Yirasek core school maturity test stimulus material. Methodology "orientation test of school maturity" by kern-jirasek

The main purpose of the test is to establish the degree of mental maturity of the child to determine the possibility of admission to school.

The methodology is a modification of A. Kern's school maturity test, which originally consisted of six tasks. From this test, Jirasek chose three tasks: drawing a male figure, imitating written letters, and sketching a group of dots. All tasks are of a graphic nature and are aimed at determining the development of fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. The inclusion of a drawing of a male figure from memory in the structure of the test allows for an approximate assessment of the general mental development of a child, as well as obtaining indirect information about his personality characteristics (in this case, the interpretation is based on K. Makhover's test "Draw a man").

Jirasek conducted a study to establish the relationship between the success of the school maturity test and success in further education. It turned out that children who did well on the test tend to do well in school. However, it was found that some of the children (30%) who performed poorly on the test performed excellent and good results in school. Therefore, Jirasek emphasizes that the test result is a relatively reliable basis for a conclusion about school maturity and is insufficient for a reliable assessment of immaturity (for example, there are cases when capable children sketch a person, which significantly affects their total score). The author of the test also notes the limitations of the methodology due to the non-use of verbal subtests, which make it possible to draw a conclusion about the development of logical thinking (the test of school maturity basically allows us to judge the development of sensorimotor skills).

Test tasks are performed by the subjects according to the instructions and the sample. The test can be applied individually and in a group.

The performance of each task is evaluated on a five-point system (1 is the highest score, 5 is the lowest), and then the total is calculated for all tasks.

Test procedure

Exercise 1. Drawing of a male figure.

Instructions: "Draw a person here the way you can."

Task 2. Imitation of written letters.

Instructions: “Look, something is written here. You haven't learned how to write yet, but try it, maybe you can too. Take a good look at how it is written, and here, next to (on the right), write the same from scratch. "

Sample "Imitation of Written Letters":

Task 3. Drawing a group of points.

Instructions: “Look, there are dots drawn here. Try and draw next to it exactly the same. "

Draw a Group of Points Sample

Data processing

The assessment of the test performance (marks from 1 to 5) is carried out for each task separately.

Exercise 1. Drawing of a male figure.

1 point- the drawn figure must have a head, torso and limbs. The head is connected to the body by means of the neck, and it is no larger than the body. The head has hair (or is covered by a hat or hat) and ears, eyes, nose and mouth on the face. The arms are finished with hands, each with five fingers. The legs are bent below. Man's clothes. The figure is drawn using the so-called synthetic method.

2 points- fulfillment of all the requirements, as in paragraph 1, except for the synthetic image method. The three missing parts (neck, hair, one finger of the hand, but not part of the face) can be excluded from the requirements if this is balanced in a synthetic way of imaging.

3 points- the drawing must have a head, torso and limbs. The arms or legs are drawn with a double line. No neck, ears, hair, clothing, fingers or feet are allowed.

4 points- a primitive drawing with a torso. The limbs (one pair is enough) are expressed with only simple lines.

5 points- there is a lack of a clear image of the body ("cephalopod" image or overcoming the "cephalopod" image) or both limbs.

Task 2. Imitation of written letters.

1 point- perfectly satisfactory (in the sense of reading) imitation of the written sample. The initial letter has a noticeable capital letter height. The letters are well connected in two words. The rewritten sentence does not deviate from the horizontal line by more than 30 °.

2 points- sufficiently legible imitation of the written sentence. The size of the letters and the observance of horizontality are not taken into account.

3 points- it is obvious that the partition is at least two parts. You can make out at least four letters of the pattern.

4 points- at least two letters are similar to the sample. The whole also forms the line of "scripture".

5 points- doodles.

Below are the samples to evaluate the test.

Task 3. Drawing a group of points (key).

1 point- almost perfect imitation of the model. Only a very small deviation of one point from a row or column is allowed. Reducing the picture is unacceptable, the increase should not be more than half. The drawing should be parallel to the sample.

2 points- the number and location of points must correspond to the sample. Even three points can be allowed to deviate by half the space between rows or columns.

3 points- the whole is similar in its contour to the sample. In height and width, it does not exceed it more than twice. The number of points should not be more than 20 or less than 7. Any rotation is allowed - even 180 °.

4 points- the drawing no longer looks like a sample in its contour, but it still consists of dots. The size of the pattern and the number of dots are irrelevant. Other shapes (lines) are not allowed.

5 points- doodles.

Samples for evaluating test performance are shown below.

The total test result is calculated: this is the sum of points for individual tasks. The test allows you to determine an approximate assessment of general mental development. If the test is carried out in a group (enough for two children at the same time), then it is also checked whether the child is able to submit to work in a collective setting, as required in school.

The development of children who received a total of 3 to 6 points on three tasks is considered above average, from 7 to 11 - as average, from 12 to 15 - below the norm. Children who have received 12-15 points should be examined in depth.

Often, the Kern-Jirasek test is used to diagnose the knowledge of children entering school. This test allows parents to understand if their child is ready for school.

Yirasek's orientation test of school maturity, which is a modification of Kern's test, consists of 3 tasks: imitation of written letters, sketching a group of dots, drawing a male figure according to representation. The result is evaluated on a five-point system, and then the total is calculated for all three tasks. This technique allows you to determine the level of development of fine motor skills, a predisposition to mastering writing skills, the level of coordination of hand movements and spatial orientation. Reveals the general level of mental development, the level of development of thinking, the ability to listen, perform tasks according to the model, the arbitrariness of mental activity.

1. Draw an uncle (man)

Children are asked to draw a man in order to see the legs of a human figure, to evaluate how the child maintains proportions when drawing a person. It is important to pay attention to how the child draws details, a face, elements of clothing. While drawing, it is unacceptable to correct the child ("you forgot to draw the ears"), the adult is silently watching.

Assessment is carried out as follows on a five-point system:

1 point: a male figure is drawn (elements of men's clothing), there is a head, torso, limbs; the head is connected to the body by the neck, it should not be larger than the body; the head is smaller than the body; on the head - hair, a headdress, ears are possible; on the face - eyes, nose, mouth; hands have hands with five fingers; legs bent (there is a foot or a shoe); the figure is drawn in a synthetic way (the contour is integral, the legs and arms seem to grow from the body, and are not attached to it.

2 points: fulfillment of all requirements, except for the synthetic method of drawing, or if there is a synthetic method, but 3 details are not drawn: neck, hair, fingers; the face is fully drawn.

3 points: the figure has a head, torso, limbs (arms and legs are drawn in two lines); may be missing: neck, ears, hair, clothing, fingers, feet.

4 points: a primitive drawing with a head and body, arms and legs are not drawn, they can be in the form of one line.

5 points: lack of a clear image of the body, no limbs; scribble.

2. Copy the sample

Many parents think that this task is aimed at testing if the child can write in letters, but this is not the case. The test is aimed at identifying the ability to copy, maintain proportions, see the line, highlight individual words. A sample is given, it is necessary to write in exactly the same way. For example: I am sitting, she was given tea, I am sitting.

Grade

1 point: the sample is well and completely copied; letters may be slightly larger than the sample, but not 2 times; the first letter is capitalized; the phrase consists of three words, their location on the sheet horizontally (a slight deviation from the horizontal is possible).

2 points: the sample is copied legibly; the size of the letters and the horizontal position are not taken into account (the letter can be larger, the line can go up or down).

3 points: the inscription is divided into three parts, at least 4 letters can be understood.

4 points: at least 2 letters match the pattern, a string is visible.

5 points: illegible scribbles, strikes.

The test shows how ready the child is for learning to write, whether he sees a line or individual words.

3. Draw points from the sample

Accurate reproduction is necessary, one point may go out of place. (The dots can be in any order, they can fold into a pattern, they are often drawn in cells.)
In the sample, 10 points are evenly spaced vertically and horizontally.

Evaluation

1 point: exact copying of the sample, slight deviations from a line or column are allowed, a reduction in a pattern, an increase is unacceptable.

2 points: the number and location of points correspond to the sample, deviation of up to three points by half the distance between them is allowed; dots can be replaced with circles.

3 points: the drawing as a whole corresponds to the sample, in height or width does not exceed it by more than 2 times; the number of dots may not correspond to the sample, but they should not be more than 20 and less than 7; let’s even rotate the picture by 180 degrees.

4 points: the drawing consists of dots, but does not correspond to the pattern.

5 points: scribbles, stripes.

After the assessment of each task, all points are summed up. If the child scored in total for all three tasks:

3-6 points - he has a high level of readiness for school;
7-12 points - average level;
13-15 points - low level of readiness, the child needs additional examination of intelligence and mental development.

11. Why are there brakes in all cars?
Two reasons (to slow down from a mountain, to brake at a turn, to stop in case of danger of a collision, to stop altogether after the end of the ride) = 1 point. 1 reason = 0 points. Wrong answer (for example, he would not drive without brakes) = - 1 point.

12. How are a hammer and an ax similar to each other?
Two common features = 3 points (they are made of wood and iron, they have handles, these are tools, you can hammer nails with them, they are flat on the back). 1 similarity = 2 points. Wrong answer = 0 points.

20. Why do I need to stick a stamp on the envelope?
So they pay for the postage, the carriage of the letter = 5 points. The other one would have to pay a fine = 2 points. Wrong answer = 0 points.

After the survey, the results are calculated according to the number of points achieved on individual questions. The quantitative results of this assignment are divided into five groups:

1 group - plus 24 and more;
Group 2 - plus 14 to 23;
Group 3 - from 0 to 13;
Group 4 - from minus 1 to minus 10;
Group 5 - less than minus 11.

According to the classification, the first three groups are considered positive. Children who score from plus 24 to plus 13 are considered school-ready.

Overall assessment of test results

Children who have received from 3 to 6 points in the first three subtests are considered ready for schooling. The group of children who received 7-9 points represents the average level of development of school readiness. Children who received 9-11 points require additional research to obtain more reliable data. Particular attention should be paid to the group of children (usually individual children) who scored 12-15 points, which is below normal development. Such children need a careful individual study of intellectual development, the development of personal, motivational qualities.
There are many other tests and methods for determining school readiness. The school can also create their own package for interviewing or testing children.

The child's memory, attention, logical thinking, the level of his ideas about the world around him, fine motor skills, the level of speech development and the ability to read, the development of mathematical concepts are necessarily examined.

Kern test - Jieraseka was proposed by J. Jirasek as a modification of the existing method of A. Kern and received a unified name. In 1978, the Kern-Jirasek graphic test was first published in Russian, but it was not widely used until 6-10 years later. The exceptional simplicity of testing and maximum availability made it a favorite tool not only among psychologists, but also among teachers and even kindergarten teachers.

The test consists of three items. The first task is to draw a male figure from memory, the second is to sketch out written letters, and the third is to sketch a group of points. It can be used both in a group and individually.

All three tasks of this graphical test are aimed at determining the development of fine motor skills of the hand and the coordination of vision and hand movements. These skills are essential in school to master writing. In addition, the test allows you to determine in general terms the intellectual development of a child (drawing a male figure from memory).

The tasks "sketching written letters" and "sketching a group of points" reveal the child's ability to imitate a model. This skill is also essential in school teaching. Subtests also allow you to determine whether the child can concentrate, without distraction, work for some time on a task that is not very attractive to him.

Jerasek emphasizes that the test result can be considered as the basis for a conclusion about school maturity and cannot be interpreted as school immaturity (for example, there are cases when capable children sketch a person, which significantly affects the total score they receive).

The author of the test also notes the limitations of the methodology due to the non-use of non-verbal subtests, which make it possible to draw a conclusion about the development of logical thinking (the test of school maturity basically allows us to judge the development of sensorimotor skills).

Instructions... A child (group of children) is offered a test form. The first side of the form should contain information about the child and leave free space for drawing a male figure, on the back in the upper left part there is a sample of written letters, and in the lower part - a sample of a group of dots. The right side of this side of the paper is left free for the child to reproduce. The pencil is placed in front of the subject so that it is at the same distance from both hands (if the child turns out to be left-handed, the experimenter must make a corresponding entry in the protocol). The blank is placed in front of the child with the clean side.

Kern - Yirasek test

Task 1. Draw an uncle (man)

Instructions for task number 1... “Here (show each child) draw a man. As you can. " No further clarification, help or drawing attention to errors and deficiencies in the drawing is allowed. If the children still start asking how to draw, the experimenter should still limit himself to one phrase: "Draw the way you can." If the child does not start drawing, then you should approach him and encourage him, for example, say: "Draw, you will succeed." Sometimes the guys ask the question, is it possible to draw a woman instead of a man, in this case they must answer that everyone draws a man and they also need to draw a man. If the child has already begun to draw a woman, then he should be allowed to finish drawing her, and then ask him to draw a man next to him. It should be borne in mind that there are times when a child categorically refuses to draw a man. Such a refusal may be associated with the trouble in the child's family, when the father is either not in the family at all, or he is there, but some kind of threat comes from him. At the end of the drawing of the human figure, the children are told to turn the sheet of paper over to the other side.

Grade

1 point: a male figure is drawn (elements of men's clothing), there is a head, torso, limbs; the head is connected to the body by the neck, it should not be larger than the body; the head is smaller than the body; on the head - hair, a headdress, ears are possible; on the face - eyes, nose, mouth; hands have hands with five fingers; legs bent (there is a foot or a shoe); the figure is drawn in a synthetic way (the contour is integral, the legs and arms seem to grow from the body, and are not attached to it.

2 points: fulfillment of all requirements, except for the synthetic way of drawing, or if there is a synthetic way, but 3 details are not drawn: neck, hair, fingers; the face is fully drawn.

3 points: the figure has a head, torso, limbs (arms and legs are drawn with two lines); may be missing: neck, ears, hair, clothing, fingers, feet.

4 points: a primitive drawing with a head and a body, arms and legs are not drawn, they can be in the form of one line.

5 points: no clear image of the body, no limbs; scribble.

Task 2. Copy the sample

Instructions for task number 2... “Look, something is written here. You don't know how to write yet, but try it, maybe you will succeed in exactly the same way. Take a good look at how it is written, and here, next to it, in a free space, write the same. " It is suggested to copy the phrase ("I eat soup", "She was given tea", etc.) written in written letters. If any child unsuccessfully guesses the length of a phrase and one word does not fit in a line, you should pay attention to the fact that you can write this word higher or lower. It should be borne in mind that there are children who already know how to read a written text, and then, having read the phrase proposed to them, they write it in block letters. In this case, it is necessary to have a sample of foreign words, also written in written letters.

Many parents think that this task is aimed at testing whether the child can write in writing, but this is not the case. The test is aimed at identifying the ability to copy, maintain proportions, see the line, highlight individual words. A sample is given, it is necessary to write in exactly the same way. For example: She was given tea .

Grade

1 point: the sample is well and completely copied; letters may be slightly larger than the sample, but not 2 times; the first letter is capitalized; the phrase consists of three words, their location on the sheet horizontally (a slight deviation from the horizontal is possible).

2 points: the sample is copied legibly; the size of the letters and the horizontal position are not taken into account (the letter can be larger, the line can go up or down).

3 points: the inscription is divided into three parts, at least 4 letters can be understood.

4 points: at least 2 letters match the sample, a line is visible.

5 points: illegible scribbles, stripes.

Note... The test shows how ready the child is for learning to write, whether he sees a line or individual words.

Task 3. Draw points from the sample

Instructions for task number 3... “Look, there are dots drawn here. Try here, next to it, to draw in exactly the same way. " At the same time, it is necessary to show where the child should draw, since one should reckon with the possible weakening of concentration in some children. While the children are completing assignments, it is necessary to monitor them, while making brief notes about their actions. First of all, they pay attention to which hand the future student is drawing with - right or left, whether he transfers a pencil from one hand to another while drawing. They also note whether the child spins too much, drops the pencil and looks for it under the table, whether he began to draw, despite the instructions, in another place or even outlines the outline of the sample, whether he wants to make sure that he draws beautifully, etc.

In the sample, 10 points are at an even distance from each other vertically and horizontally:

Grade

1 point: exact copying of the sample, slight deviations from a line or column are allowed, a decrease in a drawing, an increase is unacceptable.

2 points: the number and location of points correspond to the sample, deviation of up to three points by half the distance between them is allowed; dots can be replaced with circles.

3 points: the drawing as a whole corresponds to the sample, does not exceed it by more than 2 times in height or width; the number of dots may not correspond to the sample, but they should not be more than 20 and less than 7; let’s even rotate the picture by 180 degrees.

4 points: the drawing consists of dots, but does not correspond to the sample.

5 points: scribbles, stripes.

Summarizing

After the assessment of each task, all points are summed up. If the child scored in total for all three tasks:

3-6 points- he has a high level of readiness for school;
7-12 points- average level;
13-15 points- low level of readiness, the child needs additional examination of intelligence and mental development.

School maturity orientation test questionnaire

The subtest is conducted individually. Each question is read only once. The experimenter needs to monitor his speech, it must be benevolent and clear in order to exclude the child's misunderstanding of the issue. You should not allow leading questions, correct if the child answers incorrectly, additionally encourage a more complete answer. Necessary exceptions to this requirement are specially stipulated in the key to the test.

According to the classification, the first three groups are considered positive. Children who score from plus 24 to plus 13 are considered school-ready.

KERN-JERASEC SCHOOL MATURE TEST,
CONSISTS OF 3 TASKS.

Determination of school maturity.

There are various methods for determining school maturity. To get to know the child, it is most convenient, in my opinion, to use the Kern-Jirasek orientation test of school maturity, since it has standards, requires little time for its conduct and is used to examine 6-7 year old children.
The test consists of three items. The first task is to draw a male figure from memory, the second is to sketch out written letters, and the third is to sketch a group of points. The result of each task is evaluated on a five-point system (1 is the highest score, 5 is the lowest score), and then the total is calculated for three tasks. The development of children who received a total of 3 to 6 points on three tasks is considered above average, from 7 to 11 as average, from 12 to 15 as below the norm. Children who have received 12-15 points should be examined in depth, as there may be mentally retarded children among them. But at the same time, it should be borne in mind that, without further examination, the specified group of children cannot be classified as underdeveloped, characterized by school immaturity, since a satisfactory result of the orientation test is a relatively reliable basis for concluding that school maturity with a prediction of good school performance, but an unsatisfactory result cannot serve as a sufficient basis for a conclusion about school immaturity with a forecast of poor school performance.

Kern-Iirasek test

can be used both in a group and individually.
All three tasks of this graphical test are aimed at determining the development of fine motor skills of the hand and the coordination of vision and hand movements. These skills are essential in school to master writing. In addition, the test allows you to determine in general terms the intellectual development of the child (drawing a male figure from memory)
The tasks "sketching written letters" and "sketching a group of points" reveal the child's ability to imitate a model. This skill is also essential in school teaching. Subtests also allow you to determine whether the child can concentrate, without distraction, work for some time on a task that is not very attractive to him.
First task –

drawing a male figure from memory ,

second –

sketching of written letters,

third –

drawing a group of points.

The result of each task is evaluated on a five-point system

(1 highest score; 5 lowest score), and then the total for the 3 tasks is calculated.

The development of children who received a total of 3 tasks:

- from 3 to 6 points are considered above average

- from 7 to 11 points as average

- from 12 to 15 points - below the norm.

Children who received 12 - 15 points,

it is necessary to examine in depth, since among them there may be mentally retarded.

All three tasks of the graphical test are aimed at determining the development of fine motor skills of the hand and coordination of vision and hand movements. These skills are essential in school to master writing. In addition, the test allows you to determine in general terms the intellectual development of the child. (drawing of a male figure from memory)... The task "sketching of written letters" and "sketching of a group of points"

Reveal the child's ability to imitate a model - a skill necessary in school education. These tasks also allow you to determine whether the child can concentrate, without distraction, work for some time on a task that is not very attractive to him.

J. Jierasek conducted a study to establish the relationship between the success of the school maturity test and success in further education. It turned out that children who do well on the test tend to do well in school, but children who do poorly on the test can do well in school. Therefore, Jerasek emphasizes that the test result can be considered as the basis for the conclusion about school maturity and cannot be interpreted as school immaturity. (for example, there are cases when capable children schematically draw a person, which is significantly reflected in the total score they receive)... The author of the test also notes the limitations of the methodology due to the non-use of non-verbal subtests, which make it possible to draw a conclusion about the development of logical thinking. (the test of school maturity mainly allows you to judge the development of sensorimotor skills).

The Kern-Jieraseka test can be used both in a group and individually.

Instructions for using the test:

To kid (to a group of children) offer a test form. The first side of the form should contain information about the child and leave free space for drawing a male figure, on the back in the upper left part there is a sample of written letters, and in the lower part - a sample of a group of dots. The right side of this side of the paper is left free for the child to reproduce. A sheet of typewritten paper can serve as a blank, oriented so that its lower part is longer than the side. The pencil is placed in front of the subject so that it is at the same distance from both hands. (if the child turns out to be left-handed, the experimenter must make an appropriate entry in the protocol)... The blank is placed in front of the child with the clean side.

Instructions for task number 1:

"Here (show each child) draw some man. As you can. " No further clarification, help or drawing attention to errors and deficiencies in the drawing is allowed. If the children still start asking how to draw, the experimenter should still limit himself to one phrase: "Draw the way you can." If the child does not start drawing, then you should approach him and encourage him, for example, say: "Draw, you will succeed." Sometimes the guys ask the question, is it possible to draw a woman instead of a man, in this case they must answer that everyone draws a man and they also need to draw a man. If the child has already begun to draw a woman, then he should be allowed to finish drawing her, and then ask him to draw a man next to him. It should be borne in mind that there are times when a child categorically refuses to draw a man. Experience shows that such a refusal can be associated with a problem in the child's family, when the father is either not in the family at all, or he is there, but some kind of threat comes from him. At the end of the drawing of the human figure, the children are told to turn the sheet of paper over to the other side.

Instructions for task number 2:

“Look, something is written here. You don't know how to write yet, but try it, maybe you will succeed in exactly the same way. Take a good look at how it is written, and here, next to it, in a free space, write the same. " It is suggested to copy the phrase:

"I am eating soup",

written in letters. If any child unsuccessfully guesses the length of a phrase and one word does not fit in a line, you should pay attention to the fact that you can write this word higher or lower. It should be borne in mind that there are children who already know how to read a written text, and then, having read the phrase proposed to them, they write it in block letters. In this case, it is necessary to have a sample of foreign words, also written in written letters.

Instructions for task number 3:

"Look, dots are drawn here

* * *

Try here, next to it, to draw in exactly the same way. "

At the same time, it is necessary to show where the child should draw, since one should reckon with the possible weakening of concentration in some children. While the children are completing assignments, it is necessary to monitor them, while making brief notes about their actions. First of all, they pay attention to which hand the future student is drawing with - right or left, whether he transfers a pencil from one hand to another while drawing. They also note whether the child spins too much, drops the pencil and looks for it under the table, whether he started drawing, despite the instructions, in another place or even outlines the outline of the sample, whether he wants to make sure that he draws beautifully, etc.

EVALUATION OF TEST RESULTS:

Task number 1 - drawing a male figure.

1 point exhibited when the following conditions are met: the drawn figure must have a head, torso, limbs. The head with the torso is connected to the neck and should not be larger than the torso. There is hair on the head (perhaps they are covered with a hat or cap) and ears, on the face - eyes, nose, mouth, hands end with a five-fingered hand. The legs are bent below. The figure has men's clothing and is drawn in the so-called synthetic way. (outline), consisting in the fact that the whole figure (head, neck, torso, arms, legs) are drawn at once as a whole, and not composed of separate finished parts. With this method of drawing, the entire figure can be outlined in one outline, without lifting the pencil from the paper. The figure shows that the arms and legs, as it were, “grow” from the body, and are not attached to it. In contrast to the synthetic, a more primitive analytical method of drawing involves the image separately of each of the constituent parts of the figure. So, for example, the torso is drawn first, and then the arms and legs are attached to it.

2 points. Fulfillment of all requirements per unit, except for the synthetic drawing method. Three missing pieces (neck, hair, one finger of the hand, but not part of the face) can be ignored if the figure is drawn in a synthetic way.

3 points. The figure should have a head, torso, limbs. Hands and feet are drawn with two lines (voluminous)... No neck, hair, ears, clothing, fingers or feet are allowed.

4 points. A primitive drawing of a head with a torso. Limbs (one pair is enough) drawn with one line each.

5 points. There is no clear image of the body ("Cephalopod" or predominance of "cephalopods") or both pairs of limbs. Scribble.

Task number 2 - copying words written in written letters.

1 point. The written sample was copied well and completely legibly.

The letters are no more than twice the size of the sample letters. The first letter is clearly the uppercase letter in height. The letters are clearly linked in three words. The copied phrase deviates from the horizontal line by no more than 30 degrees.

2 points. The sample is still legibly copied. The size of the letters and the observance of the horizontal line are not taken into account.

3 points. Explicit breakdown of the inscription into at least two parts. At least four letters of the pattern can be understood.

4 points. At least two letters match the pattern. The rendered sample still creates the label line.

5 points. Scribble.

Task number 3 - drawing a group of points.

1 point. Almost perfect copying of the sample. A slight deviation of one point from a line or column is allowed. Reduction of the sample is acceptable, and the increase should not be more than twofold. The drawing should be parallel to the sample.

2 points. The number and location of the points must match the sample. You can ignore the deviation of no more than three points for half the width of the gap between the row and the column.

3 points. The figure as a whole corresponds to the sample, not exceeding it in width and height by more than twice. The number of points may not correspond to the sample, but there should not be more than 20 or less than 7. Any rotation is allowed, even by 180 degrees.

4 points. The outline of the picture does not match the pattern, but still consists of dots. Sample sizes and number of points are not taken into account. Other forms (like lines) not allowed.

5 points. Scribble.

WORKING WITH A VERBAL SUBTEST The fourth page is intended for working with the verbal subtest in the answer sheet. The experimenter must fully record the child's response to each subtest question.

Instructions for the verbal subtest:

1 group - plus 24 and more

2nd group - plus 14 to 23

Group 3 - from 0 to 13

4 group - from -1 to -10

5 group - less than -11

By classification positive are considered first three groups .

Children who score from plus 24 to plus 13 are considered school-ready.

Overall assessment of test results.

Children who have received the first three subtests are considered ready for schooling. from 3 to 6 points.

7-9 points- children represent the average level of development of readiness for schooling.

9-11 points- children require additional research to obtain more objective data.

12-15 points- special attention should be paid to this group of children (usually these are individual guys) as this constitutes the development below the burrow. Such children need a thorough individual examination of intelligence, the development of personal, motivational qualities.

Thus, we can say that the Kern-Jierasek methodology provides a preliminary orientation in the level of development of readiness for schooling.

CHILD SELF-ASSESSMENT DIAGNOSTICS

RESEARCH OF A CHILD'S SELF-ASSESSMENT USING THE "LESENKA" METHOD.

The child is shown a drawn ladder and the task is explained.
Instruction: "If all the children are seated on this ladder, then good children will be on the top three steps: smart, kind, strong, obedient - the higher the better (show:" good "," very good "," the very good ") ... And on the bottom three steps there will be bad children - the lower, the worse ("bad", "very bad", "the worst"). On the middle rung, children are neither bad nor good. Show what step you will put yourself on. Explain why?" After the child's answer, he is asked: “Are you really that way or would you like to be? Mark who you really are and how you would like to be. " "Show me what step mom would put you on." A standard set of characteristics is used: "good - bad", "good - evil", "smart - stupid", "strong - weak", "brave - cowardly", "the most diligent - the most careless". The number of characteristics can be reduced. During the examination, it is necessary to take into account how the child performs the task: he experiences hesitation, reflects, argues his choice. If the child does not give any explanation, he should be asked clarifying questions: “Why did you put yourself here? You always like this?" etc.

Study of cognitive processes (memory, attention, thinking, imagination, perception)

To diagnose the imagination, the “Find out who it is” technique was used. Before applying this technique, the child is explained that he will be shown parts, fragments of a drawing, by which it will be necessary to determine the whole to which these parts belong, i.e. restore the whole drawing by part or fragment.
Psychodiagnostic examination using this technique is carried out as follows. The child is shown a drawing in which all the fragments are covered with a sheet of paper, except for the fragment "a". The child is asked to use this fragment to say to which general drawing the depicted detail belongs. It takes 10 seconds to solve this problem. If during this time the child was unable to correctly answer the question posed, then for the same time - 10 seconds - he is shown the next, slightly more complete drawing "b", and so on until the child finally guesses that shown in this figure.
The time taken by the child in general to solve the problem and the number of fragments of the drawing that he had to look through before making the final decision are taken into account.

To diagnose perception, the technique "What is missing in these pictures?"

The essence of this technique is that the child is offered a series of drawings. Each of the pictures in this series is missing some essential detail. The child receives the task to identify and name the missing part as soon as possible. The person conducting psychodiagnostics with the help of a stopwatch records the time spent by the child to complete the entire task. The working time is evaluated in points, which then serve as the basis for a conclusion about the level of development of the child's perception. The “10 words” technique was used to diagnose auditory mechanical memory. After reading the words, it is necessary to name those that are remembered. To diagnose visual memory and attention - unfolding color pictures.

Methodology "What is superfluous here?" It is designed to investigate the processes of figurative-logical thinking, mental operations of analysis and generalization in a child. In the methodology, children are offered a series of pictures showing different objects, accompanied by the following instructions: “In each of these pictures, one of the four objects depicted on it is superfluous. It is necessary to carefully look at the pictures and determine which object and why is superfluous. " It takes 3 minutes to solve the problem.
"Talking about school" (attitude to school, position of the child)
Diagnostics of adaptation to the first class
PROSPECTIVE METHODOLOGY "SCHOOL OF ANIMALS"
For many children, adapting to school is challenging. The child is faced with a number of problems that he cannot solve on his own. As a result, he may develop school neuroses. Early diagnosis, correction and prevention of school neuroses remain an urgent and extremely important problem.
When diagnosing this phenomenon, the psychologist first of all encounters various forms of inadequate psychological defense. Since psychological defense is formed at an unconscious level, the study of its mechanisms can be carried out using projective techniques. One of them is the "School of Animals". It makes it possible to identify school neuroses at the initial stage of development, to find out the causes and methods of correction. The uncertainty of the stimulus material, the atmosphere of benevolence and the absence of value judgments allow the child to reveal himself most deeply. In addition, drawing for younger students is familiar and interesting. Analysis of the depicted makes it possible to make some assumptions about the difficulties that arose in children in the process of educational activity.
It can be carried out both in a group and in an individual form.
Equipment... Colored pencils on paper.
All diagnostics performed are recorded in the diagnostic examination protocol and the diagnostic log.
After carrying out diagnostic work with first graders, a map is drawn up for each student. Which reflects all the data about the child and his level of development. In October, I take part in a meeting for parents of first-graders "Psychological characteristics of the adaptation period: from preschooler to schoolchild". I also introduce you to the general diagnostic results. Then I form students into groups for individual or group lessons.

Short story

This test was proposed by J. Jirasek as a modification of the existing method of A. Kern and received a unified name. In 1978, the Kern-Jirasek graphic test was first published in Russian, but it was not widely used until 6-10 years later. The exceptional simplicity of testing and maximum availability made it a favorite tool not only among psychologists, but also among teachers and even kindergarten teachers.

Unfortunately, some would-be specialists very freely interpreted the results of the survey, hanging the children who did not score the required number of points, labels “unsuccessful”, “lagging behind”, and even used stronger expressions that put an end to the child who was “unlucky” to perform well test. Meanwhile, J. Jirasek warned against such an interpretation, he provided the technique with very clear instructions and gave precise explanations for the interpretation.

What will the Kern-Jirasek test tell about and for whom is it intended?

This technique is relevant for 5-7-year-old children, its purpose is to test their readiness for schooling. This includes an assessment of the child's personal maturity (task 1), his fine motor skills of hands and visual coordination (task 2), and the test also reveals the visual-spatial perception of the future first-grader, visual memory (task 3) and thinking (based on the overall assessment of the entire test) ...

The test can be used both individually and in a group.

Methodology

The child is given an A4 sheet folded in half and a simple pencil. The sheet should lie like a notebook. On the unfolded side (on the left half of the sheet) at the top, write in advance a short sentence in written (NOT printed!) Letters: "He ate soup."

At the bottom, you draw a group of points as shown in my sample letterhead. I have a fold line marked in the middle for greater clarity (of course, you don't need to draw it). The right half of the sheet is for a child who will perform a sketching task.

He should sit in the way that is comfortable for him, so that the table and chair are in line with his height.

When everything is ready, sit the child down, put a folded sheet of paper in front of him, give the first task and wait for him to complete them. Then ask him to unfold the sheet for the second task, and so on.

1. Draw a man. Since you can (we do not say anything else and we repeat the instructions for all the child's remarks without our own explanation). If he asks if you can draw a woman, say: "You need to draw a man." If the child has already started drawing a woman, wait until he finishes and repeat the request to draw a man. It happens that a child refuses to draw exactly a man (further I will explain why this can be). Then we do the next task.
2. The child turns the sheet over and sees a sentence at the top left side. You say, “Look, something is written here. You don't know how to write yet, but try it, maybe you will succeed in exactly the same way. Look carefully and write the same in a free space next to it. " That is, we invite him to copy the phrase. If your child already knows how to read written text, write any phrase in another, unknown to him, language, for example, in English: “He eats soup”.
3. Then it goes to the point group. You say, “Look, there are dots drawn here. Try here, next to it, to draw in exactly the same way. " You can point with your finger where he will draw them.

So, we have completed the test. Let's see how to calculate the results.

Each task is evaluated on a five-point scale (1 point is the highest, 5 is the lowest), then the points are summed up and compared with the standard.

The sum of points 3-6 is regarded as a high indicator of development. 7-11 is an average indicator.

12-15 - below normal. If such results were obtained, additional examination is required, since there may be mentally retarded children in this category.
We count points

For the first assignment

* 1 point - the figure of a man has a head, neck, torso, limbs. The head should not be larger than the body. There is hair on the head (or they are covered with a hat or cap), ears; on the face - eyes, nose, mouth. The arms end with a five-fingered hand. Legs, as it were, “grow out of the body”, and are not attached to it and are bent below. The figure is dressed in men's clothing. The whole figure is drawn in a synthetic, in other words, contour method, that is, as a whole, and is not composed of separate finished parts, and it can be outlined without lifting the pencil from the paper.
* 2 points - all requirements inherent in 1 point, except for the synthetic method (the figure is drawn analytically - from separate parts). Three missing details (neck, hair, one finger of the hand, but not part of the face) can be ignored if the drawing method is synthetic.
* 3 points - the figure has a head, torso, limbs. The arms and legs are drawn in two lines, the absence of neck, hair, ears, clothing, fingers and feet is allowed.
* 4 points - a primitive drawing with a head and body. The limbs are drawn with a single line. There can be one pair of them.
* 5 points - there is no clear image of the “cephalopod” type body and both pairs of limbs.

For the second assignment:

* 1 point - the written sample was copied well and completely legibly. The letters exceed the size of the sample letters by no more than 2 times. The first letter is clearly the uppercase letter in height. The letters are clearly linked in three words. The copied phrase deviates from horizontal by no more than 30 degrees.
* 2 points - the sample is copied sufficiently legibly. The size of the letters and the observance of the horizontal line are not taken into account.
* 3 points - a clear division of the inscription into at least two parts. At least four letters of the pattern can be understood.
* 4 points - at least two letters match the sample. The played sample still creates a record string.
* 5 points - scribbles.

For the third task:

* 1 point - almost perfect copying of a group of points. A slight deviation of one point from a line or column is allowed. The reduction of the sample is allowed, and the increase is no more than 2 times. The drawing should be parallel to the sample.
* 2 points - the number and location of dots corresponds to the sample, you can ignore the deviation of no more than three dots for half the width of the gap between the line and the column.
* 3 points - the drawing as a whole is similar to the sample, not exceeding more than twice in width and height. The number of points may not correspond to the sample, but there should not be more than 20 or less than 7. Any rotation is allowed, even by 180 degrees.
* 4 points - the outline of the picture does not correspond to the sample, but still consists of dots. Sample sizes and number of points are not included. Other shapes (for example, lines) are not allowed.
* 5 points - scribbles.

Overall assessment of test results

There are many other tests and methods for determining school readiness. The school can also create their own package for interviewing or testing children.
