The Effectiveness of Neuro-Pedagogical Interventions in the Development of Creative Skills in Preschool Children

Abstract

In the research work, the effectiveness of neuroeducational interventions in the development of creative skills in preschool children in a preschool organization is comprehensively examined. The aim of the research is to scientifically substantiate the impact of neuroeducational methods, which include cognitive, motor, emotional-social, and artistic-visual components, on enhancing the creative potential of 5-year-old children. The study defines neuroeducational interventions from both theoretical and practical perspectives through the interconnection of classical and contemporary scientific works. The integration of classical scientific concepts and modern neuroscience forms the theoretical and methodological basis of interventions aimed at developing creative skills in preschool children. The experimental work was conducted over 12 months and implemented through control and experimental groups. The intervention program included brain gymnastics, rhythm-coordination exercises, neurography, art-therapeutic tasks, social-emotional methods for recognizing emotions, as well as cognitive tasks aimed at developing divergent thinking.

The results of the study showed that neuroeducational interventions significantly improved attention concentration, memory, imaginative thinking, motor coordination, emotional recognition and regulation abilities, as well as artistic-creative expression skills in children. The development dynamics in the experimental group were significantly higher than in the control group across all components: cognitive (+12%), motor (+12%), emotional-social (+13%), and artistic-visual skills (+17%). The Cohen’s d index confirmed the strong effect of the intervention (1.80), which indicates the high scientific and practical significance of the applied methods. The authors scientifically substantiated that the systematic introduction of neuroeducational interventions into the process of preschool education plays an important role in developing children's creative skills. The interventions provided comprehensive development through brain activation, enhanced interhemispheric integration, improved emotional self-regulation, and stimulated imaginative creativity. The results obtained demonstrate that the implementation of neuroeducational methods and tools in the organized educational activities of preschool children is an effective model that reveals cognitive, motor, emotional-social, and artistic-visual abilities, and supports the development of their creative skills.
