Forms of organization of child labor
The work of preschool children in kindergarten is organized in three main forms: assignments, compulsory work and collective labor activity.
Assignments are tasks that the teacher occasionally assigns to one or more children, taking into account their age and individual abilities, experience and learning goals.
Tasks can be short or long, individual or general, simple (with a simple specific action) or more complex, with a chain of sequential actions.
Carrying out work assignments helps children develop an interest in work and a sense of responsibility for the assigned task. The child must focus his attention, show willpower to complete the task and inform the teacher when it is completed.
In younger groups, tasks are individual, specific and simple and involve one or two actions (put a spoon on the table, bring a watering can, remove clothes from a doll for washing, etc.). Such elementary tasks involve children in activities aimed at the benefit of the team, in conditions where they are not yet able to independently organize the work.
In the middle group, the teacher instructs the children to wash doll clothes, wash toys, sweep paths, and rake sand into a pile. These tasks are more difficult, since they contain not only several actions, but also elements of self-organization (prepare a place to work, determine the order of work, etc.).
In the older group, individual tasks are organized in work where children's skills are not sufficiently developed, or when they are learning new skills. Individual tasks are also given to children who need additional training or particularly close supervision (when the child is inattentive and often distracted), that is, when it is necessary to individualize methods of influence.
In the preschool group, children must demonstrate the necessary self-organization skills when performing general tasks, and therefore the teacher is more demanding of them, moving from explanation to control, to reminder.
Duty duty is an organizational form of child labor that involves mandatory work performance, focused on serving the team. Children are alternately involved in various types of services, which ensures their systematic participation in the work. The distribution and rotation of duties is carried out on a daily basis. Debt has great educational value. They put the child in a state of obligatory performance of certain work necessary for the team. This allows children to develop responsibility for the group, a caring attitude and an understanding of the importance of their work for everyone.
In the younger group, while running errands, children acquired the skills necessary to set the table and became more independent in completing work. This allows the middle group to introduce canteen duty at the beginning of the year. One person works at each table every day. In the second half of the year, children are on duty to prepare for classes. In older groups, duty in natural corners is introduced. The attendants change daily, each of the children systematically participates in all types of services.
Collective work is the most complex form of organizing children's work. It is often used in the senior and preparatory groups of kindergarten, when skills become more stable and the results of work have practical and social significance. Children already have sufficient experience with various types of services and assignments. Expanding opportunities allows the teacher to solve more complex tasks of labor education: teaching children to negotiate upcoming work, work at the right pace, and complete a task at a certain time. In the older group, the teacher uses a form of uniting children such as joint work, when children are given a common task for all, and at the end of the work the overall result is added up.
In the preparatory group, joint work takes on special importance when children are dependent on each other in the process of work. Working together gives the teacher the opportunity to develop positive forms of communication between children: the ability to politely address each other with requests, agree on joint actions, and help each other.

Child Labor Management
Of great importance for developing children's ideas about decent work and fostering a positive attitude towards work is how systematically it is organized.
As a rule, it is quite easy for an adult to awaken the desire to work in children aged 5-7 years. This can be explained by the desire of older preschoolers for active practical actions, imitation of adults, sincere trust in them and their increased emotionality.
At the same time, in children of this age there is a discrepancy between the desire to work and the ability to participate in work. Thus, the desire to work develops faster than mastery of work skills. Insufficient physical development, unstable attention, lack of self-control, lack of willpower compared to an adult, all this leads to the fact that children who have a great desire to work turn out to be incapable and drop out of the labor process early. As a result, their work often ends in failure and therefore does not bring them joy or satisfaction. And a person who does not feel joy from success at work will never love work and will try to get rid of it.
When organizing the work of older preschoolers, it is necessary to take into account such factors as the expediency of work, timely switching to other types of work, changing working posture (this eliminates physical fatigue and promotes concentration) and the correct alternation of work and rest for children.
No less important is the nature of the work itself, its properties. Thus, making paper toys, baking cookies, picking vegetables and berries is varied and episodic work. There is a lot of novelty and emotionality in it. Self-care and housework, on the other hand, are monotonous and repetitive day after day. This type of work requires children to have more patience, constant hard work and daily self-control. Naturally, it is much easier and more willing for children to engage in work that is episodic in nature than daily self-care tasks in kindergarten and at home. While putting their playground in order at home, making the bed, putting shoes and clothes in order, wiping dust from furniture, etc., they must understand the need for this work.
The task of teachers and parents is to instill in them a positive emotional attitude towards any type of work and to do this, create conditions that will ensure that children develop the habit of work and hard work.
In this context, it is very important to develop in children both labor skills and abilities, as well as motives for work and the right attitude towards people around them. The last two points are the most important when it comes to instilling in children a desire to work. Firstly, because a child who has mastered the skills can perform work only out of fear of punishment, under the influence of adult demands, or out of a desire to satisfy his immediate interest; the educational value of such work is extremely low. Secondly, children’s attitude towards work depends on the moral incentives that guide them.
The focus is not only on the skills and abilities associated with the job, but also on the attitude towards the person who gives the task or for whose sake it is to be completed, as well as the attitude towards the event for which he is working. Thus, motives of a moral and social nature - work for the benefit of others, a caring attitude towards relatives and strangers, adults and peers - are very important for the formation of a positive emotional attitude towards work in children. Therefore, children must, first of all, understand the purpose of work.
E.A. Klimov believes that the development of a person of preschool and school age as a potential subject of labor significantly depends on the system of interpersonal relationships in which he is included and for which the adult generation is primarily responsible.
Many teachers and psychologists have repeatedly noted that the work of children should have great social significance. This should not be a game with work, but real work. The task of adults is to show children the objective necessity of their work and thereby contribute to the development of their sense of duty.
How should such work be organized?
Before starting work, it is necessary to explain to the children the need for the proposed work, to show the need for the people around them (educator, nurse, teacher) for their work. A clearly defined, socially significant goal - for example, to help adults put things in order - activates children's activities and determines their attitude towards work. It is important for them not only to be first and get the flag, but also to do their job well.
It is a mistake to think that it is too early for children aged 5-7 to talk about high work goals. On the contrary, in older preschool age, when children perceive everything directly, when they begin to understand the social significance of the work of the Russian people, such conversations are necessary, but they must be accessible, understandable, and accompanied by clear examples. Children's awareness of high, socially significant goals of work, their emotional passion for it is the main incentive for the active involvement of preschoolers in various types of work.
Adults should connect children's desire to work with the direct organization of work activities in order to help them understand the relationship between socially valuable work and self-service, the need to master work skills, and also help them master manual skills and housework.
In the process of labor education, it is important to move from teaching labor skills to applying the acquired skills in everyday life. As V.A. Sukhomlinsky wrote, the labor skills acquired by children should not be considered as the final goal of labor education. They are a necessary condition for children to achieve socially significant work goals and develop their desire to work.

The importance of a collective form of work for the formation of a child’s personality
Showing social activity, each student perceives the team as an arena for self-expression and self-affirmation as an individual. Thanks to pedagogical support of social life, the desire to assert oneself in the eyes of one’s own and peers finds favorable soil in the team. Only in a group are such important personality traits as self-esteem, self-acceptance and self-respect formed, that is, acceptance or non-acceptance of one’s own person.
The educational team, as defined by I.F. Kozlov, who specifically studied Makarenko’s work, is a scientifically organized system for educating children’s lives. The organization of collective educational-cognitive, value-oriented activities and communication creates conditions for the formation and implementation of intellectual and moral freedom. Only in the activities of collective life are the intellectual and moral orientations of an individual, his civic position, and a set of socially significant skills and abilities formed.
The role of the team in organizing the work activities of children cannot be replaced by anything. In a team setting, this stimulates the manifestation of mutual responsibility for the final results of work and mutual assistance.
The formation of collective planning skills contributes to the emergence in children of a desire for self-control, independent improvement of methods and skills necessary for the implementation of an independent plan, and an increased sense of responsibility. And the result of collective planning is the high quality of the jointly obtained result of work activity.
Successful achievement of a goal largely depends on the ability to control one’s own activity. Children 3-4 years old do not notice mistakes in their work and consider it good, regardless of how and what result is achieved. They are critical of the work of their peers. At the age of 5-7 years, preschoolers try to correctly evaluate their work, although they do not notice all the mistakes, but only the most serious ones. They are interested in the quality of work. Therefore, they turn to an adult with questions about the correctness and quality of their own work activities.
The teacher invites all children to bake cookies, plant onions, wash the dolls’ clothes (the number of children can be very different: from 2-3 to 6-7, and in older groups even more). Each of the children is given a specific task, for example: take a piece of dough, roll it out and cut out cookies with a cookie cutter, or take several onions, let the teacher show which path, marked with a line, needs to be planted, and start working, etc.
Children work side by side. But when the work process is completed, the mentor sums up the results. Thus, he can point out the advantage of teamwork: Everyone did a little work, but together they achieved a lot. This is the simplest join; only the results are joined. But in this task, the teacher tells the children as they work: “We must try to keep up with others. Don't keep your friends waiting. And taking into account the capabilities and level of ability of a particular child, he will provide such an amount of work for everyone that everyone can do the work at approximately the same time.
This form of association is a transition from working side by side to working together.
As children gain experience in participating in work and master skills, as well as the rules for organizing their own work activities, as their development of certain principles of hard work increases (that is, as they solve previously set educational tasks), the teacher begins to move on to more complex tasks.
It is important to develop in children the beginnings of collectivism, the ability to work together, help each other, see the difficulties of comrades and offer their services, seek help from peers, rejoice at their successes, overall results of work, and so on. These tasks are most successfully solved when children work together.
