Kindergarten project. Volunteering

Project “Little Volunteers”
TYPE OF PROJECT: educational, educational, developmental. According to the profile of knowledge: interdisciplinary project. By the nature of coordination: with open coordination. By level of contacts: at the preschool educational institution level. PROJECT DURATION: long-term. September 2022 – June 2022. PROJECT PARTICIPANTS: children, preschool teachers, parents. RELEVANCE OF THE PROJECT: Relevance. Working with young children, we are annually faced with the problem of their adaptation to the conditions of kindergarten. The child’s adaptation to new social conditions is very painful. After all, a child’s admission to a preschool educational institution is accompanied by a change in his environment, daily routine, nutritional pattern, and system of behavioral reactions (dynamic stereotype) of the child, which leads to the need to adapt to new living conditions and establish social connections. When a child comes to kindergarten for the first time, a serious restructuring of all his relationships with people occurs. The preschool institution is the first to open the world of social and public life to the child. It is known that changing social relationships presents significant difficulties for a child. Anxiety and emotional tension are associated with the absence of people close to the child, with changes in the environment and usual conditions. Many children become restless, whiny, and withdrawn. This sudden change in living conditions can be accompanied by difficult experiences, a decrease in play and speech activity, and seriously affects the child’s health. During this period, the child experiences a deterioration in appetite, up to a complete refusal to eat, sleep and urination disturbances, sudden mood swings, frequent breakdowns and whims. The baby often gets sick, which is primarily due to the child’s reluctance to go to kindergarten. Such children feel insecure in a group and practically do not play with anyone. Accepting new children into the group is associated with some difficulties for teachers. This is due to the fact that several newcomers are immediately brought into the group, constantly in need of attention and affection. This does not allow the teacher to provide the necessary contact with children and find the right approach to them. Every year we asked ourselves how to facilitate the adaptation of young children, what to use to organize successful adaptation. Watching the kids on walks together with older preschoolers, we noticed that the kids look at the older children with interest, and sometimes on their own initiative they approach them, begin to communicate, and the older children do not push the kids away, they show elements of care and attention. To organize the successful adaptation of children, we decided to use the technology of volunteering for older preschoolers, based on the fact that young children do not perceive older children as “alien adults” or as a “threat to themselves.” Having teamed up with teachers of senior preschool children, we decided to develop and implement the “It’s Fun to Play Together” project. THE NOVELTY OF THE EXPERIENCE lies in the fact that the creation of a volunteer movement is expected in a kindergarten with the aim of organizing the successful adaptation of young children. PROJECT IDEA: The creation of a volunteer movement for children will lead to a more active formation of socially significant personal qualities in preschoolers, such as mercy, responsibility, independence, initiative, and the ability to cooperate in a team. HYPOTHESIS: Involving older preschoolers in organizing the lives of young children in kindergarten will significantly facilitate the process of their adaptation to the conditions of the kindergarten and will contribute to the formation of cultural, hygienic and social-communicative skills. THEORETICAL BASIS OF THE PROBLEM In Russia, volunteering in the modern sense began to take shape only in the late 80s and early 90s. XX century. Today it is reflected in the following documents: the Constitution of the Russian Federation (1993), the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (1995), the Law of the Russian Federation “On Charitable Activities and Charitable Organizations” (1995), the Law of the Russian Federation “On Public Associations” (1995). ), the draft Federal Law “On Philanthropy, Patronage and Volunteering”, the Concept of “promoting the development of charitable activities and volunteerism”, which were developed by the Union of Charitable Organizations of Russia. Volunteer (French volontaire - volunteer) is any individual, including foreign citizens and stateless persons, who contributes to the development of volunteerism by carrying out volunteer activities. Volunteering is a wide range of activities, including traditional forms of mutual aid and self-help, formal service provision and other forms of civic participation, that are carried out voluntarily for the benefit of the general public without expectation of monetary reward. It is noted that the issues of educating the social activity of the individual have always been the focus of attention of domestic pedagogy. Ideas about nurturing the social activity of the younger generation are reflected in the works of A.S. Makarenko, N.K. Krupskaya, V.A. Sukhomlinsky, A.S. Makarenko. Modern theoretical and methodological approaches to the development of social activity of young people are reflected in the works of M.I. Rozhkov; more and more studies are appearing in domestic science in which the phenomenon of social personality is considered in the context of socialization (M.V. Poddubnaya, M.V. Demidenko, etc. .) Leading modern psychologists, teachers, sociologists and philosophers believe that youth voluntary social activities today will not only help solve many social problems of society, but also contribute to the development of socially significant qualities of young people, the formation of their active life position. Based on the analysis, we can conclude that the literature pays sufficient attention to the issues of volunteering and social activity of school-age children and teenagers. There is no educational and methodological literature aimed at developing the volunteer movement in preschool age. PROJECT OBJECTIVE: To develop and implement a set of pedagogical activities that ensure the participation of older preschoolers in the process of adaptation of children to the conditions of a preschool institution, in the process of developing cultural, hygienic and socio-communicative skills of young children.

RELEVANCE

Currently, teaching staff of preschool educational institutions are intensively introducing innovative technologies . Therefore, the main task of preschool teachers pedagogical technologies that optimally correspond to the goal of personal development.

Preschool age is traditionally considered a period of intense socialization. Modern children live and develop in completely new sociocultural conditions. The extreme employment of parents, the generation gap, the isolation of the child in the family and other trends negatively affect the socialization of modern children. Effective socialization is one of the main conditions for a child’s life in society in general and the child’s personal readiness for school in particular.

In kindergartens, teachers implement the effective socialization “ Children Volunteers ”

, which involves communication between children of different ages and assistance from older preschoolers to younger ones.
Teachers help older preschoolers teach kids how to play various games, dress, sculpt, draw, etc.
Volunteering is a synonym for the word “volunteer”

.
Therefore, volunteering is first and foremost an initiative.
Children begin to develop an active life position, the ability to navigate in society, live among people and, if possible, help them. Volunteering is free help; as a result of their work, the child receives not material payment, but “payment”

as inner satisfaction

The purpose of the technology “ Children volunteers ”

This is the development of a preschool volunteer movement in a preschool educational institution , the main goal of which is to educate a spiritual and moral personality with an active life position and creative potential, capable of self-improvement and harmonious interaction with other people.

Tasks of educational technology

«Children volunteers»

the following:

Development of independence and responsibility in preschoolers, communication skills in a group of different ages

Creation of a development situation in which the transfer of experience (game, cognitive, social)

in the natural environment from older to younger

The ability to show initiative when choosing an occupation and participants in joint activities

The kindergarten uses “ Children Volunteers ” technology

, which involves communication between children of different ages, assistance from older preschoolers to younger ones.
At the first stage, teachers introduce volunteer pupils how to teach children to play various games, dress, sculpt, and draw. For the first time, the children truly begin to feel like the oldest among other children in kindergarten. By helping younger preschool children, child volunteers develop a sense of “adulthood”
, a desire and desire to solve new, more complex problems of cognition, communication, and activity arises. The children realize their responsibility, receive inner satisfaction from their work, and their self-esteem and self-confidence increase.

To organize and implement this technology, it is necessary to provide older children with the opportunity to help or teach younger children at every scheduled moment.

For example: children of a preparatory group for school (at the request of the teacher)

They can include children in a role-playing game, go to their group and teach them this game. You can invite older children to teach the kids a lesson, help them get dressed, or teach them a poem or song.

Such communication between different ages is especially successful during the “Club Hour”

, when older
children take the younger ones by the hand and walk with them throughout the entire territory of the kindergarten, indoors or on a walk.
It is also necessary to draw up a daily and weekly plan for older children to visit younger children. Select a group of children who want to play with the kids.

Organize a “School of Volunteers ”

, that is, specially train older children in the following programs:

"Let's teach kids to play"

,

“We will teach you how to resolve conflicts”

,

"We'll teach you how to dress"

,

“We know how to help conduct classes”

.

And most importantly, the teaching staff must have a person who is actually responsible for the implementation of this technology , monitoring the processes occurring among older and younger children and informing all teachers

Reading poems for the holiday

Children love to act as helpers. Moreover, this title must be earned by your behavior and positive attitude towards this work. Children should receive inner satisfaction and feel proud of the work done. Don't expect material rewards. This is the main essence of this movement.

We can conclude:

- children’s participation in the volunteer movement will help them master the basic competence without which a person cannot live - communicative competence;

- they will learn to make contact, express their point of view, listen, understand and accept the point of view of the interlocutor, and lead a discussion;

— They will be ready to solve social problems and behave adequately in various life situations, including conflict ones.

At the same time, it is important that they not only develop a negative attitude towards bad things, but also are provided with methods of social activity that allow them to move from passive disapproval to active actions among their peers.

Innovative technologies help children not only gain social experience, but also strengthen the desire of children not to miss a single exciting day in kindergarten.

Project “Volunteer is more than a profession!”

The project is aimed at introducing preschoolers to charity and the profession of volunteering. Relevance : Volunteer is more than a profession, it is a calling! Volunteer (from English volunteer - volunteer) is a person who works on a voluntary basis and does not receive payment for his work.

Volunteering is a modern profession, the study of which is not included in the compulsory education of preschool children. However, in accordance with the Federal State Educational Standards requirements, it is necessary to develop in children such qualities as: assimilation of norms and values ​​accepted in society, including moral and ethical values; development of communication and interaction of the child with adults and peers; development of social and emotional intelligence, emotional responsiveness, empathy, formation of readiness for joint activities with peers, formation of a respectful attitude and a sense of belonging to one’s family and to the community of children and adults in the Organization; formation of positive attitudes towards various types of work and creativity. That is why the project “Volunteer is more than a profession!” was organized in our kindergarten. Volunteering teaches you to help those in need, without reminders or prompts; for a volunteer, such qualities as hard work, kindness towards people around you, care and respect for nature, responsiveness and mercy are valuable. How to encourage children to develop such qualities? This project will introduce not only children, but also parents and preschool teachers to this profession, help them learn about charitable organizations in our city, and apply their knowledge and skills for the benefit of the weak and needy.
