Abstract
Given the current socio-political and economic circumstances, the article analyzes and updates the pedagogical ideas of the prominent Ukrainian practitioner and educator Sofia Rusova on the labor education of preschool children. The purpose of the article is to analyze, systematize and characterize the components of the concept of labor education of preschool children in the pedagogical heritage of S. Rusova. The significance, content, forms and methods of labor education of preschool children in the pedagogical heritage of the practicing teacher are revealed.In the context of finding ways to implement the Basic Component of Preschool Education at the present stage, the need for timely involvement of the child in feasible labor activity is proved.The author analyzes the pedagogical works of the scientist, which outline the theoretical and methodological foundations of labor education of children. The types of children’s labor (self-service, gardening, manual labor with various materials, household labor), requirements for it (interesting, feasible, pleasant, not tiring the child, not monotonous, corresponding to the age and individual characteristics of children, having a socializing effect, developing inclinations and abilities) are considered separately. The content and methods of organizing child labor are highlighted. The author emphasizes the educational possibilities of using various types of manual labor (drawing, cutting, gluing, modeling, weaving, embroidery, wood carving) and various natural materials.It is proved that the creative work of S. Rusova on the ideas of labor education of preschool children is a vivid testimony to the development of Ukrainian pedagogical theory and practice in the early twentieth century. The historical experience of the past and its potential for constructive use in the practice of modern preschool education institutions of Ukraine are rethought
