Sensory education: foundations and structure.

Abstract

The article reveals psychological and pedagogical aspects of sensory education. The paper offers categorical analysis of the concept “sensory education” in two aspects - psychological (perceptual processes) and pedagogical (targeted impact on the process of perception). The main interrelated components of human sensory systems are sensation, perception, and representation. Based on the study by L. Wenger, A. Zaporozhets’, O. Usovа and others the author draws attention to the age-specific improvement of the sensual sphere in primary school children. The paper also provides the interpretation of the process of education by different teachers ( S. Goncharenko, S. Maksimyuk, A. Rudnitskaya, N.Fitsula, V.Yagupov) and determines the components of sensory education – target-oriented (general purpose; partial problems), informative (knowledge of sensory standards; acquirement of the means of the survey), processual (methods, forms, resources) and effective (developed sensory skills).

Key words:
