STIMULATING CREATIVITY IN A COMBINED CLASS

Cilj rad bio je osvrnuti se na rad u kombiniranim razrednim odjelima. Tekst razmatra organizaciju rada u takvim odjelima sa svim svojim specifičnostima. Dotaknula sam se nekih metodičko-didaktičkih rješenja u nastavi s kombiniranim odjelima te pitanja uređenja i opremanja učionica. Poseban naglasak stavila sam na samostalni rad učenika, planiranje i provođenje nastavnih aktivnostima u kombiniranom odjelu. Dobar odabir strategija poučavanja u ovakvim uvjetima rada s učenicima, preduvjet je poticanju kreativnosti u nastavi. Važna zadaća učiteljice/učitelja, upravo je, i razvoj, i poticanje kreativnosti različitim tehnikama za poticanje kreativnosti. Djelovanje učitelja treba biti u funkciji razvoja i oslobađanja kreativnog potencijala učenika. Rad bi trebao biti poziv sadašnjim i budućim učiteljicama/učiteljima da pokušaju na jedan drugačiji način promišljati o nastavnom procesu primjenjujući nove kreativne načine poučavanja. Na primjeru iz pedagoške prakse pokazala sam da kreativna nastava u kombiniranim razrednim odjelima može zadovoljiti razvojne i sve druge potrebe učenika u razrednoj nastavi.The aim of the paper was to discuss teaching in combined classes. The article deals with teaching management in such classes with all its peculiarities. Several methodical and didactic solutions in teaching combined classes were commented as well as arranging and furnishing classrooms. The focus was given to the independent work of pupils, planning and implementation of teaching activities in a combined class. A good choice of teaching strategies is a precondition for encouraging creativity in the teaching process. The important task for a teacher is development and stimulation of creativity precisely by means of different techniques. Teacher’s activities should aim to develop pupils’ creative potential. The paper should be a call for current and future teachers to try to think in a different way about the teaching process and to apply creative teaching methods in their work. Based on the example from school practice, I have shown that creative teaching in combined classes can satisfy developmental and all other needs of pupils in the first four classes of elementary school
