THE PUPPET AS A MEANS FOR MOTIVATION WHILE TELLING STORIES

Teoretični del diplomske naloge obsega kratek opis zgodovine lutkarstva na Slovenskem. Opisani so tudi različni tipi lutk (ročna lutka, prstna lutka, marioneta ali lutka na nitki, ploska lutka, lutka na palici, senčna lutka in lutka kot igrača ali predmet). Zajeli smo tudi pravljice, pomen lutke, njeno vlogo in vpliv, ki ga ima na otroka. Predstavljeno je pripovedovanje z lutkami in dialoška dramska igra z lutkami. V drugem, empiričnem delu diplomske naloge smo ugotavljali prisotnost lutk v vrtcu in ali se v vrtcu poslužujejo metode pripovedovanja pravljic z lutko. Izvedena je bila anketa med vzgojitelji v vrtcih v Beltinci, Murska Soboti in Srednji Bistrici. Ugotovljeni rezultati so prikazani z razvrstilnimi stolpičastimi grafikoni. V tretjem, praktičnem delu, smo z otroki izdelali lutke na palici po pravljici "Trije prašički", se o njih pogovorili in jih na koncu uporabili pri pripovedovanju pravljice.The teoretical part of this diploma thesis is a brief overview of the history of puppetry in Slovenia. it describes the different types of puppets (hand puppets, finger puppets, marionettes or string puppets, flat puppets, rod puppets, shadow puppets, mimicry puppets and puppets used as a toy or an object).
