UNDERSTANDING THE ELEMENTS OF CULTURAL HERITAGE IN SLOVENIAN STORIES

V teoretičnem delu diplomskega dela smo na osnovi teoretičnih izhodišč in strokovne literature predstavili ključne pojme, torej teorijo kulturne dediščine, pripovedk in pravljičnih likov, ki se pojavljajo v pripovedkah. Zapisali smo globalne in konkretne cilje jezikovne in književne vzgoje v vrtcu ter cilje za posamezna področja dejavnosti, katerih namen je osvojiti, poglobiti kulturno dediščino in literarno-estetsko doživljanje. Predstavljena je tudi vloga vrtca pri ohranjanju kulturne dediščine. S kakovostnimi pripovedkami, ki zaživijo kot dediščina slovenske slovstvene folklore in slikajo pomembne dogodke naših prednikov, seznanjamo otroke v vrtcu o nastanku naše dežele in s koreninami slovenstva. Obenem z vključevanjem sestavin kulturne dediščine v vrtce prispevamo k njenemu ohranjanju. V praktičnem delu diplomskega dela smo natančneje predstavili izbrana dela. Sledila je praktična izvedba branja in druge dejavnosti v vrtcu, povezane z branjem izbranih del v oddelku otrok starosti 4–6 let. Namen praktičnega dela v diplomskem delu je bil ugotoviti, ali s pomočjo slovenskih ljudskih pripovedk otroci usvojijo konkretne elemente kulturne dediščine. Ugotavljali smo tudi, ali je pripovedka ustrezen način motiviranja otrok.In the theoretical part of this thesis key elements were presented based on theoretical basis and specialised literature, that is cultural heritage, folk tales and fairytale creatures appearing in folk tales. Also the role of the kindergarten in preservation of cultural heritage is presented. We suppose that storytelling is a good method of motivation for a kindergarten class of children aged 4-6 years. With high quality tales, which live as Slovene literary folklore and present important events from the lives of our ancestors, we teach children about the beginnings of our country and roots of the nation. By integration of elements of cultural heritage into kindergarten we contribute to its preservation. In the practical part of this thesis selected works have been presented in more detail. That was followed by practical execution of reading and other follow-up reading activities presented in lesson plans. The purpose of practical work was to establish whether or not children can adopt concrete elements of cultural heritage via Slovene folk tales. We also tried to establish whether the folk tale is an appropriate method of motivation. In the practical part lesson plans are included with goals and activities to adopt and deepen cultural heritage
