Abstract

Odgojno-obrazovna inkluzija djece s teškoćama u razvoju zahtijeva planiranje, vrijeme i educiranje stručnjaka. Danas je sve više djece s teškoćama u razvoju uključeno u redovne grupe predškolskih ustanova sa svojim vršnjacima, a kako bi im se omogućila podrška koja je prikladna te ostvario njihov pun potencijal, uključuju se pomoćnici. Pomoćnici, kao djelatnici ustanove za rani i predškolski odgoj i obrazovanje, pružaju podršku koja se odnosi na djetetovu socijalizaciju s vršnjacima te odgojiteljima, postizanje samostalnosti u svakodnevnim aktivnostima te pomoć pri osnovnim odgojno-obrazovnim potrebama. Osim navedenog, pomoćnici surađuju s ostalim djelatnicima vrtićima, odnosno odgojiteljima te stručnim suradnicima, ali i roditeljima djece s teškoćama u razvoju razmjenjujući informacije koje su potrebne kako bi se ostvario napredak djeteta. Ovaj rad ima za cilj analizirati i ispitati ulogu pomoćnika u dječjim vrtićima u radu s djecom s teškoćama u razvoju. Istraživanje je provedeno u obliku on-line upitnika na temu „Uloga pomoćnika u dječjim vrtićima u radu s djecom s teškoćama u razvoju“, a bilo je namijenjeno odgojiteljima djece rane i predškolske dobi s različitom razinom iskustva u predškolskom sustavu odgoja i obrazovanja. Prema rezultatima istraživanja sudionici smatraju kako je pomoćnik bitan djetetu s teškoćama u razvoju te kako ima velik doprinos pri praćenju napretka djeteta i kreiranju ciljeva koje dijete može ostvariti, ali i kako bi svako dijete s teškoćama u razvoju trebalo imati svog pomoćnika. Isto tako, sudionici smatraju i slažu se kako bi pomoćnik trebao biti iz odgojiteljske prakse, odnosno kako poslove pomoćnika ne može obavljati svatko te kako je važna edukacija pomoćnika za njegov daljnji rad.

Abstract (english)

The educational inclusion of children with developmental disabilities requires planning, time and educating experts. Today, more and more children with developmental disabilities are included in regular groups of preschool institutions with their peers, and in order to provide them with appropriate support and realize their full potential, assistants are included. Assistants, as employees of an institution for early and preschool upbringing and education, provide support related to the child's socialization with peers and teachers, achieving independence in daily activities and help with basic educational needs. In addition to the above, the assistants cooperate with other employees of kindergartens, that is, educators and professional associates, but also with parents of children with developmental difficulties, exchanging information that is necessary to achieve the child's progress. This work aims to analyze and examine the role of assistants in kindergartens in working with children with developmental disabilities. The research was conducted in the form of an online questionnaire on the topic "The role of assistants in kindergartens in working with children with developmental disabilities", and it was intended for educators of early and preschool children with different levels of experience in the preschool education system. According to the results of the research, the participants believe that an assistant is important for a child with developmental disabilities and that it has a great contribution in monitoring the child's progress and creating goals that the child can achieve, but also that every child with developmental disabilities should have their own assistant. In the same way, the participants believe and agree that the assistant should be from educational practice, that is, that not everyone can perform the work of an assistant and that the education of the assistant is important for his further work.
