Vloga in prepričanja vzgojiteljev o razvojno primerni praksi: sistematični pregled literature
Povzetek
V tem sistematičnem pregledu literature so bili obravnavani: različne naloge, ki jih imajo vzgojitelji pri spodbujanju razvojno primerne prakse, različna prepričanja vzgojiteljev o njej ter dejavniki, ki vplivajo na prepričanja in zaznave vzgojiteljev o njej. Za izvedbo tega pregleda je bila uporabljena obsežna iskalna strategija v različnih podatkovnih zbirkah, da bi našli ustrezne študije, objavljene med letoma 2010 in 2023. Merila za vključitev so zajemala študije, ki so se osredinjale na vlogo in prepričanja vzgojiteljev pri spodbujanju razvojno primerne prakse. V pregled je bilo vključenih skupno 14 študij. Izsledki kažejo, da imajo vzgojitelji pri spodbujanju razvojno primerne prakse različne vloge, kot so: ustvarjanje varnega in spodbudnega učnega okolja, zagotavljanje raznolikih učnih izkušenj, prilagojenih specifičnim potrebam in interesom vsakega otroka, sodelovanje z družinami, da bi otrokom zagotovili potrebno podporo doma, ter zagovarjanje potreb majhnih otrok in njihovih družin. Prepričanja vzgojiteljev o razvojno primerni praksi pripisujemo različnim dejavnikom, vključno z njihovimi osebnimi izkušnjami kot učenci, njihovim usposabljanjem in s strokovnim razvojem, kulturo vrtca ali šole, v kateri delajo, ter z razpoložljivostjo virov in podpore za izvajanje razvojno primerne prakse. Ugotovitve poudarjajo, da je pomembno, da vzgojitelji dobro razumejo razvojno ustrezno prakso in jo lahko učinkovito izvajajo v svojih razredih. Poleg tega je ključnega pomena, da se vzgojiteljem zagotovijo možnosti strokovnega razvoja, ki lahko okrepijo njihova prepričanja o razvojno ustrezni praksi in jim pomagajo, da se naučijo, kako jo učinkovito izvajati.
