| Annotation: | The article presents an analysis of the significance of using information technology in the educational process of children in preschool educational institutions, based on the works of several researchers. The study examines the possibilities, challenges, and prospects of using information technology in teaching older preschool children with visual impairments, specifically in the formation and development of basic mathematical concepts. The research hypothesis suggests that the development of basic mathematical concepts in older preschool children with visual impairments will be most effective when interactive information technology tools are used, as this stimulates cognitive interest and active participation in the educational process. The integration of various types of mathematical activities using interactive tools and game-based tasks contributes to positioning preschoolers as active participants in the learning process. An empirical study conducted at the municipal budgetary preschool educational institution “Compensatory Kindergarten No. 49 ‘Topolek’” for children with visual impairments in Pskov, involving children, educators, and parents, revealed key socio-psychological and pedagogical problems: speech difficulties (inability to express thoughts), difficulties understanding tasks, lack of confidence, underdeveloped logical and spatial thinking, errors in using numbers after four, low motivation to complete tasks, and other issues. To address these problems, an interactive lesson program utilizing information technology tools was developed and implemented, aligned with the curriculum for the development of basic mathematical concepts for children aged 6-7 years. This program created conditions for positioning the preschooler as an active participant in the educational process through the integration of various types of mathematical activities using interactive tools. | ||
