ICT - KEY RESOURCE IN DEVELOPING EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES IN KINDERGARTEN

Summary/Abstract: The introduction of modern means in kindergarten activities offers the teacher the opportunity to initiate the child into the mysteries of the modern world in which he lives, facilitating them from the earliest age, a better understanding of its living environment. In most cases, the teacher continues a step started in preschool stage, exploiting more the informative and formative valences of new technologies and less their playful side. Our study seeks diverse ways in which the computer can be involved in activities with preschoolers and it is based on an investigation conducted on a sample of 70 teachers. This research tries to demonstrate the important place modern means have in kindergarten, contributing to the proper assimilation of information leading to the formation of basic skills necessary for the full school education. It is useful to insist on the following aspects: the dynamic role of new technologies in the development of our society, the importance of children early initiation into ICT since kindergarten, the need to reconsider the concept of teaching in the light of strategies imposed by new means. Thus, the very notion of learning acquires new dimensions, allowing the child at the same time to discover and understand the world that surrounds him. ICT seen as a means of training brings an addition and an extra dimension to learning in kindergarten. New technologies do not establish a new disciplinary field, nor substitute fundamentally practical activities, but they must be designed as means of production, communication, documentation, discovery, experimentation, simulation and practice.
