Assessment of the demand for psycho-gymnastics in preschool institutions of the Republic of Kazakhstan

Abstract

Psychogymnastics has established itself as a method of developing all mental processes of a child's personality. The purpose of the study is to assess the demand for psychohymnastics in preschool organizations of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The authors draw attention to the lack of a mechanism in determining this assessment and the need for its development. The main methods of assessing the demand for psychohymnastics are literature analysis, questionnaire survey of 117 educators. The results of the survey indicate a low level of demand for psychohymnastics in practice. Two main reasons are highlighted: 1) educators do not know the theory and methodology of the organization of psychohymnastics, do not have knowledge about its advantages and effectiveness of application; 2) the material on psychohymastics is developed in Russian, so efforts will be required to develop materials in Kazakh. In order to increase the level of demand for psychohymnastics in practice, educators should be aware of the possibilities of psychohymnastics, have the skills to use it.
