Formation of natural science concepts in older preschool children in the process of using digital educational resources in preschool institutions

the article analyzes the role of digital educational resources in the formation of scientific ideas among older preschoolers. It describes in detail the concepts of «representations» and «natural science representations», as well as highlights their key characteristics and features. Special attention is paid to the specifics of preschool children's learning about nature and its inhabitants, including the mechanisms that influence the formation of these ideas, and the importance of integrating modern technologies into the educational process. The components and structure of kindergarten teachers' work in this area are also described. The tasks solved by educators in this area are outlined in accordance with the documents regulating the activities of preschool educational organizations within the framework of the educational field of cognitive development. The authors emphasize the importance and necessity of introducing digital resources into the educational process of preschoolers, especially in the field of science education. They argue for the effectiveness of using such technologies based on the results of the conducted research. As part of the study, a comparative analysis of the level of natural science concepts among preschoolers was conducted before and after the use of digital educational resources. This allowed the authors to demonstrate the positive impact of digital technologies on the development of natural science knowledge and skills in preschool children.
