Alternative Pedagogies In Early And Preschool Education

Abstract

Tema ovog rada su alternativne pedagogije koje su se javile kao odgovor na zahtjeve suvremenog djeteta. Znanstvenici i roditelji su kroz povijest izražavali nezadovoljstvo tadašnjim pedagoškim konceptima te kao odgovor ponudili svoje koncepte za bolji odgojno-obrazovni proces prilagođeniji djetetu i njegovim potrebama. Posebno važnima ističu se djetetova samostalnost, poštivanje njegovih potreba te suradnja djeteta, roditelja i odgojitelja. U radu je navedeno nekoliko alternativnih pedagogija te više o njihovim utemeljiteljima. Iznesena su pedagoška načela, strategije poučavanja, te položaj djeteta i uloga odgojitelja. Alternativni koncepti odgovor su na današnji ubrzani razvoj suvremenog svijeta kako bi djetetu ponudili što cjelovitiji rast i razvoj u okolini koja je djetetu poticaj i u kojoj se dijete osjeća slobodno i ostvareno.The theme of this paper are alternative pedagogies that have emerged in response to the demands of the modern child.
