Vrtčevski otroci preživijo precej časa v prostorih vrtca, kjer so jim ponujene različne dejavnosti. Mnoge dejavnosti, tudi take, ki bi se lahko izvajale na prostem v ožji ali širši okolici vrtca, se dogajajo v prostoru. Med temi je tudi naravoslovna tematika, kjer je pomembno, da otroku ponudimo neposreden stik z okoljem. Moje diplomsko delo je zasnovano na terenskih raziskavah možnosti, kaj bi lahko delali z vrtčevskimi otroki v naravi. V Rogaševcih na Goričkem sem praktično preverila možnosti za takšno delo. Na izbranem območju z apnenčasto matično podlago sem nastavljala talne pasti ter živali, ki živijo na rastlinah, lovila tudi z lovilnico (s kečerjem). Na podlagi teh raziskav in boljšega poznavanja žuželk in drugih majhnih živali sem načrtovala naravoslovne aktivnosti v vrtcu za predšolske otroke stare od 3—6 let. Posebno pozornost v nalogi sem namenila stiku otrok z živimi organizmi. Otroku moramo omogočiti lastno raziskovanje in eksperimentiranje, saj so lastne dejavnosti ena izmed najboljših možnosti za neposredno in pristno spoznavanje okolja. Kindergarten children spend substantial time on the premises of the kindergarten, where they are offered different activities. Many activities, which also might be carried out in nature in the immediate or wider surroundings of the kindergarten, are executed inside buildings. Among these there are also themes in natural sciences, where it is important to offer a child a direct contact with the environment. My diploma is based on a field research to determine possibilities of which activities could be organized for children in nature. In Rogaševci in Goričko I explored the possibilities of such a work in practice. In a selected limestone teritorry, I settled a series of pitfall traps and I also caught animals living on plants with a catcher. Based on this research and being better introduced in insects and other small animals, I planned activities in the field of natural sciences for 3–6 years old preschool children in kindergarten. I gave particular attention to the children’s contact with the living organisms. The child must be allowed to do its own research and experimentation as these activities is one of the best way for direct and authentic learning of the environment. |
