Dramatic expression of children in kindergarten

Govorit će se o kreativnosti i stvaralaštvu općenito te o ponašanjima odraslih koji mogu spriječiti razvoj kreativnosti kod djece. Napravit će se poveznica između dramskog izražavanja i dječje igre te će se istaknuti važnost i uloga odgojitelja prilikom provođenja dramskih aktivnosti u dječjem vrtiću. Predstavit će se dobrobiti koje dramsko izražavanje nosi sa sobom te što o dramskom izražavanju djece u dječjem vrtiću piše u Nacionalnom kurikulumu za rani i predškolski odgoj i obrazovanje, temeljnom dokumentu za rad u okviru ranog i predškolskog odgoja i obrazovanja, izdanom 2014. godine (Ministarstvo znanosti, obrazovanja i sporta). Također, razmatrat će se koliku podršku odgojiteljima daje spomenuti dokument. Naposlijetku će biti predstavljene dramske radionice koje sadrže dramske igre i dramske tehnike koje mogu pomoći kod poticanja dječje kreativnosti, ali i za ostvarivanje dobrobiti propisanih dokumentima. Budući da su neke od priloženih dramskih radionica provedene u dječjem vrtiću sa šestogodišnjom djecom, rad donosi i evaluaciju na provedene dramske aktivnosti. Provođenjem dramskih aktivnosti te poticanjem dramskog izražavanja djece u dječjem vrtiću, ostvaruju se ciljevi odgojno-obrazovnoga rada na jedan kreativniji način, djeci blizak kao jedan od načina poticanja dječje kreativnosti u svim aspektima dječjeg rasta i razvoja.In this study it will be present the topic of the importance of dramatic expression of children in kindergarten.
