PRACTICAL PERSPECTIVE OF INTEGRAL VISION OF PRESCHOOL EDUCATION

Journal Title: Forum Pedagogiczne - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 2

Abstract

The necessity of integral education, accepted as a leading idea for all pedagogical interactions, is an important challenge for modern preschool education. This challenge is not new both for preschool education and pedagogy which have their deepest origins in the idea of integrity and realise it in different forms and scopes. An integral character of preschool education, based on its main assumptions, implies similar references to preschool pedagogy, as reflected in the entire activity of kindergartens. Education contents assumes that, besides coming to knowledge on the world and developing their intellectual skills, children also work on their physical abilities and health-oriented attitudes, learn some prosocial behaviours with reference to family, community and bigger social groups, they are acquainted with the world of aesthetic values and shape their emotional and moral competences. Thus, integration of education contents is based on the rule of variability, care for proper relations of the contents and their selection from different educational fields. However, an analysis of the issues related to the modern human integrity proves that we often forget about a very important dimension – the spiritual one – in the fields of preschool pedagogy and education. The presented article is an effort to make practical references to modern preschool education in the aspect of stimulation of children’s spiritual development as the part of their life space which allows them to realise their own humanity.
