Situational-personal form of communication. Extra-situational forms of communication between a preschooler and an adult

Extra-situational business uniform communication with peers begins to manifest itself in some children of 6-7 years.

The number of extra-situational contacts increases to 50% of all peer interactions. Communication with peers goes far beyond the general subject activity. Significant changes are taking place in the development of the role-playing game, its conventionality and schematism are growing. The complexity in building the game places demands on its preliminary planning.

It consists in the desire for cooperation and co-creation with a peer. The game has really general character with uniform rules, requirements, with coordination of actions, taking into account the interests of partners. The experience of previous joint games of children accumulates, leads to a certain generalization of children's ideas about the game, about the role of each child in it.

A clear image of a peer is formed, relations with him become more stable (there is such a phenomenon as friendship), sympathy arises. There is a formation of a subjective attitude towards other children, i.e. the ability to see in them an equal personality, take into account their interests, readiness to help.

Together with the knowledge of a peer, children develop an understanding of the self-image, especially their practical actions.

The main means of communication is speech. Features of communication with peers are clearly manifested in the topics of conversations, which are becoming more and more out of situation. Characteristic discussions of various broad topics regarding the past and future, native nature and distant lands, etc.

The contribution of out-of-situation-business communication for development consists in the formation of the child's ability to understand the other as a self-valuable person, in awakening interest in his inner world, the motive to expand his idea of ​​himself.

CONCLUSIONS about the development of forms of communication between a preschooler and a peer:

- A team of researchers led by A. G. Ruzsky identifies three ontogenetic sequential forms of communication with peers in preschool age;

- The age dynamics of communication and joint activities of preschoolers consists in the growth of content, selectivity, stability of relationships, the need for communication and cooperation, their intensity and focus on the interests of peers; - up to 7 years, the following forms of his communication with peers consistently change: emotional and practical (infant - early age); situational business (4-6 years); pozasituativ-but-business (6-7 years).

According to our experimental data, within five years (from 2 to 7) after the need for communication with a peer arises in preschoolers, their communicative activity changes noticeably in all the parameters considered. These changes can proceed smoothly, but sometimes there are qualitative shifts in them, as if "breaks". There are two such "breaks" in the development of children's communication with peers. The first occurs "at about 4 years, the second - about 6 years. Externally, the first "break" is manifested in a sharp change in the hierarchy of needs and the place of communication in the whole system of the child's life. If by the time of its occurrence and during the first two years after that ( 2-4 d) it occupies a modest place (fourth, after the need for active functioning, communication with adults and impressions), then in four-year-old children this need is put forward in first place (see chapter three). peer (R. I. Derevyanko, 1983). individual parameters This sphere in preschool children is characterized by the fact that significant changes occur in all (or almost all) of them at this time (see Table 24).

The second "fracture", less clearly expressed than the first, occurs in six-year-old children. Its external manifestations are relatively clearly defined selectivity in relationships with peers and the emergence of friendship between children. This moment in the development of communication of preschoolers is also accompanied by significant changes in the entire structure of their communicative activity.

On the basis of the foregoing, we consider it possible to assume the existence of three stages in the development of communicative activity that has already become, as a result of which we can discuss three forms of communication between preschoolers and peers that successively replace each other over the course of five years of the life of preschoolers "(2-7 years). This is evidenced by our studies that have revealed that the above parameters of communication between preschoolers and peers are structured in a peculiar way, forming three special forms of communication. salient features(see Table 25).



Emotionally-practical form of communication between children and peers (2-4 years of a child's life). The 3rd and 4th years of a child's life is the time of the existence of the simplest form of their communicative interaction, the stage of consolidating and strengthening the processes that occurred in babies in the 2nd year of life.

them together or alternately, supported and strengthened the general fun. Children enjoy the very process of action with toys.

Dominant position within early form communication with a peer takes a business motive. But, it can be called so only with big reservations. The kids don't do anything. They appreciate in a friend the readiness to have fun and play pranks together. In the business motive of the described form, one more feature stands out: each participant in the interaction, first of all, is concerned with drawing attention to himself and getting an assessment of his actions. Being a typical feature of all peers, this feature leads to the fact that they listen little to their partner, trying to demonstrate themselves to each other, and this desire coexists in children with interest in the affairs of their comrades.

At the age of 2-3 years and later, children are attracted by the process of joint actions: manipulation, construction of buildings, running away. The process includes for them the main goal of practical activity. Interaction is reduced to Joint participation in the process, and the result often disappears from sight altogether.

The revealed features of the motives of communication: the focus of children on self-identification, the perception of another child without linking with own affairs, the superficial procedural nature of joint activities - determine the fuzziness of the image of a peer in a child. In a peer, only attitude towards oneself is perceived. Only a positive range is formed in the self-image. Only positive information penetrates into the self-image. The first form of communication between children still occupies a modest place in their life. They play alone for a long time, comment on their actions, think aloud about their future plans. The plot and roles in the games are poorly outlined, the plot is built in fragments, and interest is concentrated mainly on objects. Noisy, emotional activities with peers are short-lived episodes interspersed with deep and peaceful play side by side. The latter is interrupted by short, but important for children, observations of what others are doing, and by checking their response to the value of their own deeds; after which the children again disperse and plunge each into their own world.

When communicating, children use all the means that they have mastered in contact with adults. At 2-3 years old, they widely use expressive gestures, postures, facial expressions. The emotional brightness of the interaction of kids gives leading value expressive and mimic means of communication. Emotional expressions in the sphere of communication with peers are distinguished by increased strength, often they are simply excessive. The intensity of expression reflects the depth of the experiences of children, the general looseness of their state and mutual influence. A considerable place is also occupied by object-effective operations, especially in children with underdeveloped speech. Speech is poorly represented in the contacts of 2–3 year old children and is already noticeable in 3–4 year old children (5% and 75%, respectively). Most often, the words of children are accompanied by gestures, facial expressions, while maintaining a high degree of situational, which is quite consistent with the essence of the first form of peer communication (situational in nature). Children 2-4 years old are not able to agree with each other. We have observed more than once how two children, clinging to one object, each pull it towards themselves and scream. They seem to be looking at each other, but without seeing or hearing their partner.

Within the framework of the genetically first form of communication between preschool children, two periods are distinguished between themselves: 2-3 and 3-4 years. Uniform in its fundamentals (the content of the need, the leading motives, etc.), the form of communication appears, as it were, in two guises in the initial and final periods of its development. More direct at the beginning, it loses this feature as objects are included in the interaction of children and their speech develops. The interaction of children from 2 to 4 years old needs constant and careful correction by adults.

The earliest genetic form of communication between children and peers (emotional-practical) does not repeat any of the forms of communication between preschoolers and adults. The child participates in it, owning many methods that he has learned in contacts with elders, but he is looking for something special, something that he can only get from his peers. However, it would be a mistake to underestimate the communication of children with each other. With peers, the child feels and behaves freely and on an equal footing, getting the opportunity to get an idea of ​​\u200b\u200bhis strengths and weaknesses by comparing with a creature close to him. Hence his attention and interest in peers. But even more attractive is the willingness of a peer to join in the fun, where he tries his hand in every way, the opportunity to express his opinion about the abilities of the child.

Features of the first form of communication with peers contribute to the deployment of children's initiative; they favor a sharp expansion of the range of the baby's emotions - both positive and negative - due to the inclusion - the brightest, extreme expressions. Appeal of this kind helps the formation of the self-awareness of the baby and the formation of the foundations of his personality.

Situational-business form of communication between children and peers (4-6 years) most typical for preschool childhood. Around 4 years old at For children attending kindergarten day groups, their peers begin to overtake adults in their attractiveness and become the preferred partner. The role of communication with peers in children over 4 years of age increases markedly among all other types of child activity. This is due to the transformation of the leading activity of preschoolers - a role-playing game. 4-6 years - the era of its heyday. The plot acquires clarity, it highlights completed episodes that are closely related to each other. But the most important thing is that from the age of 4 role-playing game becomes 159


truly collective.

Peer communication in collective game has two types: this is the communication of characters (reacted relations) and the communication of performers (relationships of the acting). Both species are intertwined; their level determines the ability of children to develop a meaningful presentation with a variety of episodes; repetition of games exercises children in establishing role-playing and real relationship. Consequently, communication with peers after 4 years rises in its significance and occupies a higher place in the hierarchy of other types of children's activities than it was at the previous stage.

Contacting with peers within the framework of the second genetic form of communication, preschoolers seek to establish business cooperation among themselves. This orientation is the main content of their communicative need. First of all, we emphasize the difference between cooperation and complicity. During emotional-practical communication, the children acted side by side, rarely and superficially touching each other. We have designated such contacts with the term "participation". In situational business communication, preschoolers are busy with a common task, they are closely cooperating, and although everyone does something individually, children still try to coordinate actions to achieve a common goal. We called these contacts cooperation. The transition from complicity to cooperation is a noticeable progress in the second area of ​​communicative activity. Of course, the cooperation of children with each other differs from that with adults: there the participation of the elder gave a purposeful character to the joint activity; here the main meaning is shifted from the result to the process, and nevertheless, the plot-role-playing collective game loses the aimlessness of procedural manipulations and therefore fills the children's contacts with visible content.

The need for gaming cooperation is objectified in the business motives of children's communication. With regard to the second genetic form of peer communication, we consider it possible, albeit with reservations, to write about the case. All the main reasons for addressing each other arise in children in the course of their studies: games, household chores, etc. Questions, answers, explanations, ironic remarks, ridicule testify to the attention of preschoolers to the skills and actions of comrades and even more about their desire to attract attention to yourself.

The business qualities of the child himself and his comrades, which serve as the reason for their appeals to each other, are extremely situational. “Now and here” is what the child takes into account. As at the previous level, within the framework of situational business communication, the child eagerly strives to become an object of interest and evaluation of his comrades. He sensitively catches in their glances and facial expressions signs of attitude towards himself, not having time to carefully look at the partners themselves. This reaches a maximum brightness of 160


and takes the form of a specific phenomenon of the "invisible mirror". But the invisibility of a peer in preschool age is quite special - it is combined with a jealous and biased interest in everything that he does. In the 5th year of life, children constantly asked us about the successes of their comrades; gave advice on who to take on the next experience; were asked to hide their mistakes and failures from their peers.

Usually preschoolers have a special demeanor. It is sometimes called competitiveness or competitiveness. We see its root in the child's desire to learn the best about himself at the level of situational business communication. This is due to the second most important content for children of this age, the need to communicate with a peer - in recognition and respect.

To communicate with each other, preschoolers use all three categories of means: expressive, pictorial and sign. Children talk to each other a lot, about one and a half times more than with adults, but their speech is still very situational. The emotional coloring of all contacts still prevails, the ease of transition from one emotion to another, often with the opposite sign. The diversity, richness and even the very imperfection of the means of communication eloquently testify to the preservation of that emancipation and ease in relations, which was outlined at the end of the 1st year of children's lives.

The lag of preschoolers in the transition to situational business communication has a noticeable adverse effect on their mental development. Children have a hard time with their rejection from the group. Those who are "not accepted" into the game, either sadly close up, or try to interfere with their peers. This state of the child is caused by the inability to carry out the leading activity of his age - the game, and the need for it at this age stage occupies the highest place in the hierarchy of needs.

The situational-business form of peer communication is the main kind of communicative interaction for preschool childhood. It is characterized by the need for cooperation and recognition, which is realized in a collective role-playing game. This need is objectified in business motives, which have a pronounced situational character and focus on self-knowledge and self-esteem. situational business conversation peers favors the development of the foundations of personality and self-awareness, as well as curiosity, courage, optimism, activity, creativity and originality in the broadest sense of the word. Trouble in the sphere of communication with peers prevents these critical processes: children become passive, withdrawn, behave unfriendly. The formation of a situational-business form of communication requires the care of adults, and especially in cases of delayed development, poverty of content. Influencing a group of peers, adults are sometimes more successful and faster than in individual

work with the child, to help the overall mental development of children.

Extra-situational - business form of communication between children and peers (6-7 years). AT at the very end of preschool age, some children develop new form communication, which we called extra-situational business. It is seen in few children. But at the same time, the trend towards its development is outlined quite clearly and the elements of the emerging contour emerge clearly in all older preschoolers. And the very logic of the movement of children from one form of communication to another predicts the transformation of peer contacts precisely in the direction of off-situational business relationships. The number of extra-situational contacts in children is steadily growing (at the age of 4-6, they already account for about 50% of all peer interactions). The separation of communication with peers from joint subject-practical activity also increases.

The main desire that prompts preschoolers to the most difficult contacts of this period of childhood is the thirst for cooperation. As in the previous stage, cooperation is of a practical nature - it unfolds against the background of children's joint play activities. But the game itself changes a lot. Representations with a plot and roles are being replaced by more and more conditional schemes. Games with rules, according to J. Piaget and D. B. Elkonin, serve as exercises for older preschoolers in relations with other people: they help them to realize their duties, which act here in the form of universal rules; come to an understanding of the norms of morality, the comprehensive requirements of justice, the obligations that each person has to all others and to himself. While retaining their ease, optionality, games with rules acquire purposefulness and effectiveness. The harmonious architectonics of new games creates a strong need to agree, plan things, reveals the child's ability for business cooperation in complicated circumstances. In all these cases, cooperation, while remaining practical and keeping in touch with the real affairs of children, acquires an extra-situational character. This is what distinguishes the content of the communicative need within the framework of the third genetic form of communication.

The properties for which a preschooler turns to his comrades are mainly their business qualities. Contacts are born in a collective game and are projected into it. But the leading motive at this stage of peer communication is noticeably modified. His main transformation is connected with overcoming situationality. Children's activities lose their excessive grounding - they turn, as it were, into a specific case of a more general rule. At the same time, the situational nature of the qualities that encourage the child to communicate - both his own and those of others - is softened.

The experience of different meetings with a peer is strung on a single rod. In many respects, an out-of-situation stable


your image of a comrade. Attachment arises between older preschoolers, the first sprouts of friendship between peers appear - the ability to see in a partner his best qualities, to tell other people about them with fervor, convincing them of the merits of his friend.

The development of children's ideas about their peers has a second. side - clarification of the image of I; moreover, children achieve the greatest accuracy in realizing their practical skills (I. G. Dimitrov, 1979).

Of course, contacts between children aged 6-7 are by no means limited to business considerations. Preschoolers talk on both cognitive and personal topics; business motives are far from the only reasons for communication. But our data give reason to believe that business motives still retain their leading position. This consideration determined the name of the extra-situational-business form of communication of older preschoolers. The extra-situational-business form occupies a central place in the hierarchy of various types of children's activity for the same reasons as the previous one: due to its significance for the leading activity of children.

The most important function of social inheritance, or appropriation, of socio-historical experience requires communication not only with elders: children of the same age create the opportunity for the child to learn the patterns of human actions and deeds taught by the elders, to practice their reproduction, to look from the outside how v learned the same lesson another child. Thus, one more important function of contacts of peers in their general mental development becomes clear. The loss experienced by isolated children, who do not have sufficient quantity and quality of contacts with their peers, is also very clearly highlighted.

Within the framework of non-situational business communication, preschoolers use all three categories of means, but the leading place undoubtedly belongs to speech. Children's conversations lose their confinement to momentary affairs. - Establishing extra-situational business contacts of children is an important part of their preparation for school and alleviates the coming difficulties of adolescence, when the position in the peer group becomes dominant for the child's well-being.

The main highway for the formation of comradely ties with peers is the formation of a subjective attitude towards them, i.e. the ability to see in them an equal personality, a person with the same feelings and thoughts, and a constant readiness to act for the good of a comrade, thinking about their own interests only in the second place.

The highest form of communication of preschoolers is extra-situational-business. Tendencies towards its appearance are observed in all kindergarten students. But it acquires completeness in about 10-15% of older preschoolers.

The specifics of communication between preschoolers and peers differs in many respects from communication with adults. Contacts with peers are more vividly emotionally saturated, accompanied by sharp intonations, screams, antics, and laughter. In contacts with other children, there are no strict norms and rules that should be observed when communicating with an adult. When talking with elders, the child uses generally accepted statements and ways of behavior. In communication with peers, children are more relaxed, say unexpected words, mimic each other, showing creativity and imagination. “Hello, Elena Anatolyevna! Natasha, hello! I have gum! Want?" - says Alyosha (4 years 11 months). In contacts with comrades, proactive statements predominate over reciprocal ones. It is much more important for a child to express himself than to listen to another. And as a result, a conversation with a peer often fails, because everyone talks about his own, not listening and interrupting each other. At the same time, the preschooler more often supports the initiative and suggestions of an adult, tries to answer his questions, complete the task, and listen carefully. Communication with peers is richer in purpose and function. The actions of the child, aimed at peers, are more diverse. From an adult, he expects an assessment of his actions or information. A child learns from an adult and constantly turns to him with questions (“How to draw paws?”, “Where to put a rag?”). An adult acts as an arbiter for resolving disputes that have arisen between children. Communicating with comrades, the preschooler controls the partner's actions, controls them, makes comments, teaches, showing or imposing his own pattern of behavior, activities and comparing other children with himself. In an environment of peers, the baby demonstrates his abilities and skills.

During preschool age, three forms of communication with peers develop, replacing each other. Let's consider them.

Among the various contacts with peers, the infant most often has direct emotional ones, reflecting a wide range of experiences: pleasure from new impressions delivered by another child, infection with general fun, fear and annoyance from careless movements. Children's interest in each other encourages cognitive contacts, to study the other. By 12 months for the first time, business contacts are formed in the form of joint subject-practical and game actions. This is where the foundation for subsequent full-fledged communication with peers is laid. The formation of such a need begins from 3 months. from the appearance of orienting activity to a peer. At 5 months the child has vivid emotions when perceiving a partner as part of the revitalization complex. In the second half of the first year of life, complex shapes behavior (imitation, joint games), acting as subsequent stages in the development of the need for communication with peers.

A significant part of contacts with comrades is aimed at getting to know them as interesting object. Children look at each other, touch their faces, clothes, sometimes even taste - they take the fingers of another into their mouths. Infants are often not limited to the contemplation of a peer, but strive to actually study the object of interest to them. They behave with peers as with an interesting toy. At the same time, they address them with the same actions as for an adult: they smile, offer a toy. However, initiative manifestations towards peers, the desire to attract attention to oneself are rarely observed, as well as reciprocal activity. Communication in the full sense is still absent, only its prerequisites are being laid.

At the age of 1 to 1.5 years, the content of contacts with peers remains the same as in infants. At the same age, the baby is attracted primarily by objective qualities: appearance, behavior. Therefore, the joint actions of babies are very rare and quickly disintegrate. Children cannot coordinate their desires and do not take into account the state of each other.

At the age of 1.5, a turning point occurs in relations with peers. Initiative actions are being developed in order to interest a peer. At the same time, sensitivity to the attitude of comrades develops.

By the age of 2, the first form of communication with peers is formed - emotional-practical. The new need for communication with peers takes fourth place after the need for active functioning, communication with adults and new experiences. Its content lies in the fact that the child expects complicity in his pranks and fun from his peers and strives for self-expression. Communication is reduced to running around, cheerful cries, funny movements and is distinguished by looseness and immediacy.

Children are attracted by the very process of joint actions: the construction of buildings, running away, etc. It is in the process that the goal of the activity lies for the baby, and its result is not important. The motives for such communication are the focus of children on self-identification. Although the baby strives to imitate the peer and the children's interest in each other increases, the image of the peer for the child is very fuzzy, because their joint actions are superficial.

Communication with comrades is reduced to individual episodes. Children play alone for a long time. And to establish contacts, they widely use all the actions that they have mastered in communicating with adults - gestures, postures, facial expressions. The emotions of the guys are very deep and intense. Subject-effective operations also contribute to the establishment of contacts. In the 4th year of life, speech occupies an increasing place in communication.

At the age of 4 to 6, preschoolers have a situational-business form of communication with their peers. At 4 years old, the need to communicate with peers is put forward in one of the first places. This change is due to the fact that the role-playing game and other activities are rapidly developing, acquiring a collective character. Preschoolers are trying to establish business cooperation, coordinate their actions to achieve the goal, which is the main content of the need for communication.

The desire to act together is so strongly expressed that children compromise, giving each other a toy, the most attractive role in the game, and so on.

Children clearly show a tendency to compete, competitiveness, intransigence in assessing comrades. In the 5th year of life, children constantly ask about the successes of their comrades, demand recognition of their own achievements, notice the failures of other children and try to hide their own mistakes. The preschooler seeks to draw attention to himself. The child does not highlight the interests, desires of a friend, does not understand the motives of his behavior. And at the same time, he shows a keen interest in everything that his peer does.

Thus, the content of the need for communication is the desire for recognition and respect. Contacts are characterized by bright emotionality.

Children use a variety of means of communication, and despite the fact that they talk a lot, speech is still situational.

An extra-situational-business form of communication is observed quite rarely, in a small number of children aged 6-7 years, but in older preschoolers there is a clear trend towards its development.

The complication of gaming activity puts the guys in front of the need to agree and plan their activities in advance. The main need for communication is the desire for cooperation with comrades, which acquires an extra-situational character. The leading motive of communication is changing. A stable image of a peer is formed. Therefore, attachment, friendship arises. There is a formation of a subjective attitude towards other children, that is, the ability to see in them an equal personality, to take into account their interests, readiness to help. There is an interest in the personality of a peer, not related to his specific actions. Children talk on cognitive and personal topics, although business motives remain leading. The main means of communication is speech.

Features of communication with peers are clearly manifested in the topics of conversation. What preschoolers talk about makes it possible to trace what they value in their peers and through what they assert themselves in his eyes.

Middle preschoolers are more likely to demonstrate to their peers what they can do and how they do it. At 5-7 years old, children talk a lot about themselves, about what they like or dislike. They share with their peers their knowledge, “plans for the future” (“what will I be when I grow up”). Despite the development of contacts with peers, conflicts between children are observed at any period of childhood.
Consider their typical reasons.

In infancy and early childhood the most common cause of conflicts with peers is the treatment of another child as an inanimate object and the inability to play around even if there are enough toys. A toy for a baby is more attractive than a peer. It obscures the partner and inhibits the development of positive relationships. It is especially important for preschoolers
demonstrate yourself and at least surpass your friend in some way. He needs the confidence that he is noticed, and to feel that he is the best. Among children, the baby has to prove his right to be unique. He compares himself to his peers. But the comparison is very subjective, only in his favor. The child sees a peer as an object of comparison with himself, so the peer himself and his personality do not
are noticed. Peer interests are often ignored. The kid notices the other when he starts to interfere. And then immediately the peer receives a severe assessment, the corresponding characteristic. The child expects approval and praise from a peer, but since he does not understand that the other needs the same, it is difficult for him to praise or approve a friend. In addition, preschoolers are poorly aware of the reasons for the behavior of others. They do not understand that a peer is the same person with their own interests and needs.

By 5-6 years, the number of conflicts is reduced. It becomes more important for a child to play together than to establish himself in the eyes of a peer. Children are more likely to talk about themselves in terms of “we”. An understanding comes that a friend may have other activities, games, although preschoolers still quarrel, and often fight.

The contribution of each form of communication to mental development is different. Early contacts with peers, beginning in the first year of life, serve as one of the most important sources for the development of methods and motives. cognitive activity. Other children act as a source of imitation, joint activities, additional impressions, bright positive emotional experiences. With a lack of communication with adults, communication with peers performs a compensatory function.

The emotional-practical form of communication encourages children to take the initiative, influences the expansion of the range of emotional experiences. Situational-business creates favorable conditions for the development of personality, self-awareness, curiosity, courage, optimism, creativity. And the non-situational-business one forms the ability to see a self-valuable personality in a communication partner, to understand his thoughts and experiences. At the same time, it allows the child to clarify ideas about himself.

Formation of the child's personality in communication Lisina Maya Ivanovna

Situational-business form of communication

This form of communication appears in the ontogenesis of the second and exists in children aged 6 months. up to 3 years. But it is very different from the first genetic form of communication.

To begin with, it no longer occupies the place of the leading activity - the object-manipulative activity of children is now moving forward in this place. Communication with adults is woven into the new leading activity, helping it and serving it. The main reasons for contacts between children and adults are now connected with their common cause - practical cooperation, and therefore, the central place among all motives for communication is put forward business motive. The child is unusually interested in what and how an adult does with things, and the elders are now revealed to children from this side - as amazing craftsmen and artisans, capable of creating true miracles with objects.

We put a one-year-old baby at a table and played a tiny and completely unpretentious performance in front of him: a toy dog ​​jumps along the path (a plank), finds a plate with a “bone” (a piece of foam rubber), gnaws it, and then, satisfied and well-fed, goes to bed. The child watched the performance with bated breath. When it ended, he shook off his stupor, looked at the adult with a smile, and impatiently reached for the toys. As a rule, he was not able to repeat the actions he liked so much with them, and, after a little fiddling, he began to insistently thrust the dog into the hands of the experimenter, begging them to repeat the performance. In the meantime, other pupils of the group gathered around the table (it was in the manger) and enthusiastically followed everything that was happening.

What kind of need was objectified in the described business motives? We came to the conclusion that in its content it was the child's communicative need for cooperation with an adult. The former desire of children for benevolent attention was fully preserved. (Looking ahead, let's say that in all subsequent cases, the earlier content of the need for communication is always preserved, and the new content for a given age stage the content builds on top of it and occupies a leading position. In table. 1.3 we tried to depict our idea of ​​how this happens.) The children, as before and even more insistently, demanded the presence of an adult, protested against his departure; they constantly settled down with their little things and toys next to the adult, often even leaned against his legs, leaned on his knees. But in sharp contrast to babies (that is, those who are younger than 6 months), starting from the second half of the year, the children no longer agreed to simply exchange caresses with him. If an adult took a child in his arms, he immediately either started a game (hiding, jokingly turned away, and then "scared" the adult, suddenly bringing his face closer to him), or included in the former - "pure", unmediated - communication what - or objects: he pointed with his finger at the window, at another child, invited him to admire his button or other trifle.

When contacts with an adult were included in the matter and the approval of the elders meant praise for some achievement of the baby (climbed onto the sofa, climbed the stairs, made a "knife"), it turned out that the described changes do not mean that children now value adults less or not. they value their attention: no, the significance of adults in their lives is completely preserved, even increases, but qualitatively changes in its character. The child now needs an adult to cooperate with him in business, organizing it, helping in difficult times, encouraging him in case of failure, praising his achievements.

In our experiments (M. I. Lisina // Development of communication ..., 1974) we compared the behavior of 10-15-month-old children in conditions of various interactions with an adult. In the first series of experiments, the adult organized the so-called inverted display. He unfolded before the child a performance with the participation of toys like the "play" with the dog, which was described above. During the inverted display, the experimenter constantly addressed the child by name, often glanced at him, and smiled at him in return. When the child himself acted with the toy, the adult encouraged each attempt of the child to repeat the shown manipulations with facial expressions and words. In series II - with the so-called unconverted display - everything remained the same, with the exception of one detail: the adult no longer addressed the child personally. In series III, the child was simply given a toy, nothing was shown to him, and he was given the full opportunity to play with it at his own discretion (a series without showing).

A comparison of the children's behavior in three series of experiments showed that they manipulated the least and poorest of all in the series without showing, where they quickly lost all interest in objects. Showing an adult stimulated the child, caused him a surge of energy. In experiments with unreversed display, the child's activity had the character of disorderly excitation: the children repeatedly repeated the same primitive action (waving, banging the toy against the wall, the table, dragging it around the table), making noise, shouting. In experiments with inverted display, the children's increased activity was aimed at trying to repeat the actions of an adult, and the manipulations here turned out to be much richer and qualitatively higher.

The established facts indicate a high sensitivity of children to personal communication, but on condition that they are included in joint business contacts with an adult.

So, in situational business communication, children need the presence of an adult and his benevolent attention, but this is not enough - he needs an adult to be related to what the child is doing and participate in this process.

In Chapter 2, we have already talked about the communicative operations of the subject-effective category. Therefore, here we confine ourselves to emphasizing their leading position in situational business communication. Just because of the role of these means of communication at the second level of development of communicative activity, we called the second form of communication “object-effective” for some time. However, later it was decided to base the naming of forms of communication not on means, but on motives as a more significant aspect of activity, and also to mention the degree of situational contacts. In the second form, contacts between children and adults are confined to this place and time, they are highly situational. And this despite the fact that in the middle of the 2nd year of life, many children begin to speak. They even manage to subordinate speech to situations and in many cases construct statements in such a way that they can be understood only by taking into account momentary circumstances.

Just as situational-personal communication determines the infant's adaptation to the circumstances of his life and, ultimately, his survival, so situational-business communication is of paramount importance in the life of young children. In close interaction with an adult, who is practical in nature and at the same time warmed by the warmth of mutual personal spiritual contact “big and small”, a child has a rare opportunity to comprehend the socio-historical content inherent in objects and master it, using these objects for their intended purpose and in accordance with that function. for which they were created. Attachment to an adult gives rise in a child to a natural desire to follow in their actions the behavior of their elders as a model. Thanks to personal contact, the remarks of an adult - his praises and reproaches - become of great importance for children when assimilating the necessary, correct actions with objects. In other words, the existence of situational business communication is the time during which children move from non-specific primitive manipulations with objects to more and more specific, and then to culturally fixed actions with them (R. Ya. Lekhtman-Abramovich, F. I Fradkina, 1949). The process of transformation of objective actions was repeatedly traced by Soviet psychologists (A. V. Zaporozhets, D. B. Elkonin // Psychology of children ..., 1964; Psychology of personality., 1965). The decisive role of communication in their transformation is shown in a number of works (V. V. Vetrova, 1975; M. G. Elagina, 1977; T. M. Sorokina, 1978; D. B. Elkonin, 1978).

Forms of communication between a child and an adult. The attitude of children of different ages to different forms communication.

Any child, before starting communication with their peers, enters into communication with an adult. It is this communication that becomes the starting point in the acquisition of communication skills by the child.

Depending on what motivates a child to communicate, the main forms of communication between a child and an adult can be distinguished:
- situational - personal,
- situational - business,
- extra-situational - personal.
- extra-situational - cognitive
,

The development of communication between the child and adults throughout childhood. Forms of communication according to M.I. Lisina

M. I. Lisina represented the development of communication between a child and an adult from birth to 7 years as a change in several integral forms of communication.

The first form is situational-personal form of communication is characteristic of infancy. Communication at this time depends on the characteristics of the momentary interaction between the child and the adult, it is limited by the narrow framework of the situation in which the needs of the child are met. Direct emotional contacts are the main content of communication, since the main thing that attracts a child is the personality of an adult, and everything else, including toys and other interesting items, remains in the background. At an early age, the child masters the world of objects. He still needs warm emotional contacts with his mother, but this is no longer enough. He has a need for cooperation, which, together with the need for new experiences and activity, can be realized in joint actions with an adult. The child and the adult, acting as an organizer and assistant, manipulate objects together and perform increasingly complex actions with them. An adult shows what can be done with different things, how to use them, revealing to the child those qualities that he himself is not able to discover. Communication that unfolds in a situation of joint activity is called. With the advent of the first questions of the child: “why?”, “Why?”, “Where?”, “How?” new stage in the development of communication between a child and an adult.

it extra-situational - cognitive communication motivated by cognitive motives. The child breaks out of the visual situation in which all his interests were previously concentrated. Now he is much more interested in: how does the world of natural phenomena and human relations that has opened up to him work? And the main source of information, an erudite who knows everything in the world, becomes for him the same adult. In the middle or at the end of preschool age, another form should arise -extra-situational - personal communication . An adult for a child is the highest authority, whose instructions, demands, comments are accepted in a businesslike manner, without offense, without whims and refusal of difficult tasks. This form of communication is important in preparing for school, and if it has not developed by the age of 6-7, the child will not be psychologically ready for schooling. It should be noted that later, at primary school age, the authority of an adult will be preserved and strengthened, a distance will appear in the relationship between the child and the teacher in the conditions of formalized schooling. Keeping the old forms of communication with adult family members, the younger student learns business cooperation in educational activities. AT adolescence authorities are overthrown, there is a desire for independence from adults, a tendency to protect certain aspects of one's life from their control and influence. Communication of a teenager with adults both in the family and at school is fraught with conflicts. At the same time, high school students show interest in the experience of the older generation and, determining their future life path, need trusting relationships with close adults. Communication with other children, initially, has practically no effect on the development of the child / if there are no twins or children of close age / in the family. Even younger preschoolers at 3-4 years old still do not know how to really communicate with each other. As D. B. Elkonin writes, they “play side by side, not together.” It is possible to talk about the full communication of a child with peers only starting from the middle preschool age. Communication, woven into a complex role-playing game, contributes to the development of the child's arbitrary behavior, the ability to take into account someone else's point of view. The development is definitely influenced by the inclusion in the collective learning activitiesgroup work, mutual evaluation of results, etc. And for adolescents trying to free themselves from adult evaluation, communication with peers becomes a leading activity. In relationships with close friends, they / just like high school students / are capable of deep intimate-personal, “confessional” communication.

Situational business communication At the end of the first year of life, the social situation of the fusion of the child and the adult explodes from within. Two opposite, but interconnected poles appear in it - a child and an adult. By the beginning of an early age, the child, acquiring a desire for independence and independence from an adult, remains connected with him both objectively (because he needs the practical help of an adult) and subjectively (because he needs an adult's assessment, his attention and attitude). This contradiction finds its resolution in the new social situation of the child's development, which is cooperation, or joint activity of the child and the adult.

Communication between a child and an adult loses its immediacy already in the second half of infancy: it begins to be mediated by objects. In the second year of life, the content of substantive cooperation between a child and an adult becomes special. The content of their joint activity is the assimilation of socially developed ways of using objects. The peculiarity of the new social situation of development, according to D. B. Elkonin, lies in the fact that now the child “... lives not with an adult, but through an adult, with his help. An adult does not do it instead of him, but together with him. An adult becomes for the child not only a source of attention and goodwill, not only a "supplier" of the objects themselves, but also a model of human, specific objective actions. And although throughout the early age the form of communication with an adult remains situational and businesslike, the nature of business communication is changing significantly. Such cooperation is no longer limited to direct assistance or to the demonstration of objects. Now the complicity of an adult is needed, simultaneous practical activities with him, the performance of the same thing. In the course of such cooperation, the child simultaneously receives both the adult's attention and his participation in the child's actions, and most importantly, new, adequate ways of acting with objects. The adult now not only puts objects into the hands of the child, but together with the object conveys the mode of action with it.

A child's achievements in objective activity and their recognition by adults become for him a measure of his ego and a way of asserting his own dignity. Children have a distinct desire to achieve a result, a product of their activity. The end of this period is marked by a crisis of 3 years, in which the increased independence of the child and the purposefulness of his actions express themselves.

A child is not born into the world with a ready need for communication. In the first two or three weeks, he does not see or perceive an adult. But, despite this, the parents constantly talk to him, caress him, catch his wandering gaze on themselves. It is thanks to the love of close adults, which is expressed in these seemingly useless actions, that at the end of the first month of life, babies begin to see an adult, and then communicate with him.

At first, this communication looks like a response to the influence of an adult: the mother looks at the child, smiles, talks to him, and he also smiles in response, waves his arms and legs. Then (at three or four months), already at the sight of a familiar person, the child rejoices, begins to actively move, walk, attract the attention of an adult, and if he does not pay any attention to him or goes about his business, he cries loudly and resentfully. The need for adult attention - the first and main need for communication - remains with the child for life. But later, other needs join it, which will be discussed later.

Some parents consider all these influences unnecessary and even harmful. In an effort not to spoil their child, not to accustom him to excessive attention, they dryly and formally fulfill their parental duties: they feed by the hour, swaddle, walk, etc., without expressing any parental feelings. Such strict formal education in infancy is very harmful. The fact is that in positive emotional contacts with an adult, not only the satisfaction of the already existing need of the baby for attention and goodwill occurs, but also the foundation for the future development of the child's personality is laid - his active, active attitude to the environment, interest in objects, the ability to see, hear, perceive the world, self-confidence. The germs of all these most important qualities appear in the most simple and seemingly primitive communication between a mother and her baby.

If, in the first year of life, a child, for some reason, does not receive sufficient attention and warmth from close adults (for example, isolation from the mother or the employment of parents), this one way or another makes itself felt in the future. Such children become constrained, passive, insecure or, on the contrary, very cruel and aggressive. Compensating for their unsatisfied need for attention and benevolence of adults at a later age can be very difficult. Therefore, parents need to understand how important the simple attention and goodwill of close adults is for the baby.

The baby does not yet distinguish individual qualities of an adult. He is completely indifferent to the level of knowledge and skills of an older person, his social or property status, he does not even care how he looks and what he is wearing. The kid is attracted only by the personality of the adult and his attitude towards him. Therefore, despite the primitiveness of such communication, it is motivated by personal motives, when an adult acts not as a means for something (games, knowledge, self-affirmation), but as an integral and self-valuable personality. As for the means of communication, they are this stage are purely expressive. Outwardly, such communication looks like an exchange of glances, smiles, cries and cooing of a child and an affectionate conversation of an adult, from which the baby catches only what he needs - attention and goodwill.

Situational-personal form of communication remains the main and only from birth to six months of life. During this period, the communication of the infant with the adult takes place outside of any other activity and itself constitutes the leading activity of the child.

Situational-business form of communicationIn the second half of life, with the normal development of the child, the attention of an adult is no longer enough. The kid begins to attract not so much the adult himself, but the objects associated with him. At this age, a new form of communication between a child and an adult is formed - situational business and the need for business cooperation associated with it. This form of communication differs from the previous one in that the adult is needed and interesting to the child not by himself, not by his attention and friendly attitude, but by the fact that he has different objects and he knows how to do something with them. The "businesslike" qualities of an adult and, consequently, the business motives of communication come to the fore.

The means of communication at this stage are also significantly enriched. The child can already walk independently, manipulate objects, take various poses. All this leads to the fact that object-effective means of communication are added to expressive-mimic ones - children actively use gestures, postures, expressive movements.

At first, children are drawn only to those objects and toys that adults show them. There may be many interesting toys in the room, but the children will not pay any attention to them and will start to get bored among this abundance. But as soon as an adult (or an older child) takes one of them and shows how you can play with it: move a car, how a dog can jump, how you can comb a doll, etc. - all children will be drawn to this particular toy, it will become the most necessary and interesting. This happens for two reasons.

Firstly, an adult remains the center of his preferences for the child, because of this, he endows the attractiveness of those objects that he touches. These objects become necessary and preferred because they are in the hands of an adult.

Secondly, an adult shows children how to play with these toys. By themselves, toys (as well as any objects in general) will never tell you how they can be played or used. Only another, older person can show that rings should be put on the pyramid, that the doll can be fed and put to bed, and a tower can be built from cubes. Without such a display, the child simply does not know what to do with these objects, and therefore does not reach out to them. In order for children to start playing with toys, an adult must first show what can be done with them and how to play. Only after this the children's play becomes meaningful and meaningful. Moreover, when showing certain actions with objects, it is important not only to perform them, but to constantly address the child, talk to him, look into his eyes, support and encourage his correct independent actions. Such joint games with objects represent business communication or cooperation between a child and an adult. The need for cooperation is fundamental to situational business communication.

The significance of such communication for the mental development of the child is enormous. It consists of the following. First, in such communicationthe child masters object actions , learns to use household items: a spoon, a comb, a pot, play with toys, dress, wash, etc. Secondly, here beginsto show activity and independence of the child . By manipulating objects, for the first time he feels independent of an adult and free in his actions. He becomes the subject of his activity and an independent partner in communication. Thirdly, in situational business communication with an adultbaby's first words appear . Indeed, in order to ask an adult for the desired item, the child needs to name it, that is, pronounce the word. Moreover, this task - to say this or that word - is again put before the child only by an adult. The child himself, without the encouragement and support of an adult, will never begin to speak. In situational business communication, an adult constantly sets a speech task for the baby: showing the child a new object, he invites him to name this object, that is, to pronounce a new word after it. Thus, in interaction with an adult about objects, the main specifically human means of communication, thinking and self-regulation arises and develops - speech.

The appearance and development of speech makes possible the next stage in the development of communication between a child and an adult, which differs significantly from the two previous ones. The first two forms of communication were situational, because the main content of this communication was directly present in specific situation. Both the good attitude of an adult, expressed in his smile and affectionate gestures (situational-personal communication), and the objects in the hands of an adult that can be seen, touched, considered (situational-business communication), were next to the child, in front of his eyes.

The content of the following forms of communication is no longer limited to the visual situation, but goes beyond it. The subject of communication between a child and an adult can be such phenomena and events that cannot be seen in a particular situation of interaction. For example, they can talk about rain, about the fact that the sun is shining, about birds that flew to distant countries, about the structure of a car, etc. On the other hand, the content of communication can be their own experiences, goals and plans, relationships, memories, etc. All this also cannot be seen with the eyes and felt with the hands, however, through communication with an adult, all this becomes quite real, significant for the child. Obviously, the emergence of extra-situational communication significantly expands the horizons of the life world of a preschooler.

Extra-situational communication becomes possible only due to the fact that the child masters active speech. After all, speech is the only universal means that allows a person to create stable images and ideas about objects that are absent in this moment before the eyes of the child, and act with these images and ideas that are not present in this situation of interaction. Such communication, the content of which goes beyond the perceived situation, is calledout-of-situation.

There are two forms of off-situational communication -cognitive and personal .

Cognitive form of communication

In the normal course of development, cognitive communication develops by about four to five years. A clear evidence of the appearance of such communication in a child is his questions addressed to an adult. These questions are mainly aimed at clarifying the patterns of animate and inanimate nature. Children of this age are interested in everything: why squirrels run away from people, why fish do not drown, and birds do not fall from the sky, what paper is made of, etc. Only an adult can give answers to all these questions. An adult becomes for preschoolers the main source of new knowledge about events, objects and phenomena occurring around.

It is interesting that children at this age are satisfied with any answers of an adult. They don't have to give scientific justification questions that interest them, and this is impossible to do, since the kids will not understand everything. It is enough just to connect the phenomenon of interest to them with what they already know and understand. For example: butterflies hibernate under the snow, they are warmer there; squirrels are afraid of hunters; paper is made from wood, etc. Such very superficial answers completely satisfy the children and contribute to the fact that they develop their own, albeit still primitive, picture of the world.

At the same time, children's ideas about the world remain in the memory of a person for a long time. Therefore, the answers of an adult should not distort reality and allow all the explaining magical powers into the mind of the child. Although simple and accessible, these answers should reflect the real state of affairs. The main thing is that an adult answers the questions of children so that their interests do not go unnoticed. The fact is that at preschool age a new need develops - the need for respect from an adult. The child is no longer enough simple attention and cooperation with an adult. He needs a serious, respectful attitude to his questions, interests and actions. The need for respect, for recognition by adults becomes the main need that encourages the child to communicate.

In the behavior of children, this is expressed in the fact that they begin to take offense when an adult evaluates their actions negatively, scolds, and often makes comments. If children under three or four years old, as a rule, do not respond to the comments of an adult, then at an older age they are already waiting for an assessment. It is important for them that an adult not only notices, but also praises their actions and answers their questions. If a child is too often reprimanded, constantly emphasized his inability or inability to do something, he loses all interest in this business and tries to avoid it.

The best way to teach something to a preschooler, to instill in him an interest in some kind of activity, is to encourage his success, to praise his actions. For example, what if a five-year-old child cannot draw at all?

Of course, you can objectively assess the child's abilities, constantly make comments to him, comparing his bad drawings with the good drawings of other children and encouraging him to learn to draw. But from this, he loses all interest in drawing, he will refuse the lesson that causes continuous comments and complaints from the educator. And of course, in this way, not only will he not learn to draw better, but he will avoid this occupation and dislike it.

Or, on the contrary, it is possible to form and maintain the child's faith in his abilities by praising his most insignificant successes. Even if the drawing is far from perfect, it is better to emphasize its minimal (even if not existing) merits, to show the child's ability to draw, than to give him a negative assessment. The encouragement of an adult not only inspires the child with self-confidence, but also makes the activity for which he was praised important and loved. The child, seeking to maintain and strengthen the positive attitude and respect of the adult, will try to draw better and more. And this, of course, will bring more benefits than fear of the remarks of an adult and the consciousness of one's inability.

So, for the cognitive communication of a child with an adult, the following are characteristic:

    good command of speech, which allows you to talk with an adult about things that are not in a particular situation;

    cognitive motives of communication, the curiosity of children, the desire to explain the world, which is manifested in children's questions;

    the need for respect for an adult, which is expressed in resentment at the remarks and negative assessments of the educator.

Personal form of communication

Over time, the attention of preschoolers is increasingly attracted by events taking place among the people around them. Human relations, norms of behavior, qualities of individuals begin to interest the child even more than the life of animals or natural phenomena. What is possible and what is not, who is kind and who is greedy, what is good and what is bad - these and other similar questions are already worrying older preschoolers. And the answers to them, again, can only be given by an adult. Of course, in the past, parents constantly told their children how to behave, what is possible and what is not, but younger children only obeyed (or did not obey) the requirements of an adult. Now, at the age of six or seven, the rules of conduct, human relations, qualities, actions are of interest to the children themselves. It is important for them to understand the requirements of adults, to establish themselves in their rightness. Therefore, in the older preschool age, children prefer to talk with adults not on cognitive topics, but on personal topics related to people's lives. This is how the most complex and highest non-situational-personal form of communication arises in preschool age.

An adult is still a source of new knowledge for children, and children still need his respect and recognition. But it becomes very important for a child to evaluate certain qualities and actions (both his own and other children) and it is important that his attitude to certain events coincide with the attitude of an adult. The commonality of views and assessments is for the child an indicator of their correctness. It is very important for a child at an older preschool age to be good, to do everything right: to behave correctly, to correctly assess the actions and qualities of their peers, to build their relationships with adults and peers correctly.

This aspiration, of course, should be supported by parents. To do this, you need to talk with children more often about their actions and relationships with each other, to evaluate their actions. Older preschoolers still need adult encouragement and approval. But they are no longer concerned about the assessment of their specific skills, but the assessment of their moral qualities and personality as a whole. If a child is sure that an adult treats him well and respects his personality, he can calmly, in a businesslike way, treat his remarks regarding his individual actions or skills. Now a negative assessment of his drawing does not offend the child so much. The main thing is that he is generally good, so that an adult understands and shares his assessments.

The need for adult understanding distinguishing feature personal form of communication. But if an adult often tells a child that he is greedy, lazy, cowardly, etc., this can greatly offend and hurt the child, and by no means lead to the correction of negative character traits. Here again, in order to maintain the desire to be good, it will be much more useful to encourage his right actions and positive qualities than to condemn the shortcomings of the child.

In older preschool age, extra-situational-personal communication exists independently and is a “pure communication” that is not included in any other activity. It is motivated by personal motives when the other person attracts the child by itself. All this brings this form of communication closer to the primitive personal (but situational) communication that is observed in infants. However, the personality of an adult is perceived by a preschooler in a completely different way than by an infant. The older partner is no longer an abstract source of attention and goodwill for the child, but a concrete person with certain qualities(marital status, age, profession, etc.). All these qualities are very important for a child. In addition, an adult is a competent judge who knows "what is good and what is bad" and a role model.

Thus, for extra-situational-personal communication, which develops by the end of preschool age, the following are characteristic:

    the need for mutual understanding and empathy;

    personal motives;

    speech means of communication.

Extra-situational-personal communication has importance for the development of the child's personality. This meaning is as follows. First, the child consciously learns the norms and rules of behavior and begins to consciously follow them in his actions and deeds. Secondly, through personal communication, children learn to see themselves as if from the outside, which is a necessary condition for conscious control of their behavior. Thirdly, in personal communication, children learn to distinguish between the roles of different adults: educator, doctor, teacher, etc. - and, in accordance with this, build their relationships in different ways in communicating with them.

The right way to develop communication

These are the main forms of communication between a child and an adult at preschool age. With the normal development of the child, each of these forms of communication develops at a certain age. So, the first, situational-personal form of communication arises in the second month of life and remains the only one up to six or seven months. In the second half of life, situational business communication with an adult is formed, in which the main thing for a child is joint game with items. This communication remains central until about four years of age. At the age of four or five years, when the child is already fluent in speech and can talk with an adult on abstract topics, extra-situational-cognitive communication becomes possible. And at the age of six, that is, by the end of preschool age, there is verbal communication with an adult on personal topics.

But this is only a general, average age sequence, reflecting the normal course of a child's development. Deviations from it for short periods (six months or a year) should not inspire concern. However, in real life, quite often one can observe significant deviations from the indicated dates for the emergence of certain forms of communication. It happens that children remain at the level of situational business communication until the end of preschool age. Quite often, preschoolers do not form at all speech communication on personal topics. And in some cases, in preschoolers of five years, situational-personal communication prevails, which is typical for infants in the first half of the year. Of course, the behavior of preschoolers in this case is not at all like that of an infant, but in essence, the attitude towards an adult and communication with him in a quite large child can be the same as in an infant.

The development of the personality of a preschooler in communication with an adult

Speaking of a person's personality, we always mean his leading life motives, subjugating others. Each person always has something most important, for which you can sacrifice everything else. And than brighter man realizes that the main thing for him, the more persistently he strives for this, the more his behavior is strong-willed. We are talking about the volitional qualities of a person in cases where a person not only knows what he wants, but stubbornly and persistently achieves his goal himself, when his behavior is not chaotic, but directed towards something.

If there is no such direction, if individual impulses are adjacent and enter into a simple interaction, a person's behavior will be determined not by himself, but by external circumstances. In this case, we have a picture of the disintegration of the personality, a return to purely situational behavior, which is normal for a child of two or three years old, but should cause anxiety at older ages. That is why the period in the development of the child is so important, when there is a transition from situational behavior, dependent on external circumstances, to volitional, which is determined by the person himself. This period falls on preschool childhood (from three to seven years).

Thus, if the connection between the action and the result of the action is clear to the child and relies on his life experience, even before the action begins, he imagines the meaning of his future product and emotionally tunes in to the process of its manufacture. In cases where this connection is not established, the action is meaningless for the child and he either does it badly or avoids it altogether in order to help him understand (realize) his desires and keep them despite situational circumstances. But the child must do the work himself. Not under your pressure or pressure, but of your own free will and decision. Only such assistance can contribute to the formation of his own personality traits.

2. Motivation of communication between children and adults at different age stages.

Communication is an essential condition for human existence. At all times, a person's satisfaction of his needs occurred, as a rule, with the use of communication. That is why communication is related to the problem of motivation, being a chosen and planned way, a means of satisfying needs, drives, desires.

AGE FEATURES OF MOTIVATION OF COMMUNICATION

In infancy, the need to communicate with parents, especially with the mother, is pronounced. Therefore, the lack of such communication for 5-6 months leads to irreversible negative changes in the child's psyche, disrupts the emotional, mental and physical development leads to neuroses.

By the end of the first year of life, children have a fairly stable desire to communicate with their peers: they like to be among other children, although they have not yet played with them. From the second year, communication with peers expands, and for 4-year-olds it becomes one of the leading needs. At the same time, their independence and initiative increase, i.e., their behavior becomes more and more internally determined.

As M. I. Lisina notes, the content of the need for communication (or rather, it would be the motive for communication) at different stages of ontogenesis can be different (is this the best evidence that there is no specific primary, basic need for communication and that the need for communication Is it a need for a way to satisfy other needs?). In the first 7 years of a child's life, the content of this need is: in children 2-6 months old - in benevolent attention, in children from 6 months to 3 years old - in cooperation, in children 3-5 years old - in a respectful attitude of an adult, in children 5-7 years - in mutual understanding and experience.

Thus, with age, the content of the need for communication (or rather, the content of the motive for communication) becomes richer, more diverse. At the same time, the meaning of an adult as an object of communication also changes. For children under 6 months old, an adult is a source of affection and attention, and communication itself has a personal meaning for the child. For children from 6 months to 3 years old, an adult is a play partner, a role model, an assessor of the child's knowledge and skills; Communication with him makes business sense. For a child from 3 to 5 years old, an adult is a source of knowledge, an erudite, and communication with him has cognitive meaning. For children 5-7 years old, an adult is an older friend, and communication again takes on a personal meaning.

3. Develop techniques for an algorithm for creating a situation of success in pedagogical process.

One of the most important tasks of education is that in the process of mastering knowledge, each child experiences human dignity, a sense of pride. The teacher not only opens the world to the pupils, but also affirms the child in the world around him as an active creator, a creator who feels a sense of pride in his successes.

A situation is a combination of conditions that ensure success, and success itself is the result of such a situation.

The situation of success is the experience by the subject of his personal achievements.

Creating situations of success is a creative method of pedagogical influence, because. the practical organization of these situations renders positive influence on the development of the child. It is important to keep in mind that even a one-time experience of success can radically change the psychological well-being of the child, dramatically change the style and rhythm of his activity, relationships with others.

The situation of success can become trigger mechanism further development of the individual.

Success is an ambiguous, complex concept, different interpretations.

Point of view

Characteristics of success

1. Socio-psychological

The ratio between the expectations of others, the individual and the results of its activities. When a person's expectations match or exceed those of others.

2. Psychological

The experience of a state of joy, satisfaction because the result coincided with the expectations, hopes of the individual, or exceeded them.

3. Pedagogical

This is the result of a well-thought-out, prepared strategy, tactics of a teacher, a family.

The child not only learns something, learns the material, but also experiences his work, expresses a deeply personal attitude to what he succeeds and fails. The younger student is not so much aware as experiencing.

The expectation of success becomes gradually a steady need. On the one hand - a state of confidence, on the other - the danger of overestimating one's capabilities.


The preschooler fixes the achievement, rejoices in it.

Success could be expected, unexpected, prepared, unprepared


The child is waiting for him, hoping for him. Reasonable hopes and hope for a miracle can be based on


Generalizing

anticipated


Does not raise a storm of feelings, but nevertheless more stable and deeper


Shocks the child's personality, greatly leaves a deep mark


According to the individual's expectations

Success


(The terms are taken from the book by V.K. Vilyunas "Psychology of emotional phenomena")

Knowledge of these types of success makes it possible to realistically imagine their pedagogical potential and navigate in the choice of ways and means of organization. The ground on which our pedagogical skills are built is in the child himself, in his attitude to knowledge, to the teacher. It is desire, inspiration, readiness to overcome difficulties.

At the heart of the expectation of success in a preschooler is the desire to earn the approval of elders. Does this mean that the teacher should play along with the child, adapt to his interests and moods?

Success is a phenomenon of painstaking efforts in professional, creative, intellectual activity. Without a sense of success, the child loses interest in activities, but achieving success in his activities is hampered by a number of circumstances, among which are the lack of knowledge and skills, mental and physiological characteristics of development, and others.

Therefore, it is pedagogically justified to create for a preschooler - a situation of success - a subjective experience of satisfaction from the process and result of an independently performed activity. Technologically, this assistance is provided by a number of operations that are carried out in a psychological atmosphere of joy and approval created by verbal and non-verbal means.

Encouraging words and soft intonations, melody of speech and correctness of addresses, as well as an open posture and friendly facial expressions, combine to create a favorable psychological background that helps the child cope with the task assigned to him. Inviting the child to complete any task, you should first"remove fear" before the upcoming activity, so that the preschooler can overcome self-doubt, shyness and fear of the work itself, the assessment of others.

In order to enhance the pedagogical impact, the operation “removal of fear” is supplemented by the operation"advance" successful result: “With your abilities…”, “You will definitely manage…”. When implementing “advance payment”, it is necessary to express one’s firm conviction that the preschooler will definitely cope with the task set, overcome the difficulties that he will face on the way to moving towards the goal. Such a position inspires confidence in the child in himself, his strengths and capabilities.

The situation of success is especially important in working with children whose behavior is complicated by a number of external and internal reasons, since it allows them to sow aggression in them, overcome isolation and passivity. Quite often we encounter a problem - when a successful child stops making efforts in the classroom. In this case, the situation of success created by the teacher takes the form of a layer cake, where between two situations of success there is a situation of failure.

The pedagogical purpose of the situation of success is to create conditions for the individual development of the child.

Creating a situation of success in the pedagogical process

Success is an ambiguous, complex concept with different interpretations. From a socio-psychological point of view, this is the optimal ratio between the expectations of others, the individual and the results of his activities. In those cases when the expectations of the individual coincide or exceed the expectations of others, the most significant for the individual, we can talk about success.

From a pedagogical point of view, the situation of success is such a purposeful, organized combination of conditions under which it is possible to achieve significant results in the activities of both a single individual and the team as a whole.

When trying to understand how the motivation to achieve success develops in preschool children, it is important to keep in mind one more circumstance. It has been shown that a person has not one, but two different motives associated with achieving success: the motive for achieving success and the motive for avoiding failure. Both of them, as oppositely directed tendencies, are formed in the leading types of activity for children of a given age: for preschoolers - in the game, and for junior schoolchildren- in training.

If adults, who have great authority over children, encourage them a little for success and punish them more for failures, then in the end a motive for avoiding failure is formed and consolidated, which is by no means an incentive to achieve success. If, on the contrary, the adult's attention and most of the child's stimuli are successes, then a motive for achieving success is formed.

OPERATION

PURPOSE

SPEECH PARADIGM

1. Removing fear

It helps to overcome self-doubt, shyness, fear of the work itself and the assessment of others.

“We are all trying and looking, this is the only way something can work out.”

“People learn from their mistakes and find other ways to solve it, and you will succeed.”

2. Advance payment

Helps the teacher to express his firm conviction that the child will definitely cope with the task. This, in turn, instills confidence in the child's own strengths and abilities.

"You will definitely succeed."

“I don’t even doubt the successful outcome.”

3.High motivation

Shows the child for what, for whom this activity is performed, who will feel good after performing

“Without your help, your comrades cannot cope…”

4. Hidden instruction

Helps the child avoid defeat. It is achieved by a hint, a wish.

“Perhaps the best place to start is…..”

“When doing the work, don’t forget about…..”

5.Personal exclusivity.

Indicates the importance of the child's efforts in the upcoming or ongoing activity.

"Only you could..."

"You're the only one I can trust..."

“I can’t make this request to anyone but you…”

6. Pedagogical suggestion.

Encourages specific actions.

“We can’t wait to get started…”

"I want to see you soon..."

7. High grade detail.

It helps to emotionally experience the success of not the result as a whole, but some of its individual details.

"You were especially good at that explanation."

“What I liked most about your work…”

"This part of your work deserves the highest praise."

The situation of success is especially important in working with children whose behavior is complicated by a number of external and internal reasons, since it allows them to remove aggression from them, overcome isolation and passivity. In such a case, the situation of success created by the teacher takes the form of a kind of puff pastry, where between the layers of dough (between two situations of success) there is a filling (a situation of failure).

The situation of failure is a subjective emotional experience of dissatisfaction with oneself in the course and result of an activity. It cannot be considered in isolation from the situation of success, but only as a stage in the transition from one success to another. Technologically, the creation of a situation of failure, apparently, consists of the same operations as the creation of a situation of success, but with the opposite vector orientation. The implementation of the technological algorithm begins with the last operation - the evaluation of the details of the activity. The pedagogical purpose of a situation of failure, as well as a situation of success, is to create conditions for the personal individual development of the child. The question of its creation cannot be raised by a teacher if he does not take into account the prospect of its transition to a situation of success, if the teacher does not believe in his preschooler, does not feel optimistic about his success. Satisfaction from personal achievements should accompany the child for a fairly significant period, perhaps even become familiar to him.

A child who has done quite well in the first five years of his life has no doubt that everything will be fine in the future. Educators know that this confidence may weaken, but not disappear for another five years, even if the teaching does not bring satisfaction. However, if a child repeatedly fails during the first five years of schooling, i.e. from five to ten years old, by the age of ten there will be no trace of his self-confidence, motivation disappears, and the child gets used to failure. Now he is convinced that he is not capable of solving the problems he faces. He is increasingly moving away from the search for love and self-respect, groping his way through the only, as it seems to him, left open paths for him - delinquency and withdrawal into himself. And although success in school is still possible, the chances of achieving them become less and less likely every year.

In conclusion, it can be noted that communication is the main condition for the development of the child, one of the most important points that determine the development of the relationship of children to adults. Most of all, the child is satisfied with the content of communication in which he already has a need.

In order for a child to be able to understand others, to communicate with adults, they must treat the child humanely, teach the child to actively enter into contacts with other people and treat the child with respect and love. However, adults do not always pay the necessary attention to communication, as one of the specific means of purposeful and active influence on children. But this influence should be exercised through suggestion and clarification, imitation and persuasion, accustoming and exercise, demand and control, encouragement and punishment. And if the use of these methods does not give the desired effect, then this is often associated with shortcomings and mistakes made by adults in communication and relationships with children, which often causes dissatisfaction in children and alienation from the elders in the family.

At an early age, the social situation of development and the leading activity of the child change. Situational-business communication with an adult becomes a form and means of organizing the child's objective activity.

A. S. Makarenko said, addressing parents: “Do not think that you are raising a child only when you talk to him, or teach him, or order him. You bring him up at every moment of your life, even when you are not at home. How you dress, how you talk to other people and about other people, how you feel happy or sad, how you treat friends or enemies - all this is of great importance to the child.
