Pedagogical Conditions for Using a Subject-Developmental Environment in Preparing Children Aged 6–7 for School Education

This theoretical article examines the pedagogical conditions for using a resource-rich learning environment to prepare children aged 6–7 for school. It aims to clarify the relationship between environmental organisation, teacher support and children’s independent activity. A qualitative content analysis draws on the Ilk Qadam curriculum, guidance on developmentally appropriate practice and a research review of guided play. The article synthesises pedagogical conditions and proposes activity examples and observational indicators for learning centres. The educational value of the environment is associated with meaningful participation and accessible materials. The proposed recommendations have not been empirically tested and require further evaluation in preschool settings.
