Kirakosyan, A. Kh. Working with Psychological Readiness of a Child for School

Abstract: Based on the theoretical analysis, the author of the article shares her views on psychological assistance at schools as the way to help a child be ready for studying at school. Analyzing the role of psychological assistance in the educational process, its goals and efficiency criteria as well as peculiarities of certain measures undertaken by a teacher to help a child get more successful at school, the author of the article suggests that w should view psychological readiness for school as the purpose and subject matter of psychological assistance. Psychological readiness for school consists of the following components: cognitive, emotional and motivational. Methodological grounds of this research involve the activity approach to teaching. According to this approach, child’s development consists of different stages of his activity. The author’s approach to psychological school ability allows to prove that even though the main indication for psychological assistance involves only the cognitive component (usually, school failures), psychological assistance should be aimed at motivational and emotional components in the first place in order to increase efficiency of the future education.


Keywords:
