USE OF THE TECHNOLOGY “THEORY OF INVENTIVE PROBLEMS SOLVING” IN FORMING CULTURE OF CONSUMPTION IN CHILDREN OF PRESCHOOL AGE

Abstract

The article presents theoretical justification and description of testing of pedagogical conditions for the use of educational technology “Theory of Inventive Problem Solving” (TIPS) in forming the foundations of culture of consumption in children during preschool childhood. Senior preschool age is recognized by researchers, educators as the most sensitive period for the assimilation of the beginnings of various directions of culture. Consumer culture is no exception. It is important from a preschool age to instill in children a conscious attitude to the world around us, to form a careful attitude to both the natural and man-made environment. The authors of the article focus on the need to search in modern educational practice for the most effective means of forming the foundations of environmental and economic culture among the younger generation. The TIPS technology is used to a greater extent for the development of creative imagination and thinking. The use of its potential regarding the formation of a consumption culture seems to us a fairly new process. The researchers believe that a modern person should be able to non-standard solve many issues, including issues related to the conservation and augmentation of the resources of the planet, and this process should begin in the period of preschool childhood. Pedagogical conditions are formulated and justified in the article that make it possible to effectively carry out the process of forming a consumption culture in older preschool children using the TIPS technology.
