Developmental bibliotherapy : a means of collaborating with preschool educators and librarians to encourage reading

Rad nastaje motiviran promišljanjem o mogućnostima poticanja čitanja kod djece. Predškolska djeca većinu svog vremena provode izvan kuće u vrtićima, pa je istraživanje provedeno na populaciji predškolskih odgajatelja. Istraživanje se provodi metodom ankete i metodom intervjua koji dodatno objašnjava statističke podatke dobivene anketom. Anketnim upitnikom prikupljeni su podaci o upoznatosti odgajatelja s pojmom razvojne biblioterapije, kao i o učestalosti upotrebe ove metode u radu s predškolskom djecom u vrtićkim skupinama. Također su prikupljene i informacije o postojanju institucijske suradnje vrtića i knjižnica. Intervju je proveden s psihologinjom i terapeutkinjom Ivanom Jurić. Intervju je dao dodatnu perspektivu kvantitativnim podacima. Istraživanjem je utvrđeno kako je razvojna biblioterapija vrlo dobra metoda za ostvarivanje suradnje između odgajatelja i knjižničara. Isto tako utvrđene su prepreke ka ostvarenju takve suradnje, kao i smjer u kojem je potreban daljnji rad za ostvarivanje takve suradnje.The work is motivated by thinking about the possibilities of encouraging reading in children. Pre-school children spend most of their time away from home in kindergartens, so the study was conducted on a population of pre-school educators. The survey is conducted through a survey method and an interview method that further explains the statistics obtained by the survey. The questionnaire collected information about the educators' familiarity with the concept of developmental bibliotherapy, as well as the frequency of using this method in working with preschool children in kindergarten groups. Information was also collected on the existence of institutional cooperation between kindergartens and libraries. The interview was conducted with psychologist and therapist Ivana Jurić. The interview gave additional perspective to the quantitative data. Research has found that developmental bibliotherapy is a very good method for collaborating between educators and librarians. Obstacles to such cooperation have also been identified, as well as the direction in which further work is needed to achieve such cooperation
