Competence-based approach to pedagogical correction of sound culture of preschool children’s speech

At the present stage of science development, the problem of essence and practical implementation of the competence-based approach into education is widely discussed. The analysis of the contents and results of scientific research has shown that the issues concerning the competence-based approach to the pedagogical correction of sound culture of preschool children's speech have been studied insufficiently. The purpose of the paper is to study the essence of the competence-based approach in the system of education as well as to determine the extent of the knowledge devoted to the use of the outlined phenomenon in the correction of sound culture of children's speech. The analysis of psychological and pedagogical research of the problem related to the competence-based approach in education, speech development, correction of sound culture of children's speech has been made. The analysis of psychological and pedagogical researches of the problem regarding person's competences allowed allocating, in our opinion, the most complete definition of the specified concept which was offered by the Academician A. Bogush. “Competence” is a complex characteristic of a person which includes the results of preliminary psychological development: knowledge, skills, creativity (the ability to solve problems creatively: to make up creative stories, drawings and designs according to the plan), leadership role, independence, self-esteem and self-control [Bogush]. In order to pursue the competence-based approach in correcting sound culture of preschool children's speech it seems to be important to consider that in the structure of the personality, these functions of competence can be actualised: motivational-incentive, gnostical, activity-centred, emotional-volitional, value-oriented and reflexive, communicative. Theoretical research aimed at substantiating the essence of the competence-based approach to person's activity allows us to admit the necessity to elaborate as well as to verify the experimental methods facilitating the pedagogical correction of the sound culture of preschool children's speech on the basis of the designated approach.
