Preparing a child to school in conditions of transformation of Ukrainian Education System.
Abstract
The investigation represents a theoretical and experimental review of children’s preparation for school in the current conditions of the Ukraine’s education system reformation. Based on the analysis of psychological and pedagogical research concerning preschooler’s content of readiness to school, the role and nature of cognitive interest formation as the basis of learning motivation is singled out in the context of the new Ukrainian school (2016) concept implementation. The results of historical and comparative review of children’s motivational readiness for school in the views of scientists of the late XX – early XXI centuries are suggested in the article. The interpretation of diagnostic results of motives of preschool children and primary school children’s educational activity demonstrated that each of the distinguished eight reasons tended to both rise and fall in different years (1963-2019 years).
