Preschool Aged the Children's Aesthetic Education Methods: An Integrative Approach and Practical Assessment

This article discusses the theoretical foundations, principles, and practical methods of aesthetic education of preschool children based on an integrative approach. Aesthetic education forms the child's skills in perceiving, feeling, evaluating, and creatively expressing beauty, and serves the development of emotional stability, speech, thinking, and fine motor skills. The methods used were the analysis of normative documents and pedagogical sources, observation of classes, and the modeling of a practical model consisting of the components 'environment-activity-communicationevaluation'. As a result, systematic recommendations for the organization of aesthetic education in preschool conditions and an observation-based assessment rubric were proposed.
