FORMATION OF THE CULTURE OF PERSONAL SAFETY OF JUNIOR SCHOOLCHILDREN IN THE LESSONS OF THE CIRCLE "ALPHABET OF SAFETY"
Today, there is an obvious contradiction between the recognition by the pedagogical community of the importance of building a culture of personal safety in elementary school and the absence of special academic disciplines in its curricula. The presence of this contradiction determines the relevance of the topic of this study and its problems, which are concentrated around the search for additional resources for the formation of a culture of personal safety among younger students. The problem of familiarization with the basic rules of safe behavior in everyday life: the formation of a safety culture of second-grade students in the systems: «Child and other people» (correct actions in a situation of contact with strangers), «Child and nature» (correct actions in nature at different times of the year (in relation to animals, plants and on the water), «Child at home» (The correctness of the child's actions at home in the absence of parents) and the formation of skills for safe behavior on the street (safety in the «Child on the street» system) is discussed in this article. The following research methods: analysis of psychological, pedagogical and methodological literature on the research problem; the methods of the ascertaining experiment, the analysis of the results of the students' activities and the protocols of conversations with them were used by us in the course of experimental work. A comparative analysis of the results of experiments for all methods showed that after the formative experiment, a significant increase in the level of personal safety culture of the respondents occurred.
