【 摘 要 】

The article presents issues related to the development of children’s inquisitiveness in a philosophical context. Its essence and purpose is to emphasise the great importance of philosophy as a science that develops wisdom of thinking, independent and critical thinking, cognitive curiosity, introduces to dialogue, discussion and multidirectional communication, which opens the way to multi-intelligent cognition of the world. The period of early childhood education is presented as an open teaching-learning process, in which the teacher creates situations and opportunities to pose varied and variable questions, reasoning, logical thinking, problem-solving, exploratory and searching independence, active action. Student acquires a variety of skills, changes the attitude under the influence of experience, performs tasks, derives reflection from them, critically summarising what has happened, draws conclusions from the analysis, implementing the results of actions, changing the specific understanding of the world and behaviour. Crucial are deliberate and insightful observations, and educational experiments, emphasising creative learning, exercises, tasks, images, multi-faceted activities, and the creation of especially difficult questions by students and the search for answers.
