Gardner\u27s theory of multiple intelligences and its application to preschool

V diplomskem delu so predstavljena različna teoretična izhodišča s področja inteligentnosti. Podrobneje je predstavljena Gardnerjeva teorija mnogoterih inteligentnosti, njena izhodišča, kritike in uporabnost v vrtcih. Empirični del diplomskega dela se nanaša na raziskovanje in analizo strokovnih podlag za delo v vrtcu (Kurikulum za vrtce in mesečna priprava na vzgojno delo) ter prepoznavanje Gardnerjevih mnogoterih inteligentnostih v ciljih in dejavnostih. En mesec sem v skupini otrok, starih od 3 do 4 leta, opazovala spontane oz. nenačrtovane dejavnosti med dnevno rutino in prosto igro in poskušala ugotoviti kako se v vzgojnem delu kažejo Gardnerjeve inteligentnosti. Rezultati so pokazali, da v Kurikulu za vrtce najdemo vseh osem Gardnerjevih inteligentnosti, da so prepletene med seboj in zajete v vseh šestih področjih dejavnosti. Iz pridobljenih podatkov ni mogoče sklepati, da sta v vrtcu jezikovna in logično-matematična inteligentnost zastopani v večji meri kot ostale inteligentnosti, kar kritiki očitajo šoli. V mesečni načrt vzgojnega dela so zajete prav vse inteligentnosti. Tudi načrtovane dejavnosti, dnevna rutina in prosta igra so v mojih opazovanjih zajemale vseh šest področij dejavnosti in spodbujanje razvoja vseh osmih inteligentnosti.In the thesis various theoretical baselines from the field of intelligence are presented. In more detail I presented Gardner\u27s theory of multiple intelligences, its bases, criticism and application in preschool education. The empirical part of the thesis deals with research and analysis of literature ("Curriculum for preschool" and monthly preparation for educational work) and recognizing Gardner\u27s multiple intelligences in its goals and activities. For one month I observed a group of children age 3 to 4 years at spontaneous or unplanned activities, such as daily routine and free play, and tried to ascertain how Gardner\u27s intelligences are exhibited in preschool education. The results showed that in the "Curriculum for preschool" we find all eight of Gardner\u27s intelligences and that they are intertwined with each other and included in all six fields of activity. From the obtained data, it cannot be concluded that in preschool there is more representation for language and logical-mathematical intelligence than for other intelligences, what is believed by the critics of current educational system. It can also be concluded, that all intelligences are included in the monthly plan of educational work. Even planned activities, daily routines and free play, by my observations, cover all six areas of activity and encouragement for the development of all eight multiple intelligences
