Abstract

New various approaches to pre-school moral education are analyzed in the article. Urgency and complexity of this task and inadequacy of traditional methods based on moral standards and rules of behaviour acquisition, encouragement and reproach, higher self-appraisal, etc. are dwelt upon. The idea of L.S. Vygotsky who emphasizes that moral education cant be based on laws and rules of behavior are also viewed upon. It is proved that moral education is inseparably connected with the development of interpersonal relations with the peers. Age-related dynamics of relationships to a peer at preschool age (from 3 to 7) is described. A special attention is given to problem forms of interpersonal relationships (aggressiveness, demonstrativity, shyness, etc.). In the final part of the article principles and stages of moral education focused neither on explanations, nor on positive examples display but on the development of spontaneous interrelations between children, perception of a peer not as an opponent or rival but as a partner are presented.
