DEVELOPMENTAL EDUCATIONAL
ENVIRONMENT AS A FACTOR
IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN'S
SUBJECTIVITY
Summary. In this article, the issues related to the
interactions between an individual and the social environment are analysed. The
educational environment is seen as a factor for the development of the
personality of its subjects. Various approaches to understanding the
educational environment as a system of opportunities for developing the
subjectivity of preschool children are considered. In the transitional
conditions where the State Standards of Preschool Education are applied, the
main components of the educational environment of early childhood, the
educational environment for the acquisition of the child's subjective position,
are in focus. The article contains a description of the results of a study on
the influence of the educational environment on the child's mastery of a
subjective position. It is proved that the child's subjective position in the
activity can be successfully developed already at the preschool age,
determining the integrity of his/her development, and the involvement of the
preschool child into the surrounding reality and the opportunity to create in
it. Analysis of the results of the empirical study has demonstrated that
studying the environment affects each subject of the educational process. Its
quality affects the personal development of children, including its
intellectual, social, and personal components. The educational environment of
early childhood enhances the development of subjectivity in preschool children,
being a systemic quality of personality and integrating such attributive
characteristics as liberty, independence, creativity, constructive interaction
with the environment, desire to acquire self-regulation through mastering the
motivating, and activating and directing functions of subjectivity.
