Abstract:

This report analyzes the methodological guidelines for planning a pedagogical situation in the field of Environmental Studies in preschool education, in accordance with the State Educational Standard (MoE, 2016) and the principles of the competency-based approach. It emphasizes the teacher’s role as a facilitator of the learning process, promoting active, play-based, and emotionally engaging learning experiences. Through the example “Bee Family,” the study demonstrates how observation, play, and experimentation foster ecological awareness, social responsibility, and metacognitive skills among children. The reflective psychological approach is highlighted as a contemporary paradigm that integrates cognitive, emotional, social, and ethical dimensions into a holistic educational experience. The pedagogical plan is presented as a creative tool reflecting the teacher’s professional competence, reflective practice, and cultural sensitivity
