Razvoj lesenega otroškega pripomočka za spodbujanje motoričnih spretnosti po pedagogiki Montessori

Kotnik, Klemen (author), Fajdiga, Gorazd (mentor)

Montessori pedagogika je inovativen pristop k vzgoji, ki spodbuja otrokovo samostojnost, odgovornost in razvoj z uporabo posebnih lesenih pripomočkov. Ti niso le igrače, temveč orodja, ki podpirajo otrokovo učenje ter razvoj finih in grobih motoričnih spretnosti. Metodo odlikuje osredotočenost na otroka, ki lahko raziskuje in napreduje v svojem ritmu. Razvoj otroškega pripomočka za grobe motorične spretnosti je zahteven proces, ki vključuje več sistematičnih faz. V magistrski nalogi je predstavljena celotna razvojna faza lesenega pripomočka od idejne zasnove do testiranja prototipa. Tridimenzionalni model lesenega pripomočka je bil skreiran v programu Solidworks. V programu Solidworks Simulation je bila izvedena napetostno -deformacijska analiza stopnice z zapahom. Identificirani so bili kritični deli, prav tako pa je bila izvedena optimizacija geometrije. Sledila je izdelava prototipa celotnega lesenega pripomočka. Prototip je bil pod določenimi robnimi pogoji testiran na trgalnem stroju Zwick Roell 100. Izmerjeni so bili pomiki stopnice v odvisnosti od pritisne sile. Rezultati so bili ovrednoteni in primerjani s pomiki, dobljenimi z numeričnimi simulacijami.

• Title: The development of a wooden children's tool to promote motor skills according to Montessori pedagogy

Abstract

The Montessori pedagogy is an innovative approach to education that fosters children's independence, responsibility, and development through the use of specially designed wooden tools. These are not merely toys, but tools that support children's learning and the development of fine and gross motor skills. The method is distinguished by its child-centred focus, allowing children to explore and progress at their own pace. The development of a tool for enhancing gross motor skills is a complex process involving several systematic stages. In my master’s thesis, I have presented a modern approach to the development of a wooden tool. After creating a 3D model in SolidWorks, I optimized all potentially critical details through numerical testing. Following the optimization of the 3D model in SolidWorks, a prototype was produced. The prototype was tested using a Zwick Roell 100 tensile testing machine. Finally, I compared the results of numerical testing with those of the prototype testing, providing appropriate commentary and analysis of the results.
