Engineering games as a means of polytechnical education for junior schoolchildren

Abstract

The article describes the possibilities of using the format of engineering games in the process of polytechnic education of junior schoolchildren. Engineering games are a team game at stations, at each of which children perform tasks aimed at developing graphomotor and drawing skills; spatial representations; ability to work with various materials and designers; ability to create structures according to a sample, technical drawing, diagram, drawing, condition. topic; the ability to supplement, transform a model according to given conditions, etc. Tasks can be performed either individually or by a group (team). The article provides examples of engineering games tasks that are used in their work by the Research Laboratory of Engineering and Polytechnic Education "CONSTRUCTORiUM" of Omsk State Pedagogical University.
