PERSONALITY OF THE PRESCHOOL CHILD: COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE AND SOCIAL STATUS OF THE CHILD
The article analyzes the results of an empirical study of the relationship of communicative competence and sociometric status of the senior preschool child. To date, the problem of communicative development of modern preschoolers is relevant due to the increased shortage of communication and interaction skills, as well as their defects. Direct communication of modern children with each other is impoverished, replaced by virtual interaction. Development of communicative abilities of children is possible thanks to cooperation and acceptance from peers in the conditions of preschool education. In the group, everyone has their own status, which largely depends on the communicative development of the preschooler. The total sample of subjects was 64 people. Approbation of criteria of diagnostic techniques was carried out in the pilot study. The authors note that there are effective ways to develop communicative competence taking into account the sociometric status of the child, while the relationship between these variables is always directly proportional. Therefore, it is necessary to purposefully develop and form both communication skills and status in the group, since in preschool age this socio-psychological characteristic is influenced to a greater extent by significant adults, that is, parents and teachers.
