PATRIOTIC EDUCATION OF PRESCHOOL AGE CHILDREN ON THE EXAMPLE OF HISTORICAL FIGURES
This article discusses the possibilities and features of the implementation of patriotic education of preschool children on the basis of the information about various historical personalities. Information about outstanding historical personalities is seen as a kind of personal example. In view of the above, this information can be used as a means of patriotic upbringing of preschool children. In particular, the possibilities for implementing patriotic education of preschool children are considered on the basis of data about individual historical personalities (A. Suvorov, A. Raevsky, and A. Brusilov). Also in the course of research the basic conditions of patriotic education of preschool children were allocated on the basis of their age features, requirements of federal state educational standards and modern approaches to the organization of educational process. It is also shown that the presentation of historical examples to preschoolers, as examples of patriotism and love of the Motherland, should be carried out in the most interesting and accessible forms for them. Most preschool children prefer activity-based forms of work in the process of patriotic education (for example, drawing, project activities, helping veterans, etc.) because of their age. In addition, systemically organized work attracts preschoolers. Based on this, the system-activity approach seems expedient in the formation of a patriotism sense among preschoolers.
