A mathematical walk with preschool children |
Secondary abstract: |
The thesis discusses the connection of mathematics with other areas, specifically with the nature. This connection can be included in child's everyday life. Nature can be used as content for the creation of mathematical problems, the motivation, and also as a learning space for child. With the help of »mathematical walk« that is tailored for pre-school children and their stage of development is presented an interesting way to encourage a child to explore. The first part of the thesis covers theoretical aspects of child’s development and preschool learning of mathematics in everyday life in kindergarten. It presents us the way mathematics is related to the nature and how children can learn it from nature. It is important that children learn from practical experience, as it will be an active participant in the process of learning. The empirical part of the thesis presents two walks which I had carried out in different seasons with older children from kindergarten Čebelica (Bee) from Šentjernej. Their statements, answers to the questions, their activities and procucts shows what they had already known and what had learned from the walk. |

Abstract (ePrints): |
V diplomski nalogi je obravnavana povezava matematike z drugimi področji, natančneje z naravo. To povezavo lahko vključimo v otrokov vsakdan. Naravo lahko uporabimo kot vsebino za oblikovanje matematičnih problemov, motivacijo, lahko pa tudi kot za sam učni prostor. Predstavljen je način, kako lahko na zanimiv način spodbudimo otroka k raziskovanju – s pomočjo »matematičnega sprehoda«, ki je prilagojen predšolskim otrokom oz. njihovi razvojni stopnji. Prvi del diplomske naloge zajema teoretični vidik razvoja otroka, učenja matematike predšolskih otrok v vsakdanjem življenju, v vrtcu. Naloga nam predstavlja, na kakšen način je matematika povezana z naravo, kaj vse lahko otrok počne v njej, katere matematične vsebine oz. pojme lahko spozna. Pomembno je, da se otrok uči iz konkretnih izkušenj, saj bo le tako aktiven udeleženec procesa učenja. V empiričnem delu diplomske naloge sta predstavljena sprehoda, ki sem ju izvedla v različnih letnih časih s starejšimi otroki vrtca Čebelica iz Šentjerneja. Ob njihovih izjavah, odgovorih na zastavljena vprašanja, ob dejavnostih in končnih izdelkih je razvidno, kaj že znajo in kaj so se s samim sprehodom novega naučili. |
