PROJECT WORK WITH PUPPETS IN INTEGRATION WITH OTHER AREAS OF THE CURRICULUM

V diplomski nalogi z naslovom Projektno delo z lutkami v integraciji z drugimi področji kurikula sta zajeta teoretičen in praktičen del. V teoretičnem delu smo najprej predstavili lutko, vrste lutk, dejavnosti z lutko, povezavo lutkovno-dramskega področja z ostalimi področji kurikula. Podrobno smo opisali projektno delo, njegova načela in tipe. Predstavili smo tudi organizacijo, zgradbo in potek projekta. Opisali smo lutko kot pomagalo pri dejavnostih področij iz kurikula, kako si lahko z njo pomagamo pri različnih področjih ter kako lahko lutka pomaga otrokom pri igri in učenju. Največjo pozornost smo usmerili v praktičen del naloge, to je izvedba projekta v vrtcu. Vemo, da je igra otrokova glavna in zelo pomembna potreba, saj se preko nje otrok celostno razvija, zato smo preko nje izoblikovali vse dejavnosti. V ta del naloge smo vključili tudi dnevne priprave s cilji, sredstvi in metodami dela, ki smo jih uporabili. Vsaki pripravi pa je sledila tudi kasnejša evalvacija in slikovni material. Namen je bil izvesti projekt in pri otrocih vzbuditi interes in veselje do igranja z lutkami. Spodbuditi smo želeli domišljijo otrok in jim približati lutkovno dramatizacijo. Uporabili smo deskriptivno metodo, kjer smo proučevali na nivoju opisovanja dejstev, odnosov in procesov brez vzročnega razlaganja. Prav tako smo uporabili tudi metodo projektnega dela.The diploma paper titled Project work with puppets in integration with other areas of the curriculum includes theoretical and practical part. In the theoretical part we presented the puppet, different types of puppets, activities including puppets and the connection of puppet-drama area with other areas of the curriculum. We presented the organization, structure and the course of the project in detail. We described the puppet as a prop in curriculum activities, how to use it in different areas and how a puppet can help children at playing and learning. Our attention was mostly directed at the practical part of our diploma paper, that is the performance in the kindergarten. We know that play is children\u27s main and most important need for their whole developmenttherefore, we prepared all the activities based on play. Included in this part are daily lesson plans with aims, means and methods used. After each lesson we had an evaluation and picture material. The main aim was to conclude the project and build interest and enjoyment in children to play with puppets. We wanted to encourage children\u27s imagination and familiarize them with puppet dramatisation. We used descriptive research, and we studied at the level of describing facts, relationships and processes without including cause and effect. We also used project method
