Local and International Experiences in Developing Computer Literacy Among Children Aged 6–7

This paper analyzes local and international pedagogical experiences in developing computer literacy among children aged 6–7 in preschool educational institutions. It examines the interrelationship between technical skills, cognitive activity, independent thinking, creativity, and safe technology use in the development of computer literacy. The principles of purposeful technology use, learning through play, and pedagogical support proposed in international research are compared with local preschool education practices. Based on the analysis, key aspects of a methodological approach that is appropriate to children's developmental characteristics, focused on practical activities, and organized in a gradual, step-by-step manner are summarized.
