The Problem of Plot Construction in Primary Schoolchildren’s Drawings (A Commentary to the Paper by Yu.A. Poluyanov)

Abstract

In this paper I present some commentaries to the paper by Yu.A. Poluyanov that was written in 2007 and is published in the current issue. The importance of his work is evident in the context of the actual tasks of raising the quality of psychological and pedagogical training of teachers in the present-day stage of development of the general education system. In the focus of the paper is the problem of spontaneous independence of initiative in primary schoolchildren at a particular stage when a teacher works with the children on the concepts of their drawings. Several examples are given to illustrate how the teacher can support the children in constructing plots for their drawings through discussions and individual work.
