Abstract

Pandemija koronavirusa suočila je svijet s brojnim izazovima, a zasigurno su različitim nepovoljnim uvjetima bila izložena djeca i mladi među kojima se posebno osjetljivima za nepovoljne uvjete iz okoline smatraju djeca s teškoćama i njihove obitelji.
Poznato je da su odgojno-obrazovne ustanove na svim razinama mjesta na kojima djeca ostvaruju socijalne kontakte s njihovim vršnjacima i drugim važnim odraslim osobama, a koje su u slučaju pandemije mnogobrojnoj djeci bile nedostupne na uobičajeni način. Podržavajuća odgojno-obrazovna okolina osigurava emocionalnu, socijalnu i kognitivnu dobrobit djeci te je stoga svrha ovog diplomskog rada bila istražiti povezanost pandemije koronavirusa i kvalitete odgojno – obrazovne podrške djeci s teškoćama u razvoju uključenima u predškolske ustanove. Za potrebe izrade ovog rada i prikupljanja podataka kreiran je upitnik od 15 pitanja među kojima se tri odnose na sociodemografske karakteristike ispitanika. Preostalih 12 pitanja/tvrdnji odnosi se na pristupačnost i pripremljenost predškolskog sustava da u ovim specifičnim uvjetima odgovori na potrebe djece. Slaganje s navedenim tvrdnjama ispitanici su izražavali pomoću skale Likertovog tipa od 5 stupnjeva rangiranih od najnižeg 1 uopće se ne slažem do najviše rangiranog 5 u potpunosti se slažem. U ovom istraživanju sudjelovalo je 70 ispitanika. Iz rezultata se može zaključiti da ustanove ranog i predškolski odgoja i obrazovanja većinom nisu u nastalim okolnostima bile pripremljene za pružanje odgovarajuće podrške djeci s teškoćama u razvoju.

Abstract (english)

The coronavirus pandemic has made the world face different challenges and especially exposed to different unfavourable conditions were young people and children, including children with disabilities and their families, who are particularly vulnerable to sudden changes. It is well known that educational institutions of all levels are the places where children make
social contacts with their contemporaries and grown-ups, but due to pandemic, they were partially or fully closed. A supportive educational environment ensures the emotional, social and cognitive well-being of children, and therefore the purpose of this final thesis was to research the connection between the coronavirus pandemic and quality of educational support to children with disabilities involved in preschool institutions. For the purposes of preparing this thesis and collecting data, a questionnaire with 15 questions was created, three of which refer to socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents. The remaining 12 questions/statements refer to accessibility and readiness of preschool system to respond to the needs of children in these specific conditions. The respondents specified their level of agreement or disagreement using Likert scale, which formats 5 Likert-items, from 1 (strongly disagree), to 5 (strongly agree). 70 respondents participated in this survey. According to the
results, it can be concluded that during coronavirus pandemic preschool educational institutions were mostly not prepared to provide adequate support to children with disabilities.
