Razlike v pogostosti stikov predšolskih otrok z živalmi med mestnimi in vaškimi vrtci v Sloveniji

Malovrh, Špela (avtor), Torkar, Gregor (mentor)

Namen diplomskega dela je bil ugotoviti, ali med mestnimi in vaškimi vrtci v Sloveniji prihaja do razlik v pogostosti stikov predšolskih otrok z živalmi. V teoretičnem delu sem predstavila vlogo živali v otrokovem življenju, tako pozitivne učinke, ki jih prinaša sobivanje z živaljo, kot negativne. Pisala sem tudi o vse bolj pomembni nalogi vrtca, ki pri predšolskih otrocih spodbuja stik z naravo in živalmi in o posledicah, ki nastanejo, če je tega stika z naravo premalo. Izpostavila sem glavne cilje in napotke za dejavnosti s področja narave iz Kurikuluma za vrtce. Na koncu sem pisala tudi o pomembnosti vključevanja živali v igralnice vrtca in navedla nekaj napotkov, ki jih mora vzgojitelj upoštevati ob vključevanju živali v igralnico. V empiričnem delu sem izvedla kvantitativno raziskavo s pomočjo spletnega anketnega vprašalnika. Vzorec je zajemal 308 pedagoških delavcev iz slovenskih javnih in zasebnih vrtcev, ki so se za anonimno reševanje vprašalnika odločili prostovoljno. Uporabila sem kavzalno-neeksperimentalno metodo zbiranja podatkov. Rezultate sem interpretirala na deskriptivni in inferenčni ravni, z besedami in grafi ter tabelami. Z analizo rezultatov sem ugotovila, da se med vaškimi in mestnimi vrtci v Sloveniji pojavljajo statistično pomembne razlike v pogostosti stikov z živalmi in v izbiri dejavnosti, ki vključujejo živali. Pojavljajo se tudi statistično pomembna odstopanja pogostosti stikov z različnimi živalmi za posamezna časovna obdobja. Ugotovila sem, da imajo mestni vrtci pogosteje svoje lastne živali kot vaški vrtci.

• Naslov: Differences in the frequency of preschool childrens' contact with animals between urban and village kindergartens in Slovenia

Izvleček

The aim of the dissertation project was to determine whether there are differences in the frequency of preschool children’ contact with animals between urban and village kindergartens in Slovenia. In the theoretical part of this paper, I presented the role of animals in a child's life, both the positive effects of coexistence with an animal and the negative ones. I also wrote about the increasingly important task of kindergarten, which encourages contact with nature and animals in preschool children, and about the consequences that arise if this contact with nature is insufficient. I highlighted the main goals and guidelines for nature activities from the Kindergarten Curriculum. At the end, I also wrote about the importance of including animals in kindergarten playrooms and gave some instructions, which the educator must follow when including animals in the playroom. In the empirical part, I conducted a quantitative research using an online survey questionnaire. The sample included 308 pedagogical workers from Slovenian public and private kindergartens, who decided to solve the questionnaire anonymously voluntarily. I used a causal-non-experimental method of data collection. I interpreted the results on a descriptive and inferential level, with words and graphs and tables. By analyzing the results, I found that between village and urban kindergartens in Slovenia, there are statistically significant differences in the frequency of contact with animals and in the choice of activities involving animals. There are also statistically significant deviations in the frequency of contact with different animals for individual time periods. I have found that urban kindergartens are more likely to have their own animals than village kindergartens.
