The role of kindergarden teachers in developing giftedness in children

Darovitost se može opisati kao sposobnost pojedinca da postiže iznadprosječne rezultate u jednom ili više područja. Darovita djeca tako mogu imati izrazito razvijene jezične, matematičke, tehničke, glazbene te socijalne vještine. Da bi djeca predškolske dobi (za koju se smatra da su potencijalno darovita) razvila svoju darovitost, potreban je utjecaj okoline. Osim roditelja, vrlo važnu ulogu imaju i odgojitelji. Odgojitelj kao obrazovana osoba ima zadatak uočiti darovito dijete i na to reagirati na, način da prilagodi program njegovim posebnim potrebama i interesima. To može učiniti individualnim radom ili radom u malim skupinama, radom na projektu, uključivanjem u izvanvrtićke aktivnosti i prikupljanjem različitih materijala. Različite aktivnosti koje su poželjne za rad s darovitom djecom opisane su u programu NTC sustava učenja. Za rad s darovitom djecom potrebno je uvažavati njegove specifične interese i kreativno pristupati radu.Being gifted can be described as an individual's ability to achieve above average results in one or more areas. Gifted children have very developed skills like language, math, music, social or technical skills. For the kindergarten children to develop their skills to their full potential they need external influences. Outside their parents, kindergarten teachers play a big role in developing this potential. A kindergarten teacher is a person who has the task of noticing a gifted child and reacting in a way to adapt the program to that child's interests and needs. That can be done by individual work with the child or by working in small groups with other children, by working on a project, enrolling the child in extracurricular activities outside of kindergarten and by gathering different materials. Different activities that are desirable in working with these children are described in the NTC learning program. To work with gifted children its important to indulge their specific interests and to be creative in your work
