Abstract

The extent to which a child’s functional systems are prepared at the beginning of schooling significantly determines the child’s attitude toward learning and the outcomes of the educational process. Proper assessment of school readiness — taking into account the factors of acceleration and retardation, as well as other characteristics of a child’s development — reduces the influence of artificial factors on development. The correct organization of the learning environment enhances genetically determined cognitive potential and is an important prerequisite for successful education.

Accurate evaluation of a child’s school readiness is a key condition for effective learning. In general, the level of physical, cognitive, and psychological preparedness with which a child begins school greatly influences their attitude toward learning. When determining the minimum school age, it is important to consider the phenomena of acceleration and retardation.

Acceleration is a characteristic feature of child and adolescent development. It is a complex phenomenon influenced by many factors. In recent years, the minimum school starting age in our country has changed several times. This figure varies to some extent across different countries’ education systems and is determined by multiple factors.
