The “talking walls” technique and timely transformation of educational space of preschool educational institution

Abstract

The article deals with the scientific approaches towards the educational space. It is noted that the necessary precondition of creating personal space of the child in preschool educational institutions of any property category is the support of a personality-oriented model of interaction between the participants of the educational process. It is stressed that among other modern technologies, which are actively implemented into the practice of work of pre-school educational institutions of Ukraine, the international “Talking Walls” technique should be singled out as the one that gives the child a chance to be the master of their personal space. The essence of the technology is that the child, receiving the necessary information, has the right to plan their activities, make constructive use of the information resource. In other words, the “Talking Walls” technique is a visualization system of knowledge and the process of immersion of preschoolers and adults into the educational space of kindergarten. Therefore, the joint organization of individual and group partnership with children is a synthesis of organized learning and self-regulated learning (in the broadest sense), in the course of which information (which is freely received from different sources) acquires the status of a subjective (personal) knowledge. The “Talking Walls” technique is not something new and unknown to the Ukrainian colleagues, but it gives the opportunity to look at the educational process from the new angle, to convert it according to the requests of the child’s perception and psycho-physiological development.
