Management of Children’s Participation in Preschool Education

Abstract

: Educational institutions are institutional frameworks, in which the child learns values and norms of the society, learns to socialize. The phenomenon of the concept of children’s participation is its genesis in the political framework set by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, relatively less – by scientific sources, thus making the substance of the concept legally regulated from the very beginning. The topicality of the issue is determined by the need in the management guidelines based on theoretical findings, setting out how to ensure the implementation of children’s participation in practice in preschool education and thus contribute to closing the gap between political decisions and educational practices. The aim of the article is to determine the directions for the management of children's participation in early childhood education, based on scientific theoretical knowledge of comprehension of the concept of children's participation and management theories in the context of early childhood education, to conduct an empirical study of the situation and to give suggestions for the management of children's participation in early childhood education.
