DEVELOPING LOGICAL THINKING OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN THROUGH ROBOTICS
Abstract
The rapid development of digital technologies has significantly influenced modern education systems, including early childhood education. Robotics has become an innovative educational tool that helps develop cognitive, creative, and problem‑solving abilities in young learners. This article examines the role of robotics in developing logical thinking skills among preschool children. Logical thinking is an essential component of cognitive development that enables children to analyze situations, identify relationships, and make reasoned decisions. The study highlights the pedagogical potential of robotics activities in preschool settings and explains how interactive technological tools can stimulate children's curiosity, reasoning abilities, and collaborative learning. The article also discusses practical strategies for integrating robotics into preschool education and outlines the benefits
of robotics‑based learning environments for young children.
