ACQUIRED COMPETENCES OF PRESCHOOL EDUCATION STUDENTS IN THE FIELD OF SPORTS ACTIVITIES IN KINDERGARTEN

V diplomskem delu z naslovom Pridobljene kompetence študentov predšolske vzgoje na področju športnih dejavnosti v vrtcu smo želeli pojasniti in opredeliti pridobljene kompetence študentov zaključnih letnikov študijskega programa Predšolska vzgoja Univerze v Mariboru in Univerze na Primorskem. V teoretičnem delu smo predstavili gibalne/športne dejavnosti ter strokovno usposobljenost vzgojiteljev za delo v vrtcu. Opisali smo ključne, splošne in specifične kompetence ter kompetence vzgojiteljev na področju športnih dejavnosti v vrtcu, ki smo jih delili na želene, pridobljene in dejanske kompetence. V empiričnem delu smo uporabili kavzalno-neeksperimentalno metodo, kot raziskovalni instrument smo uporabili anketni vprašalnik, ki ga je izpolnilo 111 študentov PeF UM in PeFUP. Ti predstavljajo neslučajnostni vzorec. Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti, kakšne so pridobljene kompetence študentov zaključnih letnikov programa Predšolska vzgoja za področje športnih dejavnosti v vrtcu, in ugotoviti, ali obstajajo razlike v pridobljenih kompetencah med študenti študijskih programov Predšolska vzgoja Univerze v Mariboru in Univerze na Primorskem. Ugotovili smo, da se študenti obeh fakultet rekreativno ukvarjajo s športom enkrat tedensko in da študenti PeF UP pripisujejo večjo pomembnost splošnim in specifičnim kompetencam kot študenti PeF UM. Rezultati so pokazali, da imajo študenti, ki so končali splošno gimnazijo, več pridobljenih kompetenc in pripisujejo večji pomen izvajanju gibalnih/športnih vsebin kot drugi ter da se najbolj usposobljene za izvajanje gibalnih/športnih vsebin v vrtcu počutijo študenti, ki so končali drugo srednjo šolo.The diploma paper entitled Acquired Competences of Students of Preschool Education in the Field of Sports Activities in the Kindergarten, we wanted to clarify and define the acquired competences of the students in the final year of the study programme Preschool Education at University of Maribor and University of Primorska. The theoretical part presents physical/sports activities and educators\u27 professional qualifications for working in the kindergarten. It describes the key, general and specific educators\u27 competences in the field of sports activities in the kindergarten. The competences are further divided on desired, acquired and actual. In the empirical part, we employed a causal-experimental method, as a research method we used a questionnaire which was completed by 111 students of UM Faculty of Education and Faculty of Education UP. They represent a random sample. The purpose of this paper was to determine the acquired skills of students in the final year of the study programme Preschool Education in the field of sports activities in the kindergarten and to determine whether there are differences in acquired competences between students of the final year of the programme Preschool Education at the University of Maribor and the University of Primorska. We have found out that students of both faculties engage in recreational sports once a week and that students of Faculty of Education UP attach greater importance to general and specific competences than students of Faculty of Education UM. The results have shown that the students who have completed general secondary school have more acquired competences and attach more importance to implementation of physical/sports contents than others, and that students who have completed other secondary schools feel the most qualified for carrying out physical/sports activities in the kindergarten
