To date, in the programs implemented according to the Montessori method, the section “Physical Education” has not been adapted. The section is aimed at developing the child's general culture, physical qualities and basic motor skills. In the process of physical education, the values of Maria Montessori are not realized. The Montessori pedagogical system is among the most relevant ones today as modern education is focused on the individualization of learning. The development of health in preschool children depends on their well-organized physical education, which should be directed towards the children's harmonious development and considered in an integrative relationship with the various sections of the preschool education program (artisti c, aesthetic, educational, verbal and socio-communicative development). The aim of the research is to develop the structure and content of the model of physical education of preschool children in the Montessori pedagogical system and check its effectiveness in a pedagogical experiment. To reach this aim, the following research methods were used: pedagogical observations, modeling, pedagogical testing, pedagogical experiment, mathematical and statistical data processing. In the course of the pedagogical experiment, a control (15 girls and 15 boys) and an experimental (15 girls and 15 boys) group were formed; a total of 60 five- and six-year-old pupils of the Montessori preschool educational institution in Tomsk took part in the study. To assess the effectiveness of the developed model, the following tests were selected: shuttle run 3x5 m, standing long jump, medicine ball throw, seated forward bends, ball catching at a distance of 5 meters. The model of preschoolers' physical education based on the integration of personality-oriented, activity-based, synergetic and technological approaches in the Montessori pedagogical system has shown its effectiveness. The research shows a positive dynamics of indicators reflecting the level of preschoo lers' motor readiness after the pedagogical experiment. At the end of the exp eriment, when comparing the indices of motor readiness demonstrated by the experimental group before and after the experiment, statistically significant differences were revealed in motor tests (ball catching at a distance of 5 m, shuttle run (3x5 m), medicine ball throwing), which indicates the effectiveness of the proposed model of five- and six-year-old preschoolers' physical education.

In preschool age there is a formation of the child's personality, the formation of his physical and spiritual culture - the basis of harmonious development, as the beauty of the human soul and healthy body. Today, one of the main tasks of improving preschool education is to raise a harmoniously developed, perfect, healthy child, able to fully realize their spiritual, physical, intellectual and moral capabilities. An important area of ​​physical education of preschool children is the use of various forms and tools for their harmonious development, among which an important place is given to play activities Purpose: to characterize the specific functions of the concept of play activities in the physical education of preschool children. Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of literature sources, induction and deduction, abstraction, comparison, classification and systematization. Results: specific functions are indicated as a certain category of system approach. It is represented by independent properties and has the purpose of describing the system of game activity within the physical education, which should be carried out to achieve the generalized goal. The group of specific functions of the concept of play activity in physical education includes the competence, interdependence, effectiveness and density, which are largely implemented by the author's concept and justified by us and implemented depending on the specifics of play in the relevant group of educational institutions. The fundamental changes taking place in the modern cultural and educational space, social demands and needs confirm the idea of the priority of childhood as the most responsible period of personality development. It is in preschool age that the formation of a child's personality takes place, the formation of his physical and spiritual culture - the basis of harmonious development, as the beauty of the human soul and a healthy body.

Effective Use

Craft therapy (or ergotherapy) in a physical rehabilitation of children with musculoskeletal system disorders has a great importance both as a method of overcoming existing motor disorders and as the basis for the future successful socialization of these children. In the available literature, the issues of craft therapy use in combination with physical education of pre-schoolers in various institutions of preschool education are insufficiently and non-systematically covered. This makes this article relevant. The article discusses the methodological possibilities of using the author's work simulator the "Ant" for the correction of hand dysfunctions of pre-schoolers by means of physical education and craft therapy. The main technical characteristics of the simulator and the features of its manufacture are presented. The characteristics of the "Ant" versatility and its multifunctionality are given, which ensures the success of its use in a kindergarten of any kind. The properties of the "Ant" stand for improving the psychophysical development of pre-schoolers are listed. The formulated methods of using the “Ant” simulator and the methodological techniques for correcting the main hand functions of the pre-schoolers (tested in the process of the ascertaining experiment) have a particular value. The main methods included the ones as follows: game stimulation, objectivity (subject-manipulative activity), instrumental logic, hand-eye coordination, an individually differentiated approach to the correction of hand disorders of children by means of physical education and craft therapy. Each of the listed methods includes a number of methodological techniques that increase the effectiveness of corrective instrumental-subject manipulations. The prospects of further research in this area are seen in the elaboration of new work simulators for preschool children suffering from disorders of the musculoskeletal system alongside the creation of the necessary methodological support for their effective use.

Abstract Dynamic games can contribute to the growth of the efficiency, motivation in developing the quality of the movement for children with special educational needs, if the psycho-physiological particularities in the training of these children are followed, if the most efficient methods and means of achieving the purpose, a good staging of the training process with a proper dosage of the effort and with a growth of the quality in organizing and leading the activity are used. The purpose of the paper was to select among the movement games the most efficient ones for the developing of the movement quality, to explain them during physical education classes and the obtained results to demonstrate their efficiency in achieving the goal. To achieve this study, we started from the following hypothesis: we assume that by predominantly using the dynamic games during the physical education classes we can achieve a growth of the indices of the movement quality in children with special educational needs. Methods and materials: In this aspect, we built a set of tests (Long jump, speed running – 50 meters, Shuttle run 5x10m, throwing rounders ball) with which we operated in two periodical assessments during an entire school year. The place of this study was at the “St. Andrew” Inclusive Education Scholar Center from Gura Humorului. These two classes of students had one weekly hour of physical education in their timetable. Results and conclusions: Using the results of the physical assays as reference elements, the accumulations of the pupils during the research concerning the movement quality had emerged. In conclusion, if age and individual particularities of the pupils, didactical canons are followed, if proper preparatory games are selected and the planned activity happens in a systematic way with responsibility, the results won’t hesitate to appear.

China General Administration of Sport has published and adopted the National Physical Fitness Measurement (NPFM—preschool children version) since 2000. However, studies on intraday reliability, sensitivity, and minimum detectable change (MDC) are lacking. This study aimed to investigate and compare the reliability, sensitivity, and MDC values of NPFM in preschool children between the ages of 3.5 to 6 years. Six items of NPFM including 10-m shuttle run, standing long jump, balance beam walking, sit-and-reach, tennis throwing, and double-leg timed hop, were tested for 209 Chinese kindergarten children in Beijing in the morning. Intraday relative reliability was tested using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC3,1) with a 95% confidence interval while absolute reliability was expressed in standard error of measurement (SEM) and percentage of coefficient of variation (CV%). Test sensitivity was assessed by comparing the smallest worthwhile change (SWC) with SEM, while MDC values with 95% confidence interval (MDC95) were established. Measurements in most groups, except 10-m shuttle run test (ICC3,1: 0.56 to 0.74 [moderate]) in the 3.5 to 5.5-year-old groups, balance beam test in 4- and 5-year-old (ICC3,1: 0.33 to 0.35 [poor]) and 5.5-year-old (ICC3,1 = 0.68 [moderate]) groups, and double-leg timed hop test (ICC3,1 = 0.67 [moderate]) in the 4.5-year-old group, demonstrated good to excellent relative reliability (ICC3,1: 0.77 to 0.97). The balance beam walking test showed poor absolute reliability in all the groups (SEM%: 11.76 to 22.28 and CV%: 15.40 to 24.78). Both standing long jump and sit-and-reach tests demonstrated good sensitivity (SWC > SEM) in all subjects group, boys, and girls. Pairwise comparison revealed systematic bias with significantly better performance in the second trial (p<0.01) of all the tests with moderate to large effect size.

The main goal of this paper is to suggest possible models of integration of preschool mathematics and physical education in accordance with characteristics of children’s cognitive development in this period, goals and objectives of preschool education and specifics of these subject areas in working with preschool children. It was investigated “why it is necessary to integrate teaching content of these specific subjects”, the different integration models, similar goals and learning objectives were specified, as well as appropriate types of integration suitable for linking the content of these subjects. Through the complete integration of related goals, as well as by observing mathematics through physical education, and physical education through mathematics, various possibilities of integrating teaching materials of these subjects are presented through specific examples as well as the appropriate instructions for their design. Integration of these subject areas is useful because due to the abstract nature of mathematical concepts, physical education allows children to learn about, explore and use to apply key mathematical concepts and language from another angle.

The article provides an overview of scientific publications of Kazakh scientists related to innovations in pedagogical education, development of innovative activities of teachers of preschool organizations. The authors conducted an analysis of the available studies on preschool education and upbringing in recent years, concluding that recently in preschool institutions of Kazakhstan more attention has been paid into education rather than upbringing. Thus, innovative education is considered as a new pedagogy, new educational processes and technologies aimed at a specific result, and the mental development of preschool children is influenced trough the game, the presence of communicative skills and physical education. At the same time, it is important to create conditions for the development of children’s individual and personal abilities, and the main reasons for the introduction of innovative technologies in the educational process are conservatism and emotional burnout of teachers.

The purpose of the article is to determine the organizational and methodological conditions of organizing physical education and health classes in floorball for children 5-6 years in the educational process. Theoretical analysis and generalization of data from literature sources and experience of best practice in physical education of preschool children, as well as pedagogical experiment, were used. Determining the organizational and methodological conditions of the preschool education institution №18 “Zirnytsia” was necessary for our pedagogical experiment. Effectively organized physical culture and health classes in a preschool education institution can implement the marketing component of educational services, as it is a step towards raising the level of the institution, a condition for improving teachers’ professionalism, a stimulus to creative search for new tools for preschool development and education. Among the newest means of development and education of preschool children it is expedient to use means of sports game in floorball. Methods of forming theoretical knowledge were used for realization of the physical culture and health program; mastering motor skills and development of physical qualities. The load was regulated by observation, which revealed the degree of fatigue of children by external signs. Attention was paid to skin color, degree of sweating, facial expression, breathing patterns, coordination of children’s movements and attention, no complaints of fatigue and more. Thus, physical culture and health classes with the use of floorball for older preschool children contributed to the comprehensive development of physical and mental qualities. Such classes were characterized by the presence of mutual conditioning of children’s behavior, which contributed to moral education (collectivism, camaraderie, conscious discipline). Prospects for further research will be related to the development of a program of physical education and health classes in floorball for junior pupils.

The intensification of the development of society leads to significant changes in the education system. With the release of normative documents in preschool education, global changes have taken place aimed at developing technologies for the communicative development of children in various types of activities. The emphasis is on the development of universal educational skills, through the ability to independently find the necessary information using a variety of technologies and communication with peers and adults. The communicative development of preschool children is of great importance and is a strategic direction of Russian education. In the course of the study, theoretical (annotation, theoretical analysis, pedagogical modeling) and empirical research methods (studying the products of children’s activities, studying preschool documentation, observation) were used. The types of children’s activities aimed at the all-round development of the child have been determined. The communicative skills of a preschool child are systematized, the main features of the cognitive development of preschoolers are highlighted. The result of the study was the substantiation of the effectiveness of the use of lessons on cognitive activity on the development of communication skills of preschool children. Realizing the direction of the development of communication skills of preschool children through the use of cognitive activity, it is important to clearly think over the educational potential of a preschool organization.
