Kamishibai in preschool education

Ovaj rad temelji se na analizi stručne literature koja se tematski bavi važnošću pričanja priča općenito, a posebice djeci predškolske dobi pomoću tradicionalne japanske metode pripovijedanja nazvane - kamišibaj. Odrasli djeci pripovijedaju priče iz više razloga. Jedan od razloga jest užitak. Slušajući priču dijete uživa i odlazi u neki drugi svijet, razvija maštu i kreativnost. Osim užitka, priče djeci pružaju nove spoznaje. Priče postoje kako bi prenijele važne poruke i misli. Živa riječ ima veliki utjecaj na odrasle, pa tako i na djecu, zato je poman odabir ključan. U kombinaciji sa slikom, živa riječ postaje još snažnija. Upravo je zbog toga tradicionalna japanska metoda pripovijedanja priča, nazvana kamišibaj, pogodna za prenošenja priče s ciljem poticanja užitka u priči, razumijevanja priče i poučavanja djece. Nadalje, pozitivan utjecaj na djecu predškolske dobi, osim slušanja priča i gledanja izvedbi, ima i stvaranje vlastitih (Velički, 2013). Tomu potpomažu radionice koje je odgojitelj u mogućnosti osmisliti sam ili zajednički s djecom. Cilj ovoga rada, kamišibaja kojeg sam osmislila i prateće metodičke razrade jest doprinijeti prepoznavanju ove metode među kolegama odgojiteljima kako bi navedenu koristili ili pokušali koristiti u svome daljnjem radu u odgojno-obrazovnoj ustanovi. Osim užitka, svrha ponuđenoga kamišibaja i radionice jest poticanje mašte i kreativnosti te otkrivanje djetetovih talenata, prepoznavanje i doživljavanje emocija, smanjivanje jezičnih barijera i smetnji, suzbijanje straha od javnog govorenja i slično. Kamišibaj i dramskopedagoške radionice potiču djecu na stvaranje vlastitih priča, prenošenje priča na papir te prikaz istih pomoću dramske igre.This thesis is based on an analysis of professional literature that thematically deals with the importance of storytelling in general, especially to preschool children, using a traditional Japanese method of storytelling called - kamishibai. Adults use storytelling techniques with children for several reasons. One of the reasons is pleasure. By listening to stories, children feel a sense of enjoyment and enter into another world, developing creativity and imagination. Additionally to pleasure, the stories provide new insights, and convey important messages and thoughts. Spoken word has a sagnificant effect on adults and children, therefore selecting the stories carefully is critical. When combined with an image, the spoken word becomes even stronger. This is why the traditional Japanese method of storytelling, called kamishibai, is suitable for storytelling with the aim of encouraging enjoyment in the story, understanding the story, and teaching children. Furthermore, in addition to listening to stories and watching performances, the creation of one's own has a positive impact on preschool children (Velički, 2013). This is supported by workshops that the educator is able to design alone or together with the children. The aim of this thesis, kamishibai, which I designed and the accompanying methodological elaborations, is to contribute to the recognition of this method among fellow educators in order to use or try to use it in their further work in the educational institution. In addition to pleasure, the purpose of the offered kamishibai and workshop is to stimulate imagination and creativity and discover the child's talents, recognize and experience emotions, reduce language barriers and disturbances, suppress the fear of public speaking and so one. Kamishibai and drama pedagogical workshops encourage children to create their own stories, transfer stories to paper and present them using a sramatic activities
