FORMATION OF ENTREPRENEURIAL COMPETENCE IN PRESCHOOL CHILDREN: EXAMPLES OF GOOD PRACTICES IN THE DIGITAL EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

The article highlights the importance of developing entrepreneurial competence in the process of the harmonious formation of the preschool child’s personality. This educational approach should be initiated from the early education stage, as the age range of 3–6/7 years is characterized by significant cognitive and affective-attitudinal acquisitions, favorable for the development of this key competence. The shaping of entrepreneurial competence at preschool age does not aim at the early acquisition of the entrepreneur profession, but rather at the formation of a responsible personality, with initiative, autonomy, and the ability to adapt to various life situations. Considering the specificity of preschool age and the transformations generated by the digitalization of education, the process of developing entrepreneurial competence requires the use of appropriate teaching methods and strategies, materialized through interactive activities integrated into the digital educational environment, with an emphasis on play, collaboration, and experiential learning.Within this framework, the article synthesizes a series of good practice examples that utilize digital resources, aimed at shaping entrepreneurial competences in preschool children.
