ANALYSIS OF THE BEST PRACTICES FOR FORMING A DIGITAL EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT IN PRESCHOOL EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS

Abstract

The article contains an overview and analysis of the best practices for the formation of the digital educational environment in preschool educational organizations. In the theory and practice of preschool education, the problem of developing the theoretical and methodological foundations for the digitalization of preschool education as the first level of domestic education has matured. A number of external and internal contradictions have arisen in the formation of a digital educational environment, including the contradiction between the need for its formation and the lack of specific methodological recommendations based on scientific foundations. In this regard, it is necessary to study the best practices in the formation of the digital educational environment, analyze and summarize the existing experience. The article reviews and analyzes the experience of a number of preschool educational organizations in the Russian Federation and neighboring countries. It has been revealed that, in general, the experience of forming the digital educational environment is described in fragments, it presents some replicated digital educational technologies, individual elements of the leader’s digital constructor. The publications also reflect the experience of digital support of traditional educational technologies and the use of modern digital equipment created specifically for the cognitive development of children: interactive sandboxes, interactive floors, etc. In the practice of preschool educational organizations, the introduction of digital technologies into the educational process is associated with certain difficulties: personnel, material and technical, financial, organizational, etc. In general, in the analyzed experience, there are tendencies of humanization, democratization, axiologisation of the formation of the digital educational environment. There is a need for a comprehensive development of the theoretical foundations for creating the digital educational environment, building its holistic, consistent model.
