The competent child: alternatives in preschool education

Batistič Zorec, Marcela (author)

In my presentation, I will start from the perception of the child as powerless and help needing individual, an “empty bottle” in which we “pour” the knowledge. An alternative to this perception is the competent child, especially stressed in Reggio Emilia approach. In the research and education project on Faculty of Education at the University of Ljubljana (2009–2013), we encouraged about 200 Slovene teachers to introduce the Reggio Emilia elements (participation and listening to children, the advantage of learning before teaching, hundred languages of children, project work in small groups, documentation...), to their preschool practice.
