Prosocial behaviour of students from teachers point of view |
Secondary abstract: |
The diploma thesis deals with prosocial behaviour of primary school children observed from teachers’ point of view. Teachers are viewed as significant factor in the socialization process of children with their working methods and personality enhancing children’s social experiences. Nowadays, teachers should focus not only on teaching, but on educating their students as well. Youth violence and aggressive behaviour should not be tolerated; prosocial behaviour of children therefore needs to be even more encouraged.
The theoretical part of this thesis focuses on social development of primary school children, its characteristics and moral development. While special attention is paid to prosocial behaviour, issues presented in the thesis include some characteristics of antisocial and aggressive behaviour, strategies for dealing with antisocial behaviour and furthermore strategies for encouraging children to fully develop their own personality and social skills. In addition to this, activities which can be used for improving social behaviour are also presented.
The empirical research was carried out with the main goal of establishing teachers’ point of view on their students’ prosocial behaviour. Both qualitative and quantitative survey was based on the online questionnaire filled out by 94 teachers in primary schools around Slovenia. The results show that teachers expect their students to be better-behaved than they actually are. Giving aid and care are the most common examples of prosocial behaviour detected by teachers. Many social situations demand teachers’ intervention and mediation, which are in most cases likely to be realised in a conversation. Teachers use a wide range of methods and techniques to foster prosocial behaviour; the most successful among them proved to be conversation, model teaching, social games, group work and role play. The findings also suggest that the majority of teachers wish to gain extra knowledge in the field of prosocial behaviour, as they think schools should give special emphasis to the field in question and improve conditions for fostering prosocial behaviour. |

Abstract (ePrints): |
Diplomsko delo preučuje prosocialno vedenje učencev osnovnih šol z vidika učiteljev. Učitelji so v otrokovem življenju pomemben dejavnik socializacije. S svojo osebnostjo in načinom dela lahko pripomorejo k izboljšanju socialnih izkušenj svojih učencev. V današnji šoli se vloga učitelja ne sme osredotočati le na raven izobraževanja, ampak mora učitelj posebno pozornost nameniti vzgojnemu vidiku svojega dela. Treba je bolj spodbujati prosocialno vedenje otrok in si ne zatiskati oči pred nasiljem in agresivnostjo mladih.
V teoretičnem delu je predstavljen socialni razvoj osnovnošolskih otrok, značilnosti socialnega razvoja in vedenja ter moralnega razvoja. V nadaljevanju sem pozornost namenila prosocialnemu vedenju, predstavila sem tudi nekatere značilnosti antisocialnega in agresivnega vedenja, nekatere strategije za soočanje z antisocialnim vedenjem, kako spodbujati osebnost in socialni razvoj otrok in katere dejavnosti lahko uporabimo za izboljšanje socialnega vedenja otrok.
Izvedla sem empirično raziskavo, kjer je bil moj glavni namen spoznati pogled učiteljev na prosocialno vedenje njihovih učencev. Kvalitativno-kvantitativna raziskava, v kateri je sodelovalo 94 učiteljev rednih osnovnih šol po Sloveniji, je bila izvedena s pomočjo spletne ankete. Raziskava je pokazala, da imajo učitelji višja pričakovanja do vedenja svojih učencev, kot pa je vedenje, ki ga opažajo pri njih. Pomoč in skrb sta tista primera prosocialnega vedenja, ki ga učitelji najpogosteje zasledijo pri učencih. Mnoge socialne situacije zahtevajo od učitelja, da v njih posreduje na različne načine. Anketirani učitelji najpogosteje intervenirajo s pogovorom. Za krepitev prosocialnega vedenja pa učitelji uporabljajo različne metode in tehnike. Po njihovem mnenju pogovor, modelno učenje, socialne igre, oblike skupinskega dela in igra vlog najbolj prispevajo k le-temu. Pokazalo se je tudi, da ima večina učiteljev potrebo po dopolnilnih znanjih na področju krepitve prosocialnega vedenja. Menijo, da bi šole morale dati večji poudarek temu področju in izboljšati pogoje za krepitev prosocialnega vedenja. |
