FORMATION OF MORAL BEHAVIOR IN CHILDREN BY MEANS OF ORIGINAL DIDACTIC FAIRY TALE

The paper deals with the issue of the formation of moral behavior of children by means of an original didactic fairy tale. The main requirements for the content of such a tale, which allow it to act as a means of moral education, are as follows: simplicity and ease of perception; the identity of the story line of personal experience and the life of a preschooler; the presence of moral ideas, an emotional and sensory component. The study aims to test the experimental methodology for the formation of moral deeds in 5-6-year-old children by means of the original didactic fairy tale. The method involves the implementation of the following stages: cognitive-motivational (the formation of ideas about norms and rules of moral behavior, understanding the motives of heroes’ behavior); sensory and evaluation (development of children’s moral experiences and feelings, empathy and reflection skills); activity (formation of internal needs in moral actions, children’s ability to match the behavior of heroes with their own ones). The experiment involved 25 preschoolers. As a result of the experiment, the efficiency of the suggested technique has been proved..
