According to the concept of the House Glenn (Glenn Doman) founder of the Institute of Human Development, USA (The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential, PA, USA) on early child development, and the ability to assimilate new developments in inverse proportion to age. Child’s brain develops only when it is used, and the growing end to six years.
Studies of Japanese scientists in the field of physiology of the brain and child psychology have shown that the development of mental, physical and social abilities of the child depends on the stimulation and the degree of development of the brain in the period from birth to three years. It was during this period should be established all the conditions for the successful development of the child.
Today information technology has greatly increased the ability of parents, teachers and specialists in education, in particular early education. We believe that the use of modern computers allow the most complete and successfully implement the development of the child.
More and more families are able to buy a computer and use a universal tool for teaching the child at birth or even earlier. Using the computer for learning and development of young children can be divided into the following areas:
- Indirect instruction: the use of computers for preparing teaching materials. The education of young children (up to 3-5 years) has its own characteristics. Most tech learning reading, math, and encyclopedic knowledge developed at the Institute of Evan Thomas (Evan Thomas Institute). In the process of learning to read a text or graphical editors exempt parents from the design of visual materials.
After two years of starting the period of intensive work with parent’s methodical literature on child development. But the figures for employment are usually not enough. In the books they are black and white, small in size and sometimes poor quality. This assistance is provided by the library of great pictures.
Computer for the parents. The computer provides an invaluable service to adults: parents, educators and others: You can make all sorts of plans, activities through organizing, to an individual child’s diary, to record various data on it, test scores, build graphs, in general, follow the dynamics of child development.
But most importantly, in our opinion – is maintaining a database of books. Today was a very large number of books on education and development of children, many of the books reflected an integrated approach to learning, while others reflect the development of a certain quality, differentiating age groups, etc. No database is difficult to navigate in the literature.
Increasingly assumes the role of the Internet, where you can find information on early learning and development, innovative schools and foreign institutions of early development, conferences, establishing contacts with leading experts in the field of education.
Especially communication problems occur in remote regions where lack of qualified specialists in the field of early childhood education. It is necessary to create a family web club, where you can discuss online.
Direct instruction: the use of computer in child development. In this age period (of up to five years), the dominant activity of the child is playing. But today there is insufficient number of good computer programs that are designed for children of this age.
American specialists provide a number of requirements to be met by developing programs for children: research, the ease of a child for self-study, development of a wide range of skills and perceptions, the high technical level, age-matching, entertaining.
The features of the computer for a young child (up to 2-2, 5 years) are the inability to purposefully use the keyboard or mouse. Therefore, the principal assistant to be an adult. Its main task – to comment on their actions and events occurring on the screen, to help operate the mouse or keyboard.
Speaking on the use of the computer early childhood, there is the question of preserving the health and vision. It is reasonable to make a restriction class to a PC over time, but the involuntary attention of children of this age, very little (10-15 minutes), so that, in general, children can not stay long at the computer. Normally developing children in this age, moving 70-80% of time awake, so the question of “zasizhivanii” for the PC is not relevant.
Especially want to mention the period of “active” development of the computer of children, age 2, 5-3, 5 years. They already know how to deliberately hold the mouse and cause the program to the screen.
Unfortunately, we do not have a civilized market of training programs for this age group. If the child is already involved in foreign languages, the foreign programs quite a simple learned.
Let training programs for this age:
1. Interactive animations, live books in different languages.
2. Games for the development of memory, imagination, thinking, etc.
3. “Talking” dictionaries of foreign languages with a good animation.
4. Art Studio, a simple graphics editor with a library of drawings.
5. Games, Travel.
6. Simple program for learning reading, math, etc.
Thus, the use of information technology will make the process of learning and development of the child an early age is a simple and efficient, free of routine manual work will open new opportunities for early education.
