Innovations in Education – Challenges and Opportunities for Children’s Cognitive Development

This report focuses on the cognitive development of children to enhance the quality of the educational process through the use of innovations in learning and practical situations, in basic and additional forms of pedagogical interaction. The interactive play environment organized by us in the classrooms and outdoors enabled the children to enrich their cognitive activity in a casual way, to activate their imagination and thinking, to perceive patterns of behavior, provoking the child to just reach a certain skill and apply it in their further activity. We have achieved all this with modern, up-to-date technology. Each pedagogical specialist has the freedom to choose and implement innovations in their daily pedagogical interaction that are consistent with the age and individual characteristics of the children in the group, with their social and emotional intelligence, with their assessment and self-assessment skills.
