Value orientations of educators in educational work with early and preschool children

Vrijednosti se javljaju kao važan istraživački fenomen u gotovo svim društvenohumanističkim znanostima. Imaju važnu ulogu u životu svakog pojedinca i društva. One izražavaju povezanost čovjeka s društvom u kojem živi te osmišljavaju i usmjeravaju ljudski život. Cilj istraživanja ovog diplomskog rada je bio ispitati i utvrditi vrijednosne orijentacije studenata ranog i predškolskog odgoja i obrazovanja i odgojitelja u odgojno-obrazovnom radu s djecom rane i predškolske dobi, kako bi se utvrdila njihova podudarnost s vrijednostima proklamiranima u Nacionalnom kurikulumu za rani i predškolski odgoj i obrazovanje: znanje, humanizam i tolerancija, identitet, odgovornost, autonomija i kreativnost. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su kako se studenti i odgojitelji u najmanjem postotku u potpunosti slažu s vrijednosti identitet, pripadajućom česticom da sustav vrijednosti djece treba biti sličan roditeljskom, a u najvećem postotku u potpunosti slažu s vrijednosti znanje, pripadajućom česticom da čovjek uči cijeli život. Odabiri studenata i odgojitelja najviše se podudaraju u svezi procjene vrijednosti autonomija i znanje, a najviše udaljuju oko procjene vrijednosti identitet, humanizam i tolerancija te odgovornost. Pri tome je studentima važnija vrijednost humanizma i tolerancije, a odgojiteljima vrijednost autonomije. Čini se kako je mlađim generacijama više stalo do humanizma i tolerancije nego do identiteta.Values are emerging as an important research phenoenon in almost all socio-human sciences. They play an important role in the lives of each indvidual and society. They express the connection of each indvidual and society. They express the connection of man to the society in wich he lives and to design and direct human life. Theaim oft this diploma research was to examine and determine the value orientations of early and pre-school student sin early childhood and early childhood eudcation, in order to determnine their correspondence with the values proclaimed in the National Curriculum for Early and Preschool Education and education: knowledge, humanism and tolerance, identity, responsibility, autonomy and creativity. The results of research showed that students and educators in the smallest percentage agree completely with the values of identity, wich belong to the particle, that the system of children should be similar to the parent, and the largest number of percentages must agree completly with the walues of knowledge, and belonge to the particle that a person learns all his life. The choices of students and educators most closley match the declared value of autonomy and knowledge, and they most enjoy the assessment of the value of identity, humanism and tolerance and responsibility. In doing so, the value of humanism and tolerance was important to students, and educators had autonomy. Younger generations seem to care more about humanism and tolerance than identity
