Evolution of ideas about social intelligence in domestic and foreign studies

The paper presents the results of the study of social intelligence in order to identify its features as a resource for reducing biopsychological age in pensioners studying under the programmes of the Moscow Longevity Project. Modern ideas about social intelligence are analysed. Social intelligence is understood as an acquired ability that allows a person to better recognise and understand other people, to act wisely in human relations. The study involved 20 pensioners participating in educational programmes “Moscow Longevity” (average age - 64.4 years). The following methods were used: Guilford Social Intelligence Test (J. Guilford, M. O’Sullivan); complex methodology of diagnostics of biopsychological age (compiled by T.N. Berezina); questionnaire “Resource areas» (by T.N. Berezina). For data processing, the methods of descriptive statistics and correlation analysis by Spearman’s criterion were used. The results show that in pensioners of this sample, the ability to understand the logic of development of interaction situations and the meaning of human behaviour in these situations (“History with additions”) determines the reduction of biological age and indicators of developmental ageing. Indicators of social intelligence are related to the resources of life activity organisation: pensioners are more often involved in intellectual pursuits in various fields of science and technology, less often use humour, communication with others, spiritual practices and self-improvement, and do not seek risky behaviour. The results obtained contribute to the ideas about the relationship between social intelligence and the characteristics of biopsychological ageing and the organisation of resource areas of life activities of the participants in educational programmes of the Moscow Longevity Project.

The relevance of the research topic is due to the contradiction between the high educational potential of project activities for the intellectual, creative, social, personal development of pre-schoolers and the poor organization of methodical support for project activities in preschool institutions, as a result, project activity acquires a formal character, its essence as a developing means of education and upbringing, productive interaction between teachers, preschoolers and parents is distorted. Purpose: to substantiate the need to organize methodical support of project activities in preschool institutions and develop a structural and functional model of methodological support for project activities of older preschoolers in kindergarten. Research methods: as research methods, an analytical review of scientific sources on the problem of organizing project activities of preschoolers and a modelling method were chosen. Results: methodical support is reviewed from the position of system-organized interaction of the subjects of the educational process – participants in project activities (teachers, children, parents), aimed at achieving the planned project activities, the intellectual and creative development of preschoolers, the development of psychological and pedagogical competencies of parents, mastering their pedagogical experience of interaction with children, improving the professional competence of teachers. A structural-functional model of methodological support for the project activities of older preschoolers is proposed, including three interrelated modules that reflect the logic and functions of the process of methodological support (information-analytical, content-organizational, evaluative-reflexive). It is concluded that a necessary condition for ensuring the effectiveness of the project activities of older preschoolers in kindergarten is building relationships of social and pedagogical partnership between parents (families) of pupils and kindergarten teachers in order to integrate partners’ resources and coordinate joint actions to successfully solve pedagogical problems and achieving predicted results.
