Abstract
The article addresses the issue of effectively utilizing information technologies in the educational process of preschool institutions to foster a sustained interest among children towards the history, traditions, and cultural heritage of their native region. The aim of the study is to develop and substantiate a methodology that allows successful integration of digital resources into the teaching and upbringing activities of young learners.
The research materials include scientific publications by domestic and foreign specialists, dissertation studies, as well as results from experiments conducted at real-life kindergartens. Researchmethods encompassed theoretical analysis of literature, psychopedagogical diagnostics, expert evaluation of lessons and events, analysis of children’s works, and statistical data processing.
Scientific novelty lies in creating an original model combining systemic, personal, activity-based, and cultural approaches along with active use of information technology. The study demonstrates how this model contributes to deep engagement of children in studying their local culture, enhances their motivation, and improves learning outcomes.
The findings emphasize the need for further development in the field of ethnocultural education for preschoolers, taking advantage of modern digital tools aimed at preserving and passing on unique cultural traditions to future generations.
