How to choose a topic for self-education?
There are only two main criteria:
- requirement to study the topic from the outside (formulated in regulatory documents, in particular, in the Federal State Educational Standard for Preschool Education);
- the work of the teacher himself (lack of experience and knowledge to resolve a particular pedagogical situation).
Thus, before choosing a topic, you need to familiarize yourself with the regulatory framework for preschool education and analyze your own experience.
According to the Federal State Educational Standard, a preschool child develops in the following areas:
- social and communicative;
- educational;
- speech;
- artistic and aesthetic;
- physical.

RELEVANCE:
Today, design occupies a special place in preschool education. In modern pedagogy, the project method is used along with systematic subject teaching as a component of a productive education system. The main goal of the project method in preschool institutions is the development of the child’s free creative personality, which is determined by the developmental tasks and tasks of children’s research activities.
The project method can be represented as a way of organizing a pedagogical process based on the interaction of a teacher, a student and his parents, a method of interaction with the environment, step-by-step practical activities to achieve a set goal (Kiseleva L.S., Danilina T.A., Pakhomova N. Yu.), i.e. This is a way to achieve a didactic goal through a detailed development of the problem, which should end in a very real, tangible practical result, formalized in one way or another.
A project is a goal accepted and mastered by children, relevant to them; it is a children’s initiative, it is a specific practical creative activity, a step-by-step movement towards a goal, it is a method of pedagogically organized development of the environment by a child. The project activity of a preschool child is “an activity to create, on the initiative of the child, together with adults, a socially significant product” (N.E. Veraksa).
Thus, the goal of organizing project activities for preschoolers is to create conditions for the child’s development that open up opportunities for his positive socialization, his personal development, the development of initiative and creative abilities based on cooperation with adults and peers in the process of project activities.
The choice of the topic of project activity is not accidental, since in middle age children have no life experience, an insufficient level of development of intellectual and creative abilities, which does not allow them to fully demonstrate independence in choosing a problem and solving it. Cognitive interest is increased and only through the organization of project activities can the child’s needs for independent activity be satisfied.
And also project activities make the educational system of a preschool educational institution open to the active participation of parents.

How to work by topic
Work on each of the listed topics begins with an analysis of the literature (an approximate list of sources is given below). When reading books, the teacher identifies the main thoughts, ideas, and judgments of the authors. So, taking up the topic of using didactic games to develop safe life skills in children, the teacher:
- draws attention to the peculiarities of organizing didactic games in different age groups;
- content of work on life safety in preschool educational institutions.
Then the teacher thinks through or also takes from books potentially dangerous situations that need to be avoided, and based on the knowledge gained, compiles a card index of games. He develops games himself or takes them from sources. Systematized materials are tested in practice.
Self-education
Independence in play is formed gradually, in the process of playful communication with adults, older children, and peers. The development of independence largely depends on how the child’s life is organized in the game. Waiting until he starts playing on his own means deliberately hindering the development of a child’s personality.
One of the important pedagogical conditions that contribute to the development of play in a young child is the selection of games by age. But toys that adults like do not always have educational value for children.
For a game to be interesting for a child (and even for an adult, who will most likely often be his partner) it must be quite understandable and simple and logical according to the rules. The goal of the game should also be simple, understandable and, in principle, achievable. At the same time, it should have a very large, controlled variation in the development of the game’s plot and events. And the player (even a small one) must consciously choose and try to implement some specific option that is advantageous from his point of view. But at the same time, there must be a large element of chance, which makes the game emotional, levels out skill and makes winning possible even for a beginner. After all, if one player always wins and the other loses, the “always losing” player quickly loses the desire to play. And if the “master” is forced to give in all the time, the desire to play with him disappears. Randomness puts players in almost identical conditions. Luck gives chances to everyone, but who managed to realize them? And when a child beats “dad himself” and not because he gave in, but in a “fair battle” - there is no limit to delight.
The developmental side of the game cannot be discounted. A child, playing a board game, even the simplest one, develops his imagination, learns to count quickly, learns to make a decision and begins to understand the relationship between decision-making, his actions and their results. His erroneous actions are obvious to himself and he is already beginning to think about how not to repeat them or avoid them, he understands which situation is bad and which is good. He develops not only tactical, but also strategic thinking.
When purchasing a game, it is important to pay attention not only to novelty, attractiveness, cost, but also to pedagogical expediency. Before you make your next purchase, it's a good idea to talk to your son or daughter about what kind of game he needs. Often girls play only with dolls, so they are often deprived of the joy of playing games that develop ingenuity, resourcefulness, and creativity. Girls play with dolls either alone or only with girls. They have no common interests with boys and there are no prerequisites for the emergence of friendly relationships between children. Boys usually play with cars and children's weapons. Such toys also limit the circle of communication with girls. It’s better, when we are adults, not to divide games into “girls” and “boys”.
