Administrative Aspect of the Work of a Primary School Pedagogue - Case Study

Diplomska naloga se nanaša na proučevanje nekaterih področij dela pedagoga v vlogi šolskega svetovalnega delavca v osnovni šoli. S študijo primera smo analizirali pedagoga na eni izmed slovenskih osnovnih šol. Gradivo za raziskavo smo pridobili z opazovanjem, z nestrukturiranim intervjujem in z analizo dokumentov oz. obrazcev. Delo pedagoga je težko posploševati, saj se razlikuje glede na sposobnosti, potrebe posamezne osnovne šole in vseh udeleženih v procesu. V nalogi smo analizirali štiri teme. Vsako zase smo podrobno in celostno opisali ter analizirali. Vpis v 1. razred je eden temeljnih postopkov, kjer se začne ustvarjati ves proces med otrokom, starši in šolo. Učenci s posebnimi potrebami potrebujejo dodatno obravnavo in postopke dela za dosego vsaj minimalnih standardov znanja. Zaradi povečane globalizacije se je potrebno pripraviti na medkulturnost v okolju. Učenci priseljenci se vse pogosteje vključujejo v slovenske osnovne šole. Nadarjene učence dodatna spodbuda iz okolja vodi k večjemu izkoristku in nadgradnji lastnih potencialov. Vendar delo šolskega pedagoga je več kot le to. Vsak dan se sooča z različnimi nalogami. Znati mora narediti kompromis med preventivno obravnavo vseh učencev in vedno mora imeti čas za tiste posameznike, ki imajo individualne težave. Cilj svetovalnega dela je optimalni razvoj otroka.This thesis examines some of the fields of work of a primary school pedagogue who also takes on the role of a school counselor. We carried out a case study to analyse a certain pedagogue from one of the Slovene primary schools. The study materials were obtained by observations, a non-structural interview and documentation analysis. It is difficult to generalize the work of a school pedagogue because it varies according to capabilities or skills and the needs of each particular primary school and all those who are involved. We analysed four topics, all of which were described holistically and in detail. One of the basic procedures which start the whole process among a child, parents and the school is enrolment in the first class. Children with special needs require additional considerations and work procedures in order to achieve at least minimum standards of knowledge. Due to increased globalization, it is necessary to prepare for interculturalism. Immigrant students are increasingly integrating into Slovene primary schools. Additional incentive from the environment leads to greater utilization and upgrade of potentials of gifted students. However, the work of school pedagogues is much more than that. They face various tasks daily. Not only must they know how to compromise when dealing with all students, but they must also always find the time for students with individual problems. The goal of school counselling is optimal development of a child
