LUTKA U ODGOJNO-OBRAZOVNOM PROCESU

Abstract

Tema ovog diplomskog rada glasi: Lutka u odgojno-obrazovnom procesu. Rad se fokusira na lutki, točnije na scenskoj lutki kao jedno od temeljnih odgojiteljskih sredstava u radu s djecom predškolske dobi. Zna se da je lutka jedna od najvažnijih, ako ne i najvažnija igračka s kojom se dijete igra već od najranije dobi. Lutka utječe na njegov cjelokupan razvoj. Pozitivno utječe na kognitivni, psihički, emocionalni i fizički razvoj djeteta. U radu je naglasak na scenskim lutkama i primjeni istih u radu s djecom predškolske dobi. Znanstveno istraživački dio rada daje informacije o korištenju scenske lutke u odgojno-obrazovnim aktivnostima s djecom predškolske dobi. Podatci u istraživanju su prikupljeni metodom intervjuiranja. Ispitano je šest odgojiteljica uživo te su podatci bili ručno zapisani nakon svakog odgovora. U radu su zapisani svi odgovori i analiza dobivenih odgovora od strane ispitivača. Cilj istraživačkog dijela bio je: provjeriti koriste li se odgojitelji lutkama u odgojno-obrazovnom procesu u skupini u kojoj rade, jesu li pohađali edukacije o scenskim lutkama i gdje, u kojim aktivnostima najviše koriste lutke, postoji li povezanost korištenja lutaka i radnog staža, koriste li se lutke više u jaslicama ili vrtiću, istražiti koje vrste lutaka se najviše koristi u radu s djecom i radi čega, istražiti razloge korištenja lutaka u odgojno-obrazovne svrhe, istražiti smatraju li oni lutke potrebnima u radu s djecom te ustanoviti primjenjuju li Personu doll u radu s djecom i ako da, na koji način. Odgovori su se sakupljali u razdoblju od 2. svibnja do 10. svibnja 2025.The topic of this thesis is Puppets in the Educational Process. The paper focuses on puppets—more precisely, on stage puppets—as one of the fundamental educational tools used in working with preschool children. It is well known that a puppet is one of the most important, if not the most important, toys that a child interacts with from an early age. Puppets influence a child’s overall development, having a positive impact on their cognitive, psychological, emotional, and physical growth. This paper specifically examines stage puppets and their application in educational work with preschool children. The research section provides insights into how stage puppets are used in educational activities. Data for the study were collected through interviews. Six educators were interviewed, and their responses were manually recorded after each session. The paper presents all of the responses and includes an analysis conducted by the researcher. The aim of the research was to examine whether educators use puppets in the educational process within their groups, and whether they have attended training on stage puppets, including where such training took place. It also sought to identify the types of activities in which puppets are most frequently used, and to determine whether there is a correlation between the use of puppets and the length of an educator’s professional experience. Furthermore, the research explored whether puppets are used more often in nurseries or kindergartens, which types of puppets are most commonly used and for what purposes, and the reasons educators choose to use puppets for educational purposes. In addition, the study investigated whether educators consider puppets to be a necessary tool in working with children, and whether they apply the Persona Doll method in their educational practice, as well as how they use it if they do
