DIAGNOSTIC POTENTIAL OF PLAY-BASED METHODS IN ASSESSING CHILDREN'S COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT

Summary/Abstract: The report examines the potential of play-based methods as a tool for diagnosing cognitive development in preschool children. Core cognitive domains – memory, thinking, attention, language skills, and problem-solving – are analyzed, with illustrative games and assessment criteria provided for each. Play is emphasized as a natural and stress-free context for observing children’s individual strategies and abilities. The paper outlines both the advantages and limitations of play-based diagnostics and proposes a model for its application in pedagogical practice. The suggested criteria are not limited to the specific games described but are transferable to other play activities with similar structure and aims, thus offering educators a flexible framework for monitoring and interpreting children’s achievements.
