Model of social intelligence development in senior preschoolers in the process of joint activity

The focus of preschool education national system is on the positive socialization of the individual, the development of flexible social behavior skills in children, the basis of which is social intelligence. The development of the basic parameters of social intelligence (cognitive, emotional, behavioral) most successfully occurs in the process of joint activity of a child with peers and adults. Joint activity with peers creates the prerequisites for positive socialization, the formation of the foundations of collective relationships, the development of communicative abilities, the development of leadership qualities of the child, the improvement of children's cooperation, the overcoming of the egocentrism objectively characteristic of preschool children, expressed in the first attempts to act in the interests of other people. We propose a model for the social intelligence development in older preschoolers in the process of joint activities of various subject areas, which includes two parts: the first part reproduces the structural and functional relationships between the main components of the model and serves as a source for teachers to develop methodological tools for the development of social intelligence; the second part of the model reproduces the successive stages of the educational work of the teacher on the development of social intelligence in older preschoolers in the process of joint activity in the conditions of a preschool educational organization.
