Preschool education students\u27 self-evaluation of their perental engagement competence

Diplomsko delo z naslovom Samoocena študentov predšolske vzgoje glede kompetenc sodelovanja s starši je sestavljeno iz teoretičnega in empiričnega dela. V teoretičnem delu smo najprej predstavili študij predšolske vzgoje ter pomembnost prakse za naš poklic. Velik poudarek smo dali oblikam sodelovanja v vrtcu med vzgojitelji in starši, saj temu veliko pozornosti namenjamo tako vzgojitelji kot starši. Starši, ki otroka prvič vpišemo v vrtec, imamo možnost, da se sami odločimo za vrtec, prav tako pa se ob otrokovem prihodu v vrtec seznanimo z uvajanjem, vsakodnevnim sodelovanjem in kasneje tudi s prehodom iz vrtca v šolo. Kompetence, ki si jih študentje pridobimo skozi izobraževanje, pa so ravno tako pomembne. Kompetence smo opredelili in jih predstavili po ravneh. Empirični del zajema raziskavo o pripravljenosti študentov predšolske vzgoje na sodelovanje s starši. Anketni vprašalniki so bili razdeljeni med študente treh fakultet v Sloveniji, in sicer na mariborski, ljubljanski in primorski fakulteti. Vseh izpolnjenih anketnih vprašalnikov je bilo 120. Zanimalo nas je, katere oblike sodelovanja se jim zdijo pomembne, koliko se čutijo usposobljene za sodelovanje s starši.My graduation thesis Preschool Education Students’ Self-Evaluation of Their Parental Engagement Competences consists of a theoretical and an empirical part. In the theoretical part, I first present the preschool education study programme and the importance of practice for our profession. I stress the importance of engaging preschool teachers with parents, since both sides have great interest in mutual engagement. Parents, who enrol their child in kindergarten, have the ability to choose a kindergarten. At the same time, they are expected to take part in their child’s induction into the kindergarten, to cooperate with the preschool teachers daily and to participate in their child’s kindergarten-school transfer. Competences, which are mastered during the preschool education study programme, are equally important. I have studied and presented competences. The empirical part consists of a survey about preschool students’ readiness to engage with parents. Questionnaires have been delivered to students belonging to three Slovenian faculties in Ljubljana, Maribor and Koper. I have received 120 filled in questionnaires. I wanted to investigate what forms of engagement students find meaningful and if they feel qualified enough to engage with parents
