| Abstract [eng] |
Theoretical analysis carried out in the work disclosed that a very important principle of child speech development is complexity, where art more and more often becomes an important link between work of pedagogues and children of special needs, because conditions for the development of children’s communication and speech are formed when creating. A hypothesis was raised, that clay modeling used in the activities of children’s development is effective on development of children speech. An action-activity research was carried out, the purpose of it was to create and test a practical clay modeling module and to reveal its effectiveness on development of children speech. 9 preschool children, having speech backwardness of various levels, insignificant and significant, participated in the research. The main criteria of the selection of children for the research: speech disorder, preschool age. In the empirical part the results were analyzed using qualitative analysis method – collected, analyzed using comparative analysis method. The development of every child’s speech was analyzed, used parts of speech were calculated, change was fixated when looking at pictures and clay modeling. The analyses revealed the most important conclusions of the research: 1. The database of the research showed that the chosen research method – the sessions led during the examination of activities, implementing clay modeling model, extended the speech of children – when clay modeling children spoke in sentences, named their models, tools, created playful situations, hence creating a speaking motive for themselves, talked to each other a lot, the speech of children when modeling was much more versatile than the speech when telling about the pictures. When comparing the speech of children when telling about the pictures and speech while modeling, as well calculating the used parts of speech, it was noticed that the use of all parts of speech increased significantly when modeling. When implementing the clay modeling activity model not all children improved in modeling, but in the process of modeling everyone became braver, gained creative self-confidence, got familiar with the substance, tools. 2. Empirical averages of differences between results of the analysis, the criteria, confirm the hypothesis that clay modeling used in the activities of children’s development is effective on development of children speech. |
