Abstract

Nadarjeni učenci v osnovni šoli predstavljajo izjemno heterogeno skupino, zato je pomembno, da učitelji veliko pozornosti namenijo učencem, ki po svojih sposobnostih izstopajo. Magistrsko delo je sestavljeno iz dveh delov. V teoretičnem delu je na podlagi literature opredeljeno, kdo so nadarjeni učenci, in pojasnjeno, kako jih prepoznavamo v osnovnih šolah. b tem so opisane razlike med individualizacijo, diferenciacijo in personalizacijo pouka ter predstavljeni možni pristopi k delu z nadarjenimi učenci pri pouku angleškega jezika. Empirični del je razdeljen na dva dela. Najprej je bila izvedena anketa med učitelji angleškega jezika v osnovnih šolah, nato pa še pol strukturirani intervju z učitelji na podravskih osnovnih šolah. To nas je vodilo do zaključkov, ki so podprli naše hipoteze. Ugotovili smo, da odlične ocene niso primarni kriterij za prepoznavanje nadarjenosti; učitelji so bolj pozorni na učenčev bogat in razširjen besedni zaklad in njihovo sposobnost hitrejšega usvajanja določenih jezikovnih prvin. Pri nadarjenih učencih razvoj besedišča ni le rezultat gledanja angleških filmov ali igranja računalniških igric. Prav tako učitelji ne opazijo bistvenih razlik med spoloma, vendar se zavedajo pomena prilagajanja dela nadarjenim učencem. Poučevanje v šolah ni odgovornost enega samega učitelja, temveč sodelovanje, kar se izkaže za pomembno tudi pri delu z nadarjenimi učenci.

Secondary abstract:	Gifted students in primary school constitute an extremely heterogeneous group, so it is important that teachers pay close attention to students who stand out in terms of their abilities. This Master's thesis consists of two parts. The theoretical part, based on literature, defines who gifted students are and explains how they are identified in elementary schools. Moreover, the differences between individualization, differentiation and personalization of lessons are described and possible approaches to working with gifted students in English language classes presented. The empirical part is divided into two sections. First, a survey among English language teachers in primary schools was carried out, followed by a semi-structured interview with teachers at Podravje primary schools. This led us to draw conclusions that supported our hypotheses. We found that excellent grades are not the primary criterion for identifying giftedness; rather, teachers pay attention to student’s rich and extended vocabulary and their ability to acquire certain language elements more quickly. For gifted students, vocabulary development is not solely the result of watching English-language films or playing computer games. Similarly, teachers do not notice significant differences between genders but recognise the importance of adapting the work for gifted students. Teaching in schools is not the responsibility of a single teacher, but a collaborative effort, something that also proves important when working with gifted students.
