "ed-ucational situation" in relation to a preschool organ-ization is given. The matrix of projecting skills of a preschool teacher is presented. As a way of study-ing the professional readiness of a teacher, “case-situations”, in which the activity of a teacher to de-velop children’s interest in St. Petersburg is mod-eled, are proposed and substantiated. The study also identifies groups of teachers depending on the characteristics of projecting skills. Also, groups of teachers are identified depending on the assess-ment of their own readiness to projecting educa-tional situations to develop interest in St. Petersburg for older children. Individual and group difficulties of teachers in the projecting of educational situa-tions to develop interest in St. Petersburg in older children were identified. The content of the technol-ogy of projecting an educational situation for the development of interest in St. Petersburg among children of senior preschool age is described. The relationship between the use of the developed tech-nology and an increase in professional readiness for the projecting of educational situations for the de-velopment of interest in St. Petersburg in older chil-dren is considered.
