Development of a collection of interactive exercises for easy memorization

 

Nowadays, throughout the world, we see that usage of the computer in the development of a fully developed personality starts in the kindergarten and becomes the common practice. In this situation the question whether or not to use information technology in the pre-school pedagogy stays very relevant. The matter is that children who come in preschool already have computer skills, because they receive them in their families. In our opinion, it’s necessary to use all advantages of the computer as a mean of developing the child's abilities, the formation of developed personality. The more a child intellectually developed, the more opportunities the educator can use in teaching.

The quality of education and development of personality increase, if  computer technologies are used in preschool. By the moment when these children go to school they are usually more prepared since the world of knowledge had already been opened for them in kindergarten. We can not ignore modern technologies of information transmission, because they give us new opportunities in the field of education.

The implementation of effective methods and forms of training in preschools will  lead to tremendous results. We would like to devote our study to the methods of development of children’s memory with the help of a computer.

Memory - a form of mental reflection, which consists in securing, maintaining, and  successive simulation of previous experience, making possible to reuse it in activities or return to the sphere of consciousness. Only memory can connect the past with the present and the future. It is vital, it is the basic human ability. Only thanks to our memory the subject can function and develop. All  creatures have memory, however humans’ memory is developed much more better. The animals have developed genetic and mechanical memory, a human being has them also but beside them he has arbitrary, logical and mediated memory. All of these types of memory are necessary for people in order to collect and then to use the experience.

Memory begins to develop from the very birth. First of all intellectual activity develops, and therefore the memory itself. As for children, intellectual activity involves the development of skills to analyze, to release properties and characteristics of various subjects, to compare, to implement generalizations and associations, classification, establishment of semantic relationships. The quality of their memory depends on how active the child is in relation to objects, pictures and words, how he ponders them, how he groups them, how understands them. If you just engaged by viewing the pictures, rather than lay them in their places, memorizing will be much worse. This supposition was taken as the basis for diploma project devoted to development of a children's memory.

The objective of our research is development of a collection of interactive exercises for easy memorization "Practising memory", which can be used for the development of preschool and primary school aged children. The process of gradual creation of a collection of exercises for the development of a children's memory is the object of our study. The subject of the study is the creation of interactive exercises for easy memorization.

Once the objective is identified, the subject and object of research are determined, it is necessary to identify the problems which have to be solved with the help of the developed collection. Here are some of them:

- the existence of a block of exercises for the development of auditory memory of children;

- the existence of a block of exercises for development of visual memory of children;

- colorful design of the interface;

- registration of users of the program;

- storing the results of the exercises in the database;

- sound assignments.
