Explanatory note

Along with traditional textbooks, a large number of educational electronic resources have now appeared. Computer learning is a new way of learning; one of its varieties can be considered the use of educational game programs.

The purpose of introducing a computer into the life of a preschooler is “...first of all, to form his psychological readiness for life in a society that widely uses information technology.”

With the expansion of the gaming software market, computer games are occupying more and more space in a child’s life. Currently, the market is overflowing with games that promote aggression and violence. Psychological dependence on computer games negatively affects the mental and somatic state of the child. To protect your child from the negative influence of computer games, you need to carefully monitor the choice of game programs.

This program includes computer games that will contribute to the development of the child’s cognitive activity and encourage him to actively increase his knowledge about the world around him. Thanks to this, children develop the mental processes necessary for learning at school: thinking, memory, perception, cognitive activity. In these games, as in any creative activity, the child will need to activate his thinking, intelligence, resourcefulness, and reasoning skills.

The child is not always able to concentrate his attention during the entire lesson on its content. Attention has a number of properties: concentration, stability, switchability. Educational game programs allow a child to develop in a playful way these properties of attention, which will allow him to be more diligent and focused in the process of learning activities. In addition, the child uses all types of memory: figurative, emotional, visual, auditory, logical. One of the main commandments for improving memory is repetition. Children, as a rule, play the same game many times with great interest, thereby strengthening their memory. From lesson to lesson, the child is given various didactic tasks that require a certain amount of knowledge and skills from him. During the game, interest in educational activities begins to form, and the child’s gaming motivation gradually shifts to educational ones.

Computer classes are also of great importance for the development of voluntary motor skills of the fingers, which is especially important when working with preschoolers. In the process of performing computer tasks, they need, in accordance with the assigned tasks, to learn how to press certain keys with their fingers and use the mouse. In addition, an important point in preparing children to master writing is the formation and development of joint coordinated activity of the visual and motor analyzers, which is successfully achieved in classes using a computer.

The child masters a new way, simpler and faster, of receiving and processing information, changes his attitude towards a new class of technology and, in general, towards a new world of objects.

The use of computer technologies in working with preschool children is still an unconventional technique, but with its help it is possible to more effectively solve educational problems that will help prepare the child for school.

Purpose of the program: development of intellectual abilities and cognitive processes in preschool children.

Tasks:

Development and formation of visual-spatial orientation;

Formation and development of voluntary mental functions (voluntary attention, thinking, memory and behavior);

Development of abstract, visual and figurative thinking;

Formation and development of logical thinking (classification, comparison, generalization);

Strengthening counting and reading skills;

Acquiring practical skills when working with a PC.

Organization of the educational process

The program is aimed at working with students aged 5-6 years and is designed for one year of study.

Classes are held once a week for one class hour. The total number of hours per year per group is 36.

Form of classes: individual, group.

Methods used:

Practical lessons;

Working with didactic material (various cards with numbers, pictures and letters, various objects for classification, etc.);

Active group teaching methods: games, discussions, competition activities.

Characteristics of expected results

As a result of mastering the “Computer for Preschoolers” program, students receive a whole range of knowledge and acquire certain skills.

Students should know:

Purpose of the main devices included in the computer: system unit, monitor, keyboard, mouse;

Rules for safe computer use.

Use a mouse;

Distinguish between the cursor pointer and the mouse pointer on the monitor screen;

Select an object on the screen using the mouse (place the mouse pointer and click the left mouse button);

Draw a frame on the screen with the left mouse button pressed;

Move an object with the left mouse button pressed;

Use the keyboard: enter letters and numbers, use the “Enter” key;

Select by clicking the desired line in the “list” type request field (main menu, level menu);

Click the action buttons on the screen with the mouse;

Enter a string of characters into the input window, delete characters using the “BackSpace” key.

At the end of the school year, a diagnosis of the level of mastery of the educational program is carried out. To analyze mastery, available developmental and educational computer games are used.

As practice shows, the level of assimilation is constantly increasing. Children learn computer control (keyboard, mouse) automatically. During the game, the child’s attention is not focused on the fact that he is being diagnosed, but he is given certain didactic tasks that the child must solve independently, and he “just plays.” It is important that during computer games the child is relaxed and fluent in using the computer, despite the fact that this is a new type of game.

The criteria for assessing the mastery of sections of the educational program are the child’s independence, shown in the games:

The child practically cannot cope with the task assigned to him, even with the help of an adult - this indicates a low level of development;

At an average level - copes with the help of an adult;

At high level - completes the task independently.

The diagnostic results and analysis of children’s assimilation of the educational program are used to help the child overcome difficulties in mastering the program, draw the attention of specialists to the problem and jointly solve it.

Principles and teaching aids

Working with children always requires a lot of effort from the teacher, especially with preschool children. Based on the specifics of this age category, the following teaching principles are used when presenting the material being studied:

Availability

The topic of the lesson is presented in a simple form accessible to children of this age, as well as using various didactic materials.

Availability is also one of the main criteria when selecting computer programs for classes. They should be easy to manage and the material in them should be presented in a simple, easy-to-understand form.

Visibility

Since in preschool children visual-effective and visual-figurative thinking still plays a leading role in learning, an important point in the lesson is the clarity of the material. This:

Special equipment in the office: bright mouse pads;

Tape recorder and CD-ROM for using music in class;

A printer for printing pictures, letters, numbers, etc.

Various teaching materials for the lesson (pictures, paper figures);

Using pictures in homework and rewards;

Including a drawing element in homework (drawing in notebooks);

A selection of computer programs for classes (using colorful, bright pictures, animation, sound effects).

Individual approach

Working with preschoolers requires much more attention than with students, and not only because of age. Kids don’t yet know how to “work”, they don’t know how to “study” purposefully, specifically on the topic of the lesson. In addition, at this age the difference in development between children is very noticeable. Therefore, it is advisable to talk more about individual training.

Even if the work is carried out in groups, it is better to keep them small - up to 3 people, so that the teacher has the opportunity to pay attention to everyone during the lesson, give each individual a task, and monitor its implementation.

Individual work is one of the most effective ways to teach preschoolers.

Homework

Homework is one of the main points: it is responsible for creating motivational activities, creativity, i.e. the ability to work independently, recreate the forgotten, and keep oneself active. Both the child himself and his parents participate in its implementation. Homework should help you comprehend what happened in class, identify the essence of the classes, and feel the importance of the classes themselves.

The entire course is designed for 36 lessons; once a week for 30 minutes. Homework is used. During the course, two control classes are expected to be conducted.

Classes are held according to the following scheme:

View homework (3 min.). For homework, brochures specially designed for this course are used.

Technical questions (5 min.). When considering technical issues, it is advisable to refer as often as possible to questions on safety precautions (adapted for children of this age), repeat the parts of the computer, what they are needed for, how the mouse works, why disks, a printer, etc. are needed.

Warm-up games - on the topic of the lesson (5 min.). To warm up, exercises are used - games, in which participation requires switching attention to another type of activity (movement, drawing, etc.).

Working with computer programs on the topic of the lesson (15 min.).

Distribution of “mice” (encouragement) - 2 min.

The educational and thematic plan of the program contains three main sections: “Computer ABC”, “Learning to work on a computer”, “Developing with a computer”.

When studying the “Computer ABC” section, video materials about the purpose and methods of using a computer are used, as well as educational videos that tell about the rules of working at a computer, the structure of a computer, the correct way to turn on and off a computer, and additional devices that can be connected to a computer.

After viewing, questions that arose while viewing the material are discussed with the children.

Particular attention is paid to computer terms so that the child remembers new concepts better.

When studying the section “Learning to work on a computer”, children receive basic computer skills in a form understandable to a child.

Each lesson is presented from simple to complex, so that a child with any level of training can learn something useful from it.

So that the child can learn the material at the pace at which it is convenient for him, educational videos are used with a player that allows you to pause the study or start it from any desired moment.

When studying the section “Developing with a Computer,” all kinds of games and tasks are used to develop the child’s attention, memory, logical, imaginative and associative thinking, simple counting and reading skills, recognition of colors and geometric shapes, a creative approach to learning new things, skills of perseverance and independent work.

Conditions for the program

While psychologists and teachers argue at what age a child can be allowed to use a computer, manufacturers have long ago resolved this issue by releasing a huge number of programs for children starting from three years old. Indeed, if a child enjoys watching cartoons, then he will also be interested in educational games with drawn and puppet characters. But you shouldn’t rush to put a child behind a screen that an adult can’t stand in front of for more than an hour. The computer for the child still needs to be prepared.

The monitor must have a diagonal of at least 17 inches. Since the child perceives large and clear pictures better, it is better to set the screen resolution to a low one. The flickering frequency of the screen is very important; it is advisable to set it to 80 Hz, or even better, 100-120 Hz - then the strain on your eyesight will be minimal.

You need to pay attention to the keyboard. Two letters on each key - Russian and Latin - can puzzle even a child prodigy. Therefore, it is advisable for the keyboard to have only the Russian alphabet, or to carefully cover up the extra row of letters.

There are certain rules and safety requirements when working with a computer. If these recommendations are followed, then you can be completely calm about the health of your children: the computer will not harm them.

Basic computer programs for the development of intellectual abilities of preschool children

Intellectual development acts as the most important component any human activity. In order to satisfy his needs, communicate, play, study and work, a person must perceive the world, pay attention to certain moments or activity components, imagine what he needs to do, remember, think, express judgments. Therefore, without participation, human activity is impossible; they act as its integral internal moments. They develop in activities, and themselves represent special types of activities.

When starting pedagogical work with children, first of all, you need to understand what is given to the child by nature and what is acquired under the influence of the environment.

Development human inclinations, turning them into capabilities- one of the tasks of training and education, which can be solved without knowledge and development of intellectual processes is impossible. As they development, improve themselves capabilities, acquiring the necessary qualities. Knowledge of psychological structure intellectual abilities, the laws of their formation are necessary for the correct choice of method of training and education. Great contribution to the study and development cognitive processes were also contributed by such scientists How: L. S. Vygodsky, A. N. Leontiev, J. Piaget S. L. Rubinshtein, L. S. Sakharov, A. N. Sokolov, etc.

They developed various methods and theories of formation intellectual abilities. And now, to be successful develop them in educational activities, it is necessary to look for more modern means and methods of teaching. Usage computer with its enormous universal capabilities will be one of such means.

TO the development of intellectual abilities includes: development of thinking(cognitive, creative, memory, attention, qualities of the mind (intelligence, flexibility, economy, independence, thinking skills (isolation, comparison, analysis, etc., cognitive skills (see a contradiction, a problem, pose questions, put forward hypotheses, etc., skills study, formation of subject knowledge, skills, abilities

There are three basic programs for the development of intellectual abilities:

Educational programs

Exercise equipment

Educational and game

Educational programs

Computer training programs have many advantages over traditional teaching methods. They provide development of students' intellectual abilities, activate their creative potential. This programs which impart knowledge, form skills, educational or practical skills, ensuring the necessary level of assimilation.

Let's consider the most standard, so to speak, set programs which is preferred for teaching children.

Classify educational children's programs, from the user’s point of view, it is possible according to a huge variety of criteria that must be taken into account when choosing programs. Experts highlight 5 directions:

Logic and memory;

Fine hand motor skills;

Counting and reading;

Volumetric perception and imagination;

Musical ear and artistic taste.

A baby's logical thinking can develop programs, in which it is necessary to operate not just things, but also their modified "copies", silhouettes, for example. This uses memory. It could be puzzles or a game "collect items", where you will need to remember objects and then find them in some space. An example of such programs may be"Logic for Kids",Baby Logics, Cifiri, « Developing memory» , Montessori, "Funny Pictures" - a tool package for creating and solving problems related to assembling on the screen an ordered set of objects of text and graphic structure, etc.

Hand motor skills develop all programs, where control occurs by pressing certain keys or moving the mouse in a certain direction. Kids will especially love the colorful educational programs like"By screws" or "Air-Race".

Counting and reading are perhaps the most developed category. This is Mathmatic "Entertaining arithmetic" and much more.

Three-dimensional perception and imagination will be developed by educational programs, where you need to assemble a character or draw something specific. Good example - "Tower Box", where the items issued must be folded in a certain way, or "Snow Riddles", where you need to assemble the mosaic.

Musical and artistic programs will allow the child to easily learn notes, colors, tones, and learn to perceive art. Music editors and coloring books, of which there are a huge number on the World Wide Web, are good options.

- "Coloring" is a simple editor that is recommended to be included in teaching the first skills of working with graphic information. With a cursor that takes on several different shapes and capable of changing size, you can draw contour and shaded drawings. The program is capable remember the history of the drawing. This allows you to use it as a tool for simple animation.

Exercise equipment

Programs, designed to practice various kinds of skills and abilities.

To such programs include:

Training apparatus "Gather beads on a string"- train fine motor skills, use the mouse to move parts across the screen, and also assemble elements along given lines and in a certain sequence. The tasks are specially selected for difficulties: first one color, then alternating colors, then alternating sizes, then alternating different shapes, and at the end a creative task of assembling your own beads. The lines are located horizontally and vertically, as well as in a circle.

Training apparatus "Houses"- The simulator is aimed at practicing and self-testing knowledge of the composition of numbers

"Brain Trainer" is a professionally designed training program, For development and increasing such important ones - Memory, Attention, Counting, Logic, Reaction.

"Intelligence trainer"- uniqueness program is that each exercise stimulates development of several abilities at once, and the proposed order of their implementation allows you to achieve maximum results with minimal time spent and load on the brain.

Educational and game programs

Programs are intended to create learning situations in which the activities of students are implemented in a playful way.

Analysis software, shows enormous possibilities computer games for general intellectual and emotional and personal child development and learning.

Classification computer programs and games

1. Educational games for preschoolers.

This computer programs, intended for the formation and development of general mental abilities in children, goal setting, fantasy, imagination. They do not have a clearly defined purpose - they are tools for the child’s creativity and self-expression. TO programs this type relate:

Graphic editor, "drawing", "coloring books", constructors that provide the ability to freely draw on the screen with straight and curved lines, contour and solid geometric shapes and spots, painting closed areas, inserting ready-made drawings, erasing images;

Simple text editors for entering, editing, storing and printing text;

-"environment designers" with a variety of functionality for the free movement of characters and other elements against the backdrop of scenery, including those that serve basis for creating"director's" computer games;

-"music editors" for entering, storing and reproducing simple (usually single-voiced) melodies in musical notation form;

-"fairy tale constructors", combining the capabilities of elementary text and graphic editors.

Educational games

These are gaming didactic type programs, in which it is proposed to solve one or more didactic problems in a playful way. This class includes games related to the formation of children initial mathematical concepts; with teaching the alphabet, syllable and word formation, writing through reading and reading through writing, native and foreign languages; with the formation of ideas based on orientation on the plane and in space; with aesthetic, moral education; environmental education; With basics systematization and classification, synthesis and analysis of concepts. "Garfield preschoolers» , "Garfield for Schoolchildren", "Fold the pattern", "Kaleidoscope".

Games - experiments

In games of this type, the goal and rules of the game are not set explicitly, but are hidden in the plot or control method. Therefore, in order to achieve success in solving a game problem, a child must, through search actions, come to an awareness of the goal and method of action in the game.

Fun games

Such games do not explicitly contain game objectives or challenges development. They're just providing an opportunity for kids. have fun, carry out search actions and see the result on the screen in the form of some "micro cartoon". "Finding Nemo", "Elka"

Computer diagnostic games

Games developing, educational experiments, can be considered diagnostic, since an experienced teacher and, especially, a psychologist way to solve computer problems tasks can say a lot about the child.

Logic games.

These games are aimed at development logical thinking.

- Chess games: checkers, chess, etc.

Logic training educational games: labyrinths, guess the number, word, tic-tac-toe, etc.

Usage basic programs for the development of intellectual abilities contributes to successful psychological adaptation children to school conditions, to successful socialization in society, increasing one’s level development, becoming higher intellectual level.

I decided to look for a reading program for my child. After a quick look at the offers on the market, only two suitable ones were found: “The Merry ABC” by Cyril and Methodius, Russia and “The Magic ABC Book” Copyright Akella, Sweden. It's possible, of course, that I was just unlucky and someone else discovered something else.

I decided to look for a reading program for my child. After a quick look at the offers on the market, only two suitable ones were found: “The Merry ABC” by Cyril and Methodius, Russia and “The Magic ABC Book” Copyright Akella, Sweden. It's possible, of course, that I was just unlucky and someone else discovered something else.

To my deep regret, the discs either did not come with a description at all (“Merry ABC”) or the description was very brief and unclear (“The Magic ABC Book”). Do manufacturers really assume that when choosing a curriculum, consumers only need to look at a beautiful picture and name? I had to take the pig in a poke.

I must say that I was not delighted with both programs! Although both there and there were rational grains. Now, if, like Gogol, you added a piece of another to a piece of one, threw out most of it, and added an even larger part, then perhaps you would get what you need. But, unfortunately, the producers didn’t ask me :)

But let's start with the script.

So, "Merry ABC". As the manufacturers themselves point out, these are “interactive cartoon lessons for children.” The main character is a hare. It is also drawn on the disk. The structure of the program is strictly linear. In some places there are three difficulty levels. It is impossible to move to the next stage without passing the previous one.

1. "The story of how the hares started talking."

   A cartoon for a couple of minutes. No interactivity. Like it or not, for the first time or the twentieth you will have to watch everything from beginning to end. Although the animation is decent, still, especially in a situation where there is no interactivity, I prefer to show my child the classics of animation on a videotape over the proposed plot nonsense.

   "There is an object in this picture that can sound or speak. Find it." The pictures are repeated. You can go back, but you cannot skip this stage without playing out all four proposed situations. The difficulty level is determined by the number of items offered for selection. The fifth time it's already tiring.
   

2. "The hare guessed that any word can be drawn."

   Another cartoon for a couple of minutes. Viewing is required. It is not possible to interrupt and jump.

   Interactive game. In the big picture you need to find the objects drawn in the small picture. For example: On the left is a jump rope. On the right are four pictures of a hare in different environments. In one of these pictures, a hare is jumping on a skipping rope. Three difficulty levels are determined by the total number of large pictures: two, three or four. There is probably some deep methodological meaning to the presence of this particular game on the alphabet teaching disc.
   

3. "The hare realized that words consist of letters"

   Cartoon for a couple more minutes. You can watch it once. But you have to watch it exactly as many times as you run the program. You will not be able to exit at this point, or skip over this or other stages. You can only return to the previous stage and watch everything from the beginning, but you won’t get to the very beginning, to the exit. Maybe there are some keys for exiting from any place in the program, but I went through all the standard ones and didn’t find the ones I needed.

   Interactive alphabet. All letters are on the screen. When you select a letter, it is pronounced and a picture with a word starting with that letter is shown. Thank God, you don’t have to go through all the letters. You can quickly move on to the next game. A huge drawback of the game, in my opinion, is that here and further the names of the letters are pronounced, as in the alphabet, and not the sounds corresponding to the letters. I'm a big believer in teaching sounds and moving quickly to syllables. I agree with many recommendations for teaching reading, which say that when teaching the names of letters at the initial stage, it is much more difficult to move on to merging later. The child will have to turn the simple word “dad” into a word from the combination of letters pe-a-pe-a, remembering along the way either a rooster or a stork. Why complicate the process when it is already difficult?!
   

4. "The hare shows how syllables are made from letters"

   Short cartoon. The magician hare brings M closer to U, lightning, thunder, it turns out MU. Informative and, most importantly, not as tediously long as in previous episodes. In general, this stage is one of the most successful, in my opinion. If the structure of the program was not strictly linear, I would start with it and be limited to it. All the rest, in my opinion, are methodologically quite weak. The quality of the animations is nothing. But the plot of cartoons for the most part is also nonsense. Very reminiscent of American comics.

   Interactive game. Composing syllables. Two cans. Each contains several letters, depending on the level of difficulty. The hare asks to form certain syllables. You need to choose a letter from each jar. The set of syllables is limited to ten. "Coo-" a cackling hen is demonstrated. "Aw-" dog. "Uh-" eagle owl, etc.

   Interactive game. Composing words from syllables. In the picture, several weights are placed interspersed; you need to rearrange them to get the right word. If everything is correct, then the word is demonstrated. This is cute.

   Although this stage is one of the most successful in the program, in my opinion, it also has a number of significant drawbacks. The range of proposed syllables and words in the program is very limited. No more than ten each. On the second or third viewing, everything repeats itself. The lion's share of syllables are not used at all. Therefore, you won’t be working on this stage for a long time. The complexity of syllables varies greatly. Everything is mixed: both open and closed, and from two letters, and from three. The authors clearly lack a methodologically competent script.
   

5. "Every complete thought is a sentence."

   Cartoon.

   Interactive game. You need to make sentences from the given words. It is not necessary to read to your child at this stage. Words are read if you point at them with the mouse.
   

6. Graduation ceremony. The diploma can be printed.

   Only now you can exit the program. God bless! A small piece I like is not worth my long wanderings.

Let's move on to the "Magic Primer". I must say that this program came across to me first, and I considered it not very successful until I watched “The Cheerful ABC.”

After entering the program, you can select two modes. One is free, the other is not free. In both cases, the process is led by two different trolls.

I didn't like the proprietary version at all. The troll asks you to choose one from several letters. At the same time, he calls the name of the letter, and not the sound corresponding to it. The correct letter must be circled with the mouse. I must say that even I don’t always succeed the first time, but I have very good fine motor skills and a lot of experience working with a mouse. The child may even despair. Until you circle it, you won’t go further.

The free stage is much better. You can type any word. The program will read it. The letters and syllables come to life very nicely. Reading proceeds syllable by syllable, one might even say word by word, as is customary in Zaitsev’s method. In general, this moment from the program, in my opinion, can be used in parallel with the Zaitsev method as another option for “prescribing” words. There are cubes, there is a table, there is a cassette - why not use another program? But here, as always, there is a fly in the ointment. If the program does not know a word, then it “reads” it letter by letter, calling not the sounds, but the names of the letters. This is where a child who is taught basic reading gets confused! A brilliant solution would be, in addition to words, to include warehouses in the program! But: I wasn’t there when the script was written.

If the word is in the program, then everything is great. It is read correctly, first syllable by syllable, then as a whole. Then the corresponding picture is shown. The pictures are very cute. For the same word, the program can show different pictures each time. My child (3 years old) is delighted at this moment. He asks to show it again and again. But here too there is a fly in the ointment. Sometimes pictures are shown with a sentence including the given word. The word stands out. The idea is wonderful, but the proposals are very poorly chosen!

A couple more shortcomings. You cannot type a word of more than six letters. Not all words that are stored in the machine’s memory and can be read correctly have pictures. Very popular words are not included. For example, the machine does not know the words “baba” and “grandfather” and “reads” them be-a-be-a and de-e-de. It would be better not to try at all! But the words “grandmother”, “grandfather” and many of our other favorites: “crocodile”, “hippopotamus”, “tomato”: do not fit into the proposed framework. The machine also cannot read names.

And finally, immediately after the words, the program automatically switches to games with this word or with another, if the typed word is not stored in the machine’s memory. At this moment it sounds music and the same phrase is repeated every time: “Now play various games with the word.” Although we play very rarely, no more than once a week, and use the computer only as an aid to learning to read, we are already incredibly tired of this music and phrase. I even tried to find the corresponding sound file among the program files and replace it with an empty one, but, unfortunately, I couldn’t find it. After 10 words have been typed, you already want to hit the computer with something! The phrase is firmly ingrained in the memory. If there was no automatic transition and you could type words until you get bored, and then, at any convenient moment, switch to games, it would be much more interesting.

In principle, this program wins compared to the previous one precisely due to its flexibility. You can choose from 9 games. Games for every taste. But again there are disadvantages - letters are called in games by their names, little attention is paid to syllables. As a result, I only show my child three games. One is to assemble a word from puzzles (each letter has two parts). Another is to catch the right parrots in the right order. The third is to find a word among many others.

Among the game ideas I liked, there is also a hedgehog, which needs to choose a path in order to form a word. There is a snake that must crawl and eat the word spelled out. However, as these games progress, letter names are called out, which is something I try to avoid.

As a result, despairing of finding a suitable ready-made option, I use only individual elements for my child:

1. A homemade PowerPoint presentation demonstrating and naming warehouses in different orders (in a table, in voiced-voiceless pairs, etc., etc.). I have only partially completed the warehouses so far. A series of warehouses should, in my idea, end with the words securing these warehouses. The words are read and shown in order, then the whole picture is shown. I gradually select words and pictures.
2. "Magic ABC book" to write and read words. To avoid letter-by-letter reading by the program, I wrote out and offer those words that are included in the machine, are read correctly and have a picture. There is still more choice than in my presentation, although this is temporary, since in general the choice in the primer is still not enough.
3. Three named games from the "Magic ABC Book".
4. It would be nice to have more games with syllables from the ABC, but I don’t have the patience to scroll through the entire cartoon for a small piece.
5. At the very beginning, I would add even more phonics games. For example, like this:
   The word is called. You need to find among the suggested letters that appear in this word. I found it correctly - the letter takes its place in the word. I collected all the words and a picture is shown. And - more active. Not just show, but catch, grab, shoot, turn, guess.

Of course, this approach is inconvenient and there is clearly not enough interactivity. Therefore, I really want to find a decent program! I typed any word - the machine read it, showed me a picture, and gave me a good phrase. I indulged and moved on to games. Much more opportunities for the child to experiment! What you typed is what you read. A capable child will quickly grasp patterns on his own. Which, in fact, is what you should strive for in any training. But for now, we write about what we have :).

Intellectual development acts as the most important component of any human activity. In order to satisfy his needs, communicate, play, study and work, a person must perceive the world, pay attention to certain moments or components of activity, imagine what he needs to do, remember, think, and make judgments. Therefore, without the participation of intellectual abilities, human activity is impossible; they act as its integral internal moments. They develop in activity, and themselves represent special types of activity.

When starting pedagogical work with children, first of all, you need to understand what is given to the child by nature and what is acquired under the influence of the environment.

The development of human inclinations, their transformation into abilities is one of the tasks of training and education, which cannot be solved without knowledge and the development of intellectual processes. As they develop, the abilities themselves improve, acquiring the necessary qualities. Knowledge of the psychological structure of intellectual abilities and the laws of their formation is necessary for the correct choice of method of training and education. Scientists such as L.S. also made a great contribution to the study and development of cognitive processes. Vygodsky, A.N. Leontiev, J. Piaget S.L. Rubinstein, L.S. Sakharov, A.N. Sokolov, etc.

They developed various methods and theories for the formation of intellectual abilities. And now, in order to successfully develop them in educational activities, it is necessary to look for more modern means and methods of teaching. The use of a computer with its enormous universal capabilities will be one of these tools.

The development of intellectual abilities includes: the development of thinking (cognitive, creative), memory, attention, mental qualities (intelligence, flexibility, economy, independence), thinking skills (isolation, comparison, analysis, etc.), cognitive skills (seeing a contradiction, a problem , pose questions, put forward hypotheses, etc.), learning skills, formation of subject knowledge, skills, abilities

There are three main programs for developing intellectual abilities:

Training programs

Exercise equipment

Educational and game

Training programs

Computer-based training programs have many advantages over traditional teaching methods. They ensure the development of students’ intellectual abilities and activate their creative potential. These are programs that impart knowledge, form skills, educational or practical skills, providing the necessary level of assimilation.

Let's consider the most standard, so to speak, set of programs that they prefer to use for teaching children.

Educational programs for children can be classified, from the user’s point of view, according to a huge variety of criteria that must be taken into account when choosing a program. Experts identify 5 areas:

Logic and memory;

Fine hand motor skills;

Counting and reading;

Volumetric perception and imagination;

Musical ear and artistic taste.

A child’s logical thinking can be developed by programs in which it is necessary to operate not just with things, but also with their modified “copies”, silhouettes, for example. This uses memory. This could be puzzles or a “collect objects” game where you will need to remember objects and then find them in some space. An example of such programs could be “Logic for Kids”, Baby Logics, Cifiri, “Developing Memory”, Montessori, “Funny Pictures” - a tool package for creating and solving problems related to assembling on the screen an ordered set of objects with a text and graphic structure, etc. .d.

Hand motor skills are developed by all programs where control occurs by pressing certain keys or tilting the mouse in a certain direction. Kids will especially love colorful educational programs like “From the Screw” or “Air-Race”.

Counting and reading is perhaps the most developed category. These are MathMatic, Fun Arithmetic and much more.

Three-dimensional perception and imagination will be developed by training programs where you need to assemble a character or draw something specific. A good example is “Tower Box”, where given items need to be placed in a certain way, or “Snow Puzzles”, where you need to assemble a jigsaw puzzle.

Music and art programs will allow a child to easily learn notes, colors, tones, and learn to perceive art. Music editors and coloring books, of which there are a huge number on the World Wide Web, are good options.

- "Coloring" is a simple editor that is recommended to be included in teaching the first skills of working with graphic information. Using a cursor that takes on several different shapes and can change size, you can draw outline and filled drawings. The program is able to remember the history of the drawing. This allows you to use it as a tool for simple animation.

Exercise equipment

Programs designed to develop various skills and abilities.

Such programs include:

The “Assemble beads on a string” simulator - train fine motor skills, use the mouse to move parts across the screen, and also collect elements along given lines and in a certain sequence. The tasks are specially selected according to difficulty: first one color, then alternating colors, then alternating sizes, then alternating different shapes, and at the end there is a creative task of assembling your own beads. The lines are located horizontally and vertically, as well as in a circle.

Simulator "Houses" - The simulator is aimed at practicing and self-testing knowledge of the composition of numbers

"Brain Trainer" is a professionally developed program - training for the development and improvement of such important ones - Memory, Attention, Counting, Logic, Reaction.

"Intelligence Trainer" - the uniqueness of the program lies in the fact that each exercise stimulates the development of several abilities at once, and the proposed order of their implementation allows you to achieve maximum results with minimal time spent and load on the brain.

Educational and game programs

The programs are designed to create learning situations in which the activities of students are implemented in a playful way.

Analysis of the software shows the enormous potential of computer games for the general intellectual, emotional and personal development of children and their learning.

Classification of computer programs and games

1. Educational games for preschoolers.

These are computer programs designed to form and develop children’s general mental abilities, goal setting, fantasy, and imagination. They do not have a clearly defined purpose - they are tools for the child’s creativity and self-expression. Programs of this type include:

Graphic editors, “drawing programs”, “coloring books”, designers that provide the ability to freely draw on the screen with straight and curved lines, contour and solid geometric shapes and spots, painting closed areas, inserting ready-made drawings, erasing images;

Simple text editors for entering, editing, storing and printing text;

- “environment constructors” with a variety of functionality for the free movement of characters and other elements against the backdrop of scenery, including those that serve as the basis for the creation of “director’s” computer games;

- “music editors” for entering, storing and playing simple (usually single-voice) melodies in musical notation form;

- “fairy tale constructors”, combining the capabilities of elementary text and graphic editors.

Educational games

These are game programs of a didactic type, in which it is proposed to solve one or more didactic problems in a game form. This class includes games related to the formation of children's initial mathematical concepts; with teaching the alphabet, syllable and word formation, writing through reading and reading through writing, native and foreign languages; with the formation of ideas based on orientation on the plane and in space; with aesthetic, moral education; environmental education; with the basics of systematization and classification, synthesis and analysis of concepts. “Garfield for preschoolers”, “Garfield for schoolchildren”, “Fold the pattern”, “Kaleidoscope”.

Games - experiments

In this type of game, the goal and rules of the game are not explicitly stated, but are hidden in the plot or control method. Therefore, in order to achieve success in solving a game problem, a child must, through search actions, come to an awareness of the goal and method of action in the game.

Fun games

These games do not explicitly contain game or developmental objectives. They simply provide an opportunity for children to have fun, carry out search activities and see the result on the screen in the form of some kind of “micro-cartoon”. "Finding Nemo", "Elka"

Computer diagnostic games

Developmental games, educational games, and experiments can be considered diagnostic, since an experienced teacher and, especially, a psychologist will be able to tell a lot about the child based on the way they solve computer problems.

Logic games.

These games are aimed at developing logical thinking.

Chess games: checkers, chess, etc.

Logical educational educational games: labyrinths, guess the number, word, tic-tac-toe, etc.

The use of basic programs for the development of intellectual abilities contributes to the successful psychological adaptation of children to school conditions, to successful socialization in society, to increasing their level of development, and to achieving a higher intellectual level.

In order to optimize the process of development of cognitive activity and speech development of preschoolers, speech therapists and speech pathologists began to use educational computer programs, with the help of which there are real opportunities for high-quality individualization of education for children with speech disorders, which has a positive effect on the motivation of learning, its effectiveness and accelerates the correction process speech.

Information and communication technologies— these are pedagogical technologies that use special methods, software and multimedia tools (film, audio and video, computers, telecommunication networks) to work with information.

A person receives 80% of information through the organs of vision, 15% of information through hearing, and the remaining 5% through touch, smell and taste.

The introduction of information technology makes it possible to move from an explanatory and illustrative method of teaching to an activity-based one. This, in turn, is a huge potential for gaming and learning opportunities, a means of optimizing the process of speech correction. Now in the educational process the child is an active subject.

It should be noted that a computer is not valuable in itself! A computer will not replace a specialist; it is only an auxiliary training material. A positive result from the use of ICT can only be in the interaction of the child, teacher and computer.

Benefits of information and communication technologies

• Offered information in a clear and attractive form
• Increases children's motivation and interest in activities
• The process of memorizing information accelerates and becomes meaningful and long-lasting
• The time required to develop skills and functions is significantly reduced.

Psychological capabilities of information and communication technologies

• Use of various analyzing systems in the process of execution and control of activities
• Activation of compensatory mechanisms based on visual perception
• Coordinating the work of the motor, auditory and visual analyzers
• Teaching children self-control skills
• Resources for the development of higher mental functions: symbolic and planning functions of thinking and speech

Educational opportunities of ICT for a child

• The process of understanding one’s own speech skills is being formed
• There is a desire to correct the mistake seen
• Negativism about repeated repetition of speech material disappears
• The child masters models of communication with the characters of the computer program
• A child learns basic computer operations
• Gets the opportunity to experiment, model, compare, classify
• The child himself sees the result of his work
• Imperceptibly moves from play activities to educational ones
• The child’s emotional tone increases, which helps to quickly transfer the material being studied into long-term memory.

Educational opportunities of ICT for teachers

• Using a game form of learning - avoiding routine work
• Systematic and activity-based approach to correction
• Differentiated approach (selection of material of varying degrees of complexity, easy to change the degree of difficulty and nature of the task)
• Objectivity – problems become “visual” for the child, parents and teacher, visual recording of initial, intermediate and final data
• Individual and educational route - you can see how to transform the identified problems and work tasks
• Effective and flexible reward system (computer characters, sound and visual effects)
• Collaboration between teacher and child in interesting activities.

Educational benefits of using ICT

• The time spent working with paper media is reduced.
• Less effort and time when preparing visual and didactic support for classes.
• Possibility of creating a database and media library.
• Possibility of remote participation in Internet conferences, forums and training in advanced training courses.
• Expanding the plot content of traditional gaming activities.
• Visualization of the acoustic characteristics of sounds.
• Expanding the range of non-verbal tasks.

Speech therapist media library.

I. Reporting documentation, methodological literature and teaching aids in electronic version. Computer programs for speech correction. Multimedia presentations.

II. Speech therapy chants and phrases on audio discs. Files with recordings of children's speech at the beginning and end of classes. Audio - ABC. Photos and video materials.

ICT is used at different stages of speech therapy work.

Preparatory stage:

• When performing articulation gymnastics.
• For the development of speech breathing.
• Like a visual simulator.
• When preparing your hand for writing.
• To be included in the lesson.

Automation stage:

• To continue the game, you need to pronounce the sound correctly.

Differentiation stage:

• Tasks for classifying words with the studied sound.
• Recommendations for parents.
• Presentation with speech tasks.

Computer didactic game - KDI.

KDI is a type of gaming activity and interaction between a player and a computer, limited by rules and aimed at achieving a learning goal.

Requirements for a computer didactic game

• Feasibility of CDI
• Optimal combination of CDI with other teaching methods
• Clear rules
• Dynamics of CDI
• Solving didactic goals
• Clear assessment system
• Possibility of reflection after the game

Hardware and software complex “Delfa” – 142

Created in 1994. This is a simulator for speech rehabilitation and correction of sound pronunciation for children and adults.

Speech therapy simulator “Delfa” – 142

It uses a non-standard sound processing device in the form of an additional converter that replaces modern sound cards and runs on the DOS operating system.

The sounding speech is captured by a microphone and converted and transmitted as a signal to the processor - displayed on the computer screen in the form of informative images with animation elements - stored on the screen for any time.

The set includes 63 basic dictionaries with a total number of words of about 4.5 thousand. These are thematic dictionaries (“Clothing”, “Food”, “School”...) and dictionaries built on a phonemic principle (“second row vowels”, “Soft sign”).
