ABSTRACT.
This article is discussing about the design and
implementation of an experimental study on fairy tale therapy.
Methods and
techniques of fairytale therapy fairytale therapy includes a variety of methods and
techniques used to achieve therapeutic goals. Here are some key approaches.
Telling and discussing fairytales. This is the primary technique where the therapist
tells or reads a fairytale and then discusses it with the client. The discussion may
involve the emotions evoked by the story, its symbols and characters, and how the
client’s own life situations relate to the fairytale’s plot.
Key words:
Fairy tale therapy, design, implementation, experimental,
methods, therapeutic, approaches, techniques, symbols.
INTRODUCTION.
The problems of mental development delay are receiving more and more
attention in the fields of correctional psychology, inclusive education, and social
pedagogy in the present era. It is caused, first and foremost, by the negative
dynamics of the growing number of preschoolers with varying degrees of mental
development delay, the lack of precise criteria for the early diagnosis of this
pathology, and the intricate and multifaceted nature of preschoolers' mental
development delay. Thus, it is clear that toddlers with mental development delays
require early diagnosis and more efficient correctional action. A new field in
special psychology has evolved in the current stage of preschool education
development: game-playing techniques. This field views fairy tale therapy as a top

strategy for correcting speech impairments in preschoolers with mental
development delays. When used in correctional work, fairy tale therapy can help
kids with mental development delays develop their speech and personalities. Most
children with mental development delays are able to gradually stop utilizing
primarily non-verbal means of communication and begin using speech thanks to
the use of fairy tale treatment in correctional sessions. For this particular group of
preschoolers, it is also a potential strategy for gradually increasing active
vocabulary.
MAIN BODY.
Recent studies show that an overwhelming majority of preschoolers with
mental development delay have different speech impairments that are quite
heterogeneous and vary in complexity and structure. Using fairy tale therapy in the
correctional work can facilitate both the development of personality and speech in
preschoolers with mental development delay. Owing to the application of the fairy
tale therapy method in the correctional classes, most of preschoolers diagnosed
with mental development delay progressively abandon the most non-verbal forms
of communication and start using speech. It is also a possible method for the
progressive increase of active vocabulary for this category of preschoolers. This
study aims at determining efficient conditions of fairy tale therapy for the speech
impairment correction in preschoolers with mental development delay. The
development stage results in a significant improvement of the speech development
level in senior preschoolers with mental development delay in the experimental
group in comparison with both primary diagnostics and the speech development
level of the control group preschoolers. The study conducted enables us to make
the conclusion that the correction of speech impairments in senior preschoolers
with mental development delay could become more efficient. It can be achieved by
using early diagnostics of the specific characteristics of speech development
problems in preschoolers with mental development delay, and by using the
advantages of the fairy tale therapy method in speech correction in senior
preschoolers with mental development delay.

What is the Experimental Scientific Method?
The steps listed below will help you systematically investigate observations
that can be tested with the experimental method. Not all questions can be dealt with
by the experimental scientific method. You must choose a question or problem that
can be formulated in terms of hypothesis that can be tested. Tests done to check
hypothesis are called experiments. To design a suitable experiment, you must make
an educated guess about the things that affect the system you want to investigate.
These are called variables. This requires thought, information gathering, and a
study of the available facts relating to your problem. As you do experiments, you
will record data that measures the effect of variables. Using this data, you can
calculate results. Results are presented in the form of tables or graphs. These results
will show you trends related to how the variables affect the system you are working
with. Based on these trends, you can draw conclusions about the hypothesis you
originally made.
Steps in doing an experimental science project.
The steps in the experimental scientific method as usually presented are:
Observation, Hypothesis, Controlled Experiment, Conclusion. To actually do a
science experiment, many more steps are needed. The following more accurately
reflects the course of an actual experimental investigation.
Initial Observation
You notice something, and wonder why it happens. You see something and
wonder what causes it. You want to know how or why something works. You ask
questions about what you have observed. You want to investigate. The first step is
to clearly write down exactly what you have observed.
Information Gathering
Find out about what you want to investigate. Read books, magazines or ask
professionals who might know in order to learn about the effect or area of study.
Keep track of where you got your information from.
Title the Project
Choose a title that describes the effect or thing you are investigating. The

title should be short and summarize what the investigation will deal with.
State the Purpose of the Project
What do you want to find out? Write a statement that describes what you
want to do. Use your observations and questions to write the statement.
Identify Variables
Based on your gathered information, make an educated guess about what
types of things affect the system you are working with. Identifying variables is
necessary before you can make a hypothesis.
Experiments are an excellent data collection strategy for social
workers wishing to observe the effects of a clinical intervention or social welfare
program. Understanding what experiments are and how they are conducted is
useful for all social scientists, whether they actually plan to use this methodology
or simply aim to understand findings from experimental studies. An experiment is
a method of data collection designed to test hypotheses under controlled conditions.
Students in my research methods classes often use the term experiment to describe
all kinds of research projects, but in social scientific research, the term has a unique
meaning and should not be used to describe all research methodologies.
Experiments have a long and important history in social science. Behaviorists such
as John Watson, B. F. Skinner, Ivan Pavlov, and Albert Bandura used experimental
design to demonstrate the various types of conditioning. Using strictly controlled
environments, behaviorists were able to isolate a single stimulus as the cause of
measurable differences in behavior or physiological responses. The foundations of
social learning theory and behavior modification are found in experimental
research projects. Moreover, behaviorist experiments brought psychology and
social science away from the abstract world of Freudian analysis and towards
empirical inquiry, grounded in real-world observations and objectively-defined
variables. Experiments are used at all levels of social work inquiry, including
agency-based experiments that test therapeutic interventions and policy
experiments that test new programs.

CONCLUSION.
In conclusion, the design and implementation of experimental studies on
fairy tale therapy underscore its growing significance in supporting the speech and
psychological development of preschoolers with mental developmental delays. As
a powerful tool within correctional pedagogy and inclusive education, fairy tale
therapy not only facilitates language acquisition but also nurtures emotional
resilience, self-awareness, and social inclusion. By employing techniques such as
storytelling, discussion, creative writing, and role-play, therapists and educators
can effectively engage children in meaningful, therapeutic interactions. These
methods offer a structured yet imaginative way to address developmental
challenges, making fairy tale therapy a valuable and accessible approach in both
educational and psychological context.
