EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES AND METHODS AIMED AT DEVELOPING THINKING PROCESSES IN PRESCHOOL CHILDREN

This article provides a broad and systematic analysis of modern educational technologies and methods aimed at developing thinking processes in preschool-aged children, including visual-active thinking, visual-figurative thinking, and the early forms of logical thinking. The psychological, pedagogical, and neuropsychological foundations of thinking development, the internal and external factors influencing its formation, age-specific characteristics, and specific methodological approaches used in practice are examined in detail. These approaches include problem-based learning, systems of didactic games, project-based technology, construction and modeling activities, and logical-mathematical tools. The article also discusses the role of educators and families in this process, the dual influence of the digital environment, and methods for diagnosing the development of thinking. The article concludes with practical recommendations based on theoretical analysis.
