Vstop v šolo – stališča in izkušnje otrok, učiteljev in vzgojiteljev

Cerkovnik, Ana (author), Batistič Zorec, Marcela (mentor)

Prehod iz vrtca v šolo je za otroke pomembna življenjska prelomnica. Posloviti se morajo od poznanega vrtca, vzgojiteljev in nekaterih prijateljev, ter vstopiti v neznano. Otroci prehod doživljajo različno, večkrat z velikim pričakovanjem, nekatere pa ob tem spremlja strah. Pomembno vlogo prevzemajo pedagoški delavci in starši, ki so del otrokovega življenja. S kurikularno prenovo, so se v osnovnih šolah zgodile številne spremembe. Otroci v devetletno šolo vstopajo eno leto mlajši, mala šola pa se je premaknila v prvi razred. Pri tem so se pojavila številna vprašanja in dileme, če in kako bodo ideje devetletne osnovne šole implementirane v praksi. Skozi diplomsko nalogo sem raziskovala, kako otroci doživljajo bližajoč se vstop v šolo, kakšna so njihova čustva, pričakovanja in strahovi. Prav tako so me zanimale izkušnje in stališča prvošolcev, kako šolo doživljajo sedaj in ali jo radi obiskujejo. V raziskavi sem sodelovala tudi z vzgojiteljicami iz vrtca ter vzgojiteljicami in učiteljicami, ki delajo v prvem razredu. Zanimala so me njihova stališča in izkušnje pri delu, njihov pogled na devetletno osnovno šolo, pripravljenost otrok na šolo, delo učiteljev in vzgojiteljev v tandemu ter sodelovanje s starši. V diplomsko nalogo sem vključila tudi finski izobraževalni sistem, ki velja za enega najboljših izobraževalnih sistemov na svetu. To, da je zares nekaj posebnega, sem se prepričala tudi sama v času študijske izmenjave v Helsinkih. Otroško veselje do učenja in šole, radovednost in motiviranost, me je v finski šoli navdušilo. Kot bodoči pedagog mi to predstavlja izziv, saj so nekatere raziskave TIMSS in HBSC pokazale nizka stališča slovenskih šolarjev do učenja in znanja (Mlekuž, 2016). Skozi diplomo sem poskušala ugotoviti, v čem se finska šola tako razlikuje od slovenke, da jo radi obiskujejo.

• Title: Starting school – viewpoints and experience of children, primary teachers and preschool teacher

Abstract

The transition from preschool to elementary school is an important turning point for children. They must say goodbye to known preschool, preschool teachers and some friends, and enter the unknown. Children are experiencing the transition differently, often with high expectations, and some are accompanied by fear. Pedagogical workers and parents who are part of the child's life take on an important role. With curricular reform, many changes have occurred in elementary schools. The children enter the nine-year school one year younger as before, and the pre-primary school has moved to the first grade. A number of issues and dilemmas have arisen in this regard, if and how the ideas of the nine-year elementary school will be implemented in practice. Through the diploma thesis, I investigated how children are experiencing the approaching entry into school, what their emotions, expectations and fears are. I was also interested in the experiences and attitudes of first-class students about how they are experiencing school now and whether they like it or not. In the research, I also worked with preschool teachers and teachers working in the first grade. I was interested in their views and experiences at work, their view of the nine-year elementary school, the readiness of children to school, the teamwork of first-grade teachers and cooperation with parents. In the diploma thesis, I also included the Finnish education system, which is known as one of the best education systems in the world. The fact that it is indeed something special, I was convinced myself during the study exchange in Helsinki. The child's joy to learn and attend school, curiosity and motivation has inspired me in the Finnish school. As a future pedagogue this presents me with a challenge, since some TIMSS and HBSC studies have shown low attitudes of Slovene schoolchildren to learning and knowledge (Mlekuž, 2016). Through the diploma, I tried to find out what the Finnish schools are so different from the Slovenian ones that children like to visit it.
