Educational robotics is a means of activating the cognitive development of older preschool children
This article is devoted to the analysis of educational robotics as one of the modern and promising technologies in the field of cognitive development of older preschoolers. It focuses on the organic implementation of educational robotics in the functioning of preschool educational institutions. Construction is traditionally considered in age psychology as a type of child's activity that universally stimulates the development of all cognitive processes. The article describes the principles of organization and stages of conducting educational and developmental classes with preschoolers on the example of the pedagogical experience of teachers of the International Network of Robotics Sections. The influence of robotic design and learning the basics of programming on the development of the child's cognitive processes at each stage of classes is shown. Cognitive neoplasms that are formed in the classroom of educational robotics are identified.
