EMPHATHY FORMATION OF SENIOR PRESCHOOL AGED
CHILDREN IN THE PROCESS OF ACTIVE GAMES
Introduction. In the twenty-first century, along with other important issues of
preschool and primary school age, there was a question of time space and the semantic
content of children’s activity during the game. The urgency of the issue is determined
by persistent exclusion of the game, especially plot-role-playing and active one out of
the children lives. The reasons are in changes of individual families (reduction of share
multi-generation and large families) and also in the whole society, in rapid
urbanization of society, in life computerization that led to the control intensification
under children’s vital activity and so caused to the disappearance of different aged
gangs of children, and also caused the decreasing in the proportion of free play in the
daily routine of the modern baby. Educators and psychologists have sounded the alarm,
because the game - is a specific conscious activitiy through which the child learns to
surround natural and social environment, finds activity, autonomy, initiative, learns to
build relationships with the surrounding world (G. Bielenka, L. Belinova, A. Wallon,
K. Karaseva, S. Novoselova, T. Pirozhenko, etc.).
Research results. The emphathy formation of senior pre-schoolers can be
achieved in the process of active games. The importance of pedagogical supervision of
an active game and developing of children's abilities to lose by result during of the
active game is revealed.
Children from an early age began to engage in learning, filling their time classes
in a foreign language, logic, math, reading and writing, at the best – in various sports
or art. TV, computer and computer games, building sets, sedentary game which is
inactive and does not require partners have confidentaly entered the children’s lives.
Let’s add to this list the constant support of an addult, the lack of friends to play in the
family and in the yard, clear regulayion of activities in educational institutions and
understand the cause of children's inactivity – the prerequisites of various diseases.
In general, scientists have concluded that the development of civilization, human
need constantly decreased the activity. Using transport, lift and other benefits of
technological progress are not encouraging for activity. If daily traffic rate for adults is
10,000 steps per day, for preschool children, this figure reaches – 9000-13 000 steps
- 230 -
