Comparative Analysis of Science and Social Studies Teaching in Public and Waldrof Schools

Tema ovog diplomskog rada je Komparativna analiza nastave Prirode i društva u državnim školama i Waldorfskoj školi. Na početku rada bit će pojašnjen način organizacije obrazovnog sustava Republike Hrvatske koji nudi mogućnost obrazovanja u državnim, ali i alternativnim školama poput Waldorfske škole. Alternativne škole nastale su kako bi promijenile koncept odgojno-obrazovnog procesa. To su škole koje ne primjenjuju razredno-predmetno-satni sustav, nego su uspostavile vlastiti način rada, propagiraju slobodan i radni odgoj, a učitelji i roditelji mogu uvoditi pedagoške i metodičke novitete. Državne škole su škole o čijem radu sve odluke donosi Ministarstvo znanosti i obrazovanja Republike Hrvatske. U radu će biti prikazan način organizacije i osnovna načela funkcioniranja Waldorfske škole i pedagogije, kratka biografija Rudolfa Steinera osnivača škole i metode te načela po kojima škola djeluje. Posebno će se analizirati nastava prirode i društva koja se odvija u državnim školama i Waldorfskoj školi te će se utvrditi organizacijske i ciljne razlike koje postoje u realizaciji tog nastavnog predmeta. U tu svrhu prikazat će se rezultati istraživanja u kojem su intervjuirane dvije učiteljice iz navedenih škola. Pitanjima, odnosno odgovorima dobit ćemo uvid u način rada učitelja u navedenim školama u nastavi prirode i društva i organizaciji nastave tog nastavnog predmeta. Nadalje, načinit će se komparativna analiza te će tablicom biti prikazane uočene sličnosti i razlike u organizaciji nastave prirode i društva na temelju određenih stavki. U posljednjem dijelu rada bit će iznijeti konačni zaključci provedenog istraživanja.The subject oft his graduate thesis is Comparative analysis of science and social studies teaching in public and Waldorf schools . At the beginning of the work will be explained a way of organizing the education system of the Republic of Croatia which offers the possibility of education in public schools, but also alternative schools like Waldorf School. Alternative schools were created to change the concept of the educational process. These are the schools that do not apply the class-to-subject-hour system, but have established their own way of working, propagate free and work education, and teachers and parents can introduce pedagogical and methodical novelties. State schools are the schools of whose work all decisions are made by the Ministry of Science and Education of the Republic of Croatia. The paper will present the way of organization and the foundation of the principle of functioning of Waldorf School and Pedagogy, a short biography of Rudolf Steiner, the founder of the school, and the methods and principles under which the school operates. Special attention will be paid to the teaching of nature and society that takes place in state schools and Waldorf school and will identify the organizational and target differences that exist in the realization of this subject. To this end, the results of the research will be presented in which two teachers from the mentioned schools were interviewed. With questions and answers we will gain insight into the way out teachers work in the mentioned schools in teaching nature and society and organization of teaching this subject. Furthermore, a comparative analysis will be made and the table will show the observed similarities and differences in the organization of nature and society teaching on the basis of certain items. In the last part of work will present the final conclusion of the research
