Capabilities of information technologies in introducing the children to the world of professions

Abstract

The article is concerned with the use of information technologies in the process of introducing over-fives to the world of professions. The topicality of the issue selected for the study is directly related to the problem of vocational-oriented education of a personality, which occurs mainly at the stage of secondary school age. Theoretical studies have been analyzed, according to which it has been found that self-determination of a personality and his/her development begins with the preschool age of a child. Unfortunately, even in adolescence, children are not always familiar with the wide boundaries of the world of professions of the adults, which results in a narrow range of choice of their own profession. Thus far, it has been noted in psychological and pedagogical studies that early vocational-oriented education of a child is an effective and necessary means for the future personal fulfillment of an individual. The information is of practical importance, since it allows a child to discover the world of professions by means of various games, walking tours, through communication with representatives of a particular profession, as well as with the use of information technologies, which is, in our opinion, an innovative and effective means of introducing preschoolers to the world of professions. This range of problems is multifaceted.
