The diploma titled »Study the conifers in kindergarten« presents how children, aged 5 to 6 learn how to precisely observe and get to know the organisms with the use of different senses, how to use the simplified biological key to define organisms and to get to know the diversity and variety of nature. In the theoretical part of this paper the constructivist approach to the teaching of the primary nature sciences is presented, including the connection with the characteristics of the development and abilities of children aged 5 to 6 and the role of adults in the given context. On the basis of the findings from all these areas the activities for the practical work and play in the kindergarten are formed. All the activities are presented in the practical part of this paper.

Abstract (ePrints): |
Diplomska naloga »Spoznavanje iglavcev v vrtcu« predstavlja, kako se otroci, stari 5–6 let, učijo natančno opazovati in spoznavati organizme z uporabo čim več čutil, uporabljati preprost biološki ključ za določanje organizmov in spoznavati pestrost in raznolikost narave. V teoretičnem delu naloge je predstavljen konstruktivistični pristop poučevanja začetnega naravoslovja v povezavi z razvojnimi značilnostmi in sposobnostmi pet - do šestletnih otrok ter vloga odraslih v tem kontekstu. Na podlagi ugotovitev z vseh teh področij so oblikovane dejavnosti za praktično delo in igro v vrtcu. Vse te dejavnosti so predstavljene v praktičnem delu diplomske naloge.
Rezultati, zbrani na koncu učnega projekta, dokazujejo, da otroci v vrtcu, v starosti 5–6 let, lahko spoznavajo in raziskujejo take kompleksne pojme, kot so prav iglavci – seveda z naravoslovnimi in ostalimi dejavnostmi, primernimi njihovi starosti in sposobnostim. Spoznavanje organizmov na zanje nov, igriv in zanimiv način otrokom še bolj približa naravo. Spoznajo in občutijo njeno pestrost in raznolikost, daje jim možnost in priložnost za pogosto bivanje in gibanje v njej ter tako ustvarja osnovo za ekološko zavest. |
