<p style="text-align: justify;">The purpose of the study was to determine whether emphasising the managerial domain of the preservice preschool teachers’ curriculum is capable to improve their management and leadership skills. This study used the mixed-method methodology that combined the exploratory design and the experimental design. It included three basic phases such as feasibility assessment of making changes to the curriculum, intervention, and controlled observation, followed by the analytical phase. It was proved that the university curriculum upgraded the training approach by using the guided interim directorship. This change addressed the Professional Standard requirements for the preschool heads as well as job requirements. The intervention produced a positive shift in students’ skills of micromanagement, long-term planning, communicating vision, emotional control, and mentoring. There was a shift from the basic level of management skills before the intervention to the intermediate level of the skills after the intervention. The number of students with a superior level of skills increased by 11.54% as well. The students’ comments concerning the integration of the managerial component into the curriculum were complimentary. The observers’ reports suggested that they appreciated the students' work which was the outcome of the updated curriculum.</p>
The aim of the article is to conduct a comparative analysis of the socialization practices of preschoolers with general speech underdevelopment in Ukrainian and Swedish preschool educational institutions. The research methodology involved the gradual application of a set of interrelated methods, such as theoretical analysis, systematization, and generalization of data from general and specialized psychological-pedagogical and methodological literature on the researched problem. The findings suggest that there are differences in socialization practices between the two countries: Ukrainian preschool educational institutions focus more on discipline and obedience, while Swedish institutions prioritize play and collaboration. The study concludes that socialization practices in preschool educational institutions play a significant role in supporting the development of social skills among preschoolers with general speech underdevelopment.
