Abstract

Ovaj rad istražuje važnost prirodoslovne edukacije u ranom i predškolskom obrazovanju, naglašavajući značaj igre u prirodi kao ključne metode učenja. Analizirani su različiti aspekti znanstvene pismenosti i njen utjecaj na kognitivni, socijalni i emocionalni razvoj djece. Istaknuto je da rano izlaganje djece znanstvenim fenomenima kroz igru i istraživanje potiče njihovu znatiželju, kritičko mišljenje i kreativnost. Aktivnosti na otvorenom, prilagođene interesima djece, omogućuju im da razviju motoričke vještine, samopouzdanje i sposobnost suradnje. Poseban naglasak stavljen je na prilagodbu aktivnosti uvjetima okoline i refleksiju nakon aktivnosti, što djeci pomaže da konsolidiraju nova znanja i iskustva. Sigurno okruženje, poticanje radoznalosti, interaktivnost i suradnja ključni su elementi uspješnog prirodoslovnog obrazovanja. Kroz ovakav pristup, djeca razvijaju ljubav prema učenju i istraživanju, pripremajući se za buduće akademske i životne izazove. Rad također ističe potrebu za kontinuiranim ulaganjima u rano znanstveno obrazovanje kako bi se osigurao skladan razvoj djece i njihova spremnost za život u suvremenom društvu.

Abstract (english)

This paper explores the importance of scientific education in early childhood and preschool education, emphasizing the significance of outdoor play as a key learning method. Various aspects of scientific literacy and its impact on children's cognitive, social, and emotional development are analyzed. It highlights that early exposure to scientific phenomena through play and exploration stimulates curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity in children. Outdoor activities, tailored to children's interests, allow them to develop motor skills, self-confidence, and cooperation skills. Special emphasis is placed on adapting activities to environmental conditions and reflection after activities, helping children consolidate new knowledge and experiences. A safe environment, encouragement of curiosity, interactivity, and collaboration are crucial elements of successful scientific education. Through this approach, children develop a love for learning and exploration, preparing them for future academic and life challenges. The paper also underscores the need for continuous investment in early scientific education to ensure the harmonious development of children and their readiness for life in modern society.
