TECHNOLOGIES FOR DEVELOPING HEALTHY THINKING IN THE PRESCHOOL EDUCATION SYSTEM
Keywords:
preschool education, healthy thinking, cognitive development, educational technologies, child-centered learning, emotional intelligence.Abstract
In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to the holistic development of children in preschool education, particularly to the formation of healthy thinking as a fundamental component of cognitive, emotional, and social growth. Healthy thinking in early childhood is closely associated with the development of positive cognitive patterns, emotional resilience, creativity, problem-solving skills, and value-based behavior. The preschool period represents a critical stage for shaping children’s worldview, attitudes toward learning, and basic life skills. Therefore, the application of innovative pedagogical technologies aimed at developing healthy thinking is of particular importance in modern preschool education systems.Downloads
