Approaches to teaching alpine skiing to younger children in practice

Namen diplomske naloge je bil ugotoviti, kakšne pristope poučevanja uporabljajo v praksi različne alpske šole. V diplomski nalogi smo uporabili deskriptivno metodo empiričnega pedagoškega raziskovanja, saj smo v samo pedagoško raziskavo vključili več alpskih šol. Diplomska naloga temelji predvsem na študiji različne literature in na lastnem opazovanju ter ocenjevanju poučevanja različnih alpskih šol, prav tako pa na končnem intervjuju, ki je bil ob koncu tečaja postavljen otrokom. Ugotovili smo, da med smučarskimi šolami ni razlik v samem pristopu učenja alpskega smučanja do otrok. Med opazovanjem na samem smučišču smo izkusili, da je uporaba različnih pristopov učenja odvisna predvsem od učitelja samega in želje staršev. Prav tako smo spoznali, da je pri tem pomembna organizacija smučarske šole. Večina smučarskih šol organizira celodnevne ali pa celo večdnevne tečaje, izjema je samo ena smučarska šola, ki organizira krajši urni tečaj, in sicer v obsegu največ dveh ur. Čez dan ima ta smučarska šola organiziranih več krajših urnih tečajev, kar pomeni, da imajo tečajniki organizirano eno ali dve učni uri, potem jih učitelj v bazi smučarske šole preda staršem in prevzame naslednje otroke. Prišli smo tudi do spoznanja, da je zelo malo individualnih vadb, več je frontalnih. Individualne vadbe so cenovno dražje in se posledično starši raje odločajo za frontalne oblike dela. S pomočjo opazovalnega lista in končnega intervjuja pa smo dognali, da je vzpodbuda otroku še kako pomembna in daje otroku še dodatno motivacijo.The purpose of diploma thesis was to establish the different ways of approaches of alpine schools in practice. In this diploma thesis we used descriptive method of empirical pedagogical research, because several alpine schools were included in the process of pedagogical research. The diploma thesis is based mainly on the study of different literature and on our own observation and assessment of different alpine schools\u27 teaching and also on the final interviewing of children at the end of the course. We established that there is no difference in using different approaches at teaching to children in alpine schools. At observation at the ski slopes we established that using different approaches depends on the teacher and the parents\u27 wish. We also established that the organisation of alpine schools is important too. Most of the alpine schools organises all-day courses or even several days lasting courses. Only one ski school organises shorter course, lasting two hours at the most. That alpine school has several short courses during the day. That means that the course participants have one or two organised lessons and then the teacher brings them back to parents in the ski base and takes the next participating children. We established that there are few individual trainings and more frontal ones. Individual trainings are more expensive and therefore the parents choose frontal teaching. Using the monitoring paper and the final interview we established that encouragement is very important to a child and gives the child the additional motivation
