Formation of Soft Skills in Preschool Children Based on Digital Technologies

The rapid development of digital technologies has significantly transformed early childhood education practices worldwide. This study examines the role of digital tools in developing soft skills among preschool children within the context of Uzbekistan’s evolving educational system. Using interactive educational applications, multimedia resources, and digital games, preschool educators can enhance children’s communication, collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving abilities. The research adopts a mixed-methods approach combining teacher surveys, classroom observations, and analysis of children’s behavioral outcomes. Findings indicate that the purposeful integration of digital technologies improves children’s social interaction, emotional regulation, and engagement in learning activities. However, challenges such as unequal access to digital infrastructure and limited teacher training remain critical barriers. The study highlights the importance of pedagogically guided digital integration to ensure balanced cognitive, social, and emotional development in early childhood education.
