Summary:This paper emphasizes the importance of educational activities for small children and discusses the issues and problems associated with choice of educational objectives and activity content. Three factors which influence the formation of educational objectives are identified: (1) tradition, (2) specific character of socio-economic conditions in which the young generation is going to function, and (3) understanding of the human being in terms of who he is and who he can become. Specific features of desirable educational objectives are identified: (1) social and cultural needs taken into consideration as well as biological needs, (2) systematic broadening of the scope of educational content, (3) positive orientation of educational content, (4) clarity of educational content, and (5) concern for creativity. It was suggested that educational objectives should serve to stimulate children's play, learning, and work. (JMB)
