Use of puppets in primary education |
Secondary abstract: |
In my diploma thesis I describe and explore the use of puppets in primary school. A puppet is a perfect opportunity of authentic communication and at the same time it is a motivator in acquiring curricular goals, but unfortunately it is not sufficiently integrated in everyday school work process.
Therefore in the theoretical part I present the power of puppets, the symbolic play and the importance of a puppet for a child and I explain the benefits of including puppets in school lessons and school curriculum. I also provide many opportunities for the integration of puppets as daily teacher's “helpers” in school life and I explain the importance of a teacher’s role in communicating with a puppet.
In the empirical part I present some of my experiences with the use of puppets in a classroom which confirm the power of a puppet itself. The second part of my empirical work was done through an online survey among male and female teachers confirming that teachers rarely use puppets in a classroom. Most of the teachers think that a puppet is at least occasionally a suitable method for achieving curricular goals, but they think that it is more suitable to be used in lower grades. Puppets are mostly used in Slovenian language lessons that is why most often used methods are puppettelling, puppetalking and puppetizing. There are still too many teachers that believe they do not have proper training to use puppets in school. Most of the knowledge about using puppets in school they have obtained through self-education. |

Abstract (ePrints): |
V svojem diplomskem delu opisujem in raziskujem uporabo lutk na razredni stopnji osnovne šole. Lutka predstavlja idealno možnost pristne komunikacije in je hkrati spodbudnik pri usvajanju kurikularnih ciljev, na žalost pa ni dovolj vključena v vsakodnevni šolski pouk.
V teoretičnem delu zato predstavim, kakšna je moč lutke, predstavim simbolno igro in pomen lutke za otroka ter pojasnim, zakaj je dobro lutke vključiti v šolski pouk in kurikulum. Posredujem tudi številne možnosti za vključevanje lutke kot vsakodnevnega pomočnika učitelja v šolski vsakdanjik in pojasnjujem, kako pomembno vlogo ima učitelj v komunikaciji z lutko.
V empiričnem delu predstavim nekaj svojih izkušenj z uporabo lutk v razredu, s katerimi tudi sama potrdim moč lutke. V drugem delu empiričnega dela pa s pomočjo spletne ankete, ki sem jo izvedla med učitelji in učiteljicami razrednega pouka, potrdim, da učitelji le redko uporabljajo lutke v razredu. Po večini se učiteljem zdi lutka vsaj občasno primerna metoda za doseganje učnih ciljev, a se jim zdi bolj primerna za uporabo v nižjih razredih. Lutko najpogosteje uporabljajo pri pouku slovenščine, zato sta tudi največkrat uporabljeni metodi pripovedovanje in pogovor z lutko ter priprava prizorov z lutko. Še vedno je preveč učiteljev mnenja, da niso dovolj dobro usposobljeni za uporabo lutk v šoli, največ znanja o uporabi lutk v šoli pa so pridobili s samoizobraževanjem. |
