PUPPETS AND THEIR USE IN CELJE KINDERGARDENS

V diplomskem delu z naslovom Lutke in njihova uporaba v celjskih vrtcih sem predstavila kratko zgodovino lutkovnega gledališča, vrste lutk, predvsem pa sem se v teoretičnem delu osredotočila na pomen lutke za otroka, njeno čarobno moč in uporabnost. Predstavila sem lutko kot vzgojiteljevo pomočnico in lutkovni kotiček v igralnici. V teoretičnem delu je poudarjena vloga in pomen lutke za otroka. V empiričnem delu sem želela pridobiti podatke o tem, koliko se lutke uporabljajo v vrtcih na celjskem. S pomočjo anketnih vprašalnikov sem tako dobila odgovore na zastavljene cilje in hipoteze. Podatki so pokazali, kolikšna je prisotnost lutkovnih kotičkov po posameznih oddelkih, katere tehnike lutk uporabljajo, koliko in na kakšen način. Na koncu so vzgojiteljice podale še svoje mnenje o lutkovnem kotičku.In my diploma paper “Puppets and their use in Celje kindergartens” I introduced a short history of puppet theatre, different types of puppets and most importantly, I focused on their importance in a child\u27s life, their magic power and usefulness. I presented the puppet as teacher\u27s helper as well as a puppet corner in the playroom. In the theoretical part of my diploma paper, the role and the importance of puppets are emphasized. In the empirical part of the diploma, I wanted to gather information about how much puppets are actually used in Celje kindergartens. With the help of a survey questionnaire I got the answers I needed to either confirm or disprove the hypotheses. The data have shown to what extent puppet corners are used in individual sections of the kindergarten, what puppet techniques teachers use, how much and in what way. At the end, kindergarten teachers have presented their opinions about puppet corner
