Information Technologies in Education: Forming the Competences of the Future

Specialists in the field of programming create a huge flow of software, which is mainly aimed at attracting children to specific software products that have a developing effect, rather, as a side effect. The developing effect is not diagnosed in such programs, but it is often declared by the developers. Scientific and methodological response of the pedagogical community to information challenges in the field of preschool education was the creation of the methodology of author's children's animation and the corresponding educational module. In the article two important competences of preschool children are considered, which are basic in relation to many other competences formed at an older age: developed imaginative thinking and developed research abilities. The development of these competences projects as a methodical waymark for the technical development of the methodology of author's children's animation.Thereby, the purpose of the article is to justify the creation of methods for author's children's animation that determines the development of imaginative thinking and research abilities of preschool-age children, taking into account the requirements of the modern information society.To achieve this goal, the following methods were used: content analysis; method of contrastive-comparative analysis of scientific and methodical materials; method of system analysis; method of mathematical and statistical data processing; expert appraisement, generalization of research results.Based on the results of the study, the theoretical foundations of the preschool-age child's competence were determined, a pilot study of the development of preschoolers' competencies, the development and introduction of the educational module "Multstudio I CREATE THE WORLD" into the practice of pre-school pedagogy as a potentially effective means of developing imaginative thinking and research abilities of children, development of recommendations for software providing multstudios in kindergarten.

The Creation

In the article, developing preschool education is considered in the logic of game activity. The authors followed L.S. Vygotsky is considered an imaginary situation as the criterion for the game and distinguishes two-positional nature as its essential characteristic. The article proves that the game in cultural-historical psychology has characteristics similar to the zone of proximal development. Developing preschool education is considered from the point of view of creating conditions for the formation and development of bi-subjectivity. According to the authors, developing preschool education should solve three problems - the task of forming psychological readiness for playing activity, the task of learning the game, and the task of using the game as a learning tool. There are two patterns that determine the developmental nature of learning at preschool age - this is the creation of situations in which the child should realize a strong-willed effort and purposeful development of a central psychological neoplasm.

The Creation

The subject of research is the development of a method for constructing WEB-services based on cartographic models of airports for organizing passenger flows in conditions of quarantine zoning. The object of the research is the process of managing passenger flows at airports. The objective of the work is to improve the organization of passenger traffic at airports under quarantine conditions with the use of WEB-services based on cartographic models of airport buildings. Conclusions. Using the analysis results of the world's airports activities over the past five years, a steady trend has been revealed towards an increase of the number of flights, and, consequently, growth of the passenger traffic at airports. Also forecasts of air traffic development trends in Europe in the next five years are analyzed, which indicate the direction towards the growth of air traffic. An analysis of the quarantine restrictions impact in connection with the spread of COVID-19 was carried out, which showed that, despite a significant decrease in passenger traffic at airports in the world due to quarantine restrictions, there will be a significant increase in passenger traffic after quarantine relief. Based on the above, it was concluded that it is urgent to improve the organization of passenger traffic at airports under quarantine conditions through the use of WEB-services based on cartographic models of airport buildings. At the same time, the feasibility of using GIS technologies at airports analysis was made, as well as a review of modern information technologies that are currently used to organize the operation of airports in conditions of quarantine zoning. A method for constructing routes for organizing passenger flows at airports in conditions of quarantine zoning has been developed. The methodology envisages for the creation of airports passenger traffic maps using the most modern cartographic software products ArcGIS and ArcGIS Online, it contains recommendations for using a billing Wi-Fi network to track the movement of passengers in airport buildings, and, finally, envisages for the creation of WEB services for cartographic models of airports terminals. Developed with the use of proposed methodology, WEB-services for organizing passenger flows at airports in conditions of quarantine zoning, are convenient and ergonomic in terms of usage by workers of airports and airlines. Moreover, passengers can also quickly receive partial information sufficient to organize their movement in the airport terminal in accordance with quarantine restrictions.

The Creation

The current ecological state of the environment determines the relevance of environmental education for the younger generation. The problem of ecological upbringing of children of preschool age is considered in the researches of many scholars and teachers. Based on the study of scientific works, we identified three structural components of the formation of natural and ecological competence of preschool children: cognitive, activity and value-motivational. American scientists, studying the problem of children's attitude to nature, offer the concept of «biofilia» and «biophobia». The scientific approaches to the interpretation of the concept of «pedagogical technology» are generalized and formulated as the creation of an optimally organized educational process, developed on the basis of a systematic approach and aimed at the planned result. It is proved that for the formation of natural and ecological competence of preschool children, it is necessary to use traditional and non-traditional pedagogical technologies in order to implement systematic and targeted educational impact on children, using current methods. Studying the peculiarities of the formation of the ecological and natural competence of preschool children, the necessity of creation and proper use of developing ecological environment in pre-school establishments, organization of children's activities in nature, as well as systematic work with children was clarified. The experience of using pedagogical technologies for the ecological upbringing of preschool children, in particular the creation of an ecological footprint, the technology of regional studies and tourism activities, the experimental research activity of preschoolers in nature and the technology of using the author's fairy tale, which allows raising the level of ecological upbringing of preschoolers and forming the natural and ecological competence of a preschool child, is briefly highlighted. The analysis of the experience of using environmental technologies from different countries proves that the main task of preschool education is to promote environmental education and awareness of preschool children.

Communicative Abilities

The goals of modern preschool education imply the creation of conditions for promoting the development of the child's personality, including his communication skills. Their lack of development creates barriers in the process of relationships between preschoolers with peers and adults, and can also lead to problems of self-development, social maladjustment and personal isolation. In children with disabilities, persistent violations of all components of the communication process are observed, which manifest themselves in a decrease in the communicative and cognitive need for interaction with peers and adults. They acquire many skills, including communication, much later, compared to a normally developing peer. In this regard, the need for purposeful development of communication skills in preschoolers with disabilities is becoming increasingly clear. The research methods used were "Observation of the manifestations of communicative abilities in preschoolers" (A.M. Shchetinina, M. A. Nikiforova), the sociometric method "Two Houses" (T. D. Marcinkovskaya), "Diagnostics of the child's communicative abilities "Plot pictures" (N. E. Verax), "Plot pictures" (R. R. Kalinina), "Observation of the manifestation of independence" (A.M. Shchetinina). The data was processed using the Statistica 6.0 software package and the Mann–Whitney U-test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Based on the data obtained, it can be concluded that the hypotheses that children of older preschool age with disabilities who attend a group of combined orientation have disorders in the development of communication skills, as well as a correctional and developmental program based on the method of fairy-tale therapy, can overcome the existing communication disorders in preschoolers with disabilities. As evidenced by the results obtained using the methods of mathematical statistics.

The actualization of the creative imagination is considered as one of the key problems of developing preschool education. The purpose of the study was to identify the features of the development of creative imagination, as the basis for designing individual educational routes for children of senior preschool age. The sample consisted of children of the senior preschool age of preschool education organizations of Irkutsk — 45 children. In the study standardized methods were used: V. Sinelnikova, V. Kudryavtseva under the title "How to save the hare", as well as the technique of E. Tunik "Consequences of situations", O.M. Dyachenko "Finish drawing of figures". The results of empirical research have shown the prevalence of medium and low levels of development of creative imagination. Low level of creative imagination was revealed in 40% of children, average in 44% and high in 16%. Characteristic features of the creative imagination of senior preschoolers are: insufficient detail of images, a small productivity of ideas, difficulties in solving problem situations, lack of independence in the implementation of ideas. The article discusses the revealed tendencies in the development of the imagination of modern children, which differ somewhat from the data previously presented in the psychological literature. An effective means of developing the skills of preschool children to overcome problem situations and resolve them, as well as the ability to anticipate the consequences of the situation on the basis of its recreation and imagination is to create conditions for story-role games in groups. According to the research, it turned out that the availability of gaming equipment reaches just over half of the recommended list of gaming equipment in groups. The longevity of the environment, we believe, is also a factor of the scarcity of the development of creative imagination, as the highest mental function in preschool childhood.
