Uloga odgojitelja u prijelazu djeteta iz dječjeg vrtića u osnovnu školu

Ovaj rad teoretski objašnjava suvremene teorije prelaska djeteta iz dječjeg vrtića u osnovnu školu. Program predškole obavezan je u Republici Hrvatskoj i propisan je zakonskim i podzakonskim aktima i propisima. Program predškole provodi se pri dječjim vrtićima, a provode ga odgojitelji. Odgojitelj koji provodi program predškole posjeduje određene kompetencije za obavljanje odgojno-obrazovnog rada. Dio njegovih kompetencija je uvažavanje kompetencija djeteta u godini pred polazak u školu. Isto tako u ovom radu opisane su teorije spremnosti za školu prema najnovijim saznanjima, a koje naglašavaju individualni razvoj svakog djeteta. Prema njima, kvalitetan prijelaz postaje odgovornost svih uključenih aktera koji zajednički rade na njegovom olakšavanju. Istraživanje je provedeno među odgojiteljima iz okolice. Ispitan je stav odgojitelja o kompetencijama za provođenje programa predškole. Nadalje, ispitan je stav prema kompetencijama odgojitelja i kompetencijama djeteta. Odgojitelji su navodili svoje mišljenje o stavu roditelja prema programu predškole, a koji su izgradili tijekom svog rada u programu predškole, ili u radu s djecom pred polazak u školu. Većina odgojitelja navodi velike razlike u shvaćanjima programa predškole roditelja djece, te ističu potrebu bolje informiranosti roditelja. Također, navode i da stavovi roditelja utječu na njihov rad. Iz svega navedenog proizlazi da je potreban rad na povezivanju odgojitelja i roditelja na način koji će omogućiti bolju informiranost roditelja, a samim tim i bolju i kvalitetniju suradnju.
