Abstract

Zada a rada je analizirati stilove samopredstavljanja odgojitelja/ica u predškolskom odgojnoobrazovnom kontekstu te dati pregled istraživanja povezanih s ovom temom. Spomenuta analiza temeljena je na Goffmanovoj dramaturškoj teoriji (1956). Prema Goffmanu (1956) naše se svakodnevne interakcije mogu usporediti s kazališnom predstavom jer, poput glumaca na pozornici, igramo različite uloge u različitim situacijama. U skladu s dramaturškom teorijom (Goffman,1956) pojedinci se nastoje ponašati i predstaviti u skladu s profesionalnim identitetom i statusom te izbjeći sramoćenje i moguće neugodne situacije. To je važno i za odgojitelje/ice u vrtićima koje se konstantno podsjeća da su uzori djeci i da trebaju pratiti određene profesionalne standarde. Stoga se podrazumijeva da često balansiraju između autentičnosti i društvenih očekivanja. Različite profesionalne dužnosti podrazumijevaju poučavanje i igru s djecom, ali i razgovore s njihovim roditeljima i interakciju s kolegama. Profesionalna uloga odgojitelja/ica u ovome radu analizira se kroz prizmu Goffmanovih koncepata: izvedba (odnosi se na ponašanje pred promatra ima npr. djecom), pojava (odnosi se na stil odijevanja i sl.), maniri (odnosi se na stil izvedbe i način na koji se ponašanje predstavlja publici, npr. djeci ili roditeljima), timovi (odnosi se na ostale zaposlenike u vrti u koji također sudjeluju u upravljanju dojmovima publike, npr. stručne služe), prednji plan (u kojem pojedinac zna da ga se promatra što je u vrtićkom okruženju primjerice igra s djecom i odgojitelj/ica se ponaša u skladu s društvenim očekivanjima) i stražnji plan (u kojem se pojedinci često ponašaju opuštenije i prirodnije npr. razgovor s kolegom u uredu). Na temelju dane analize i pregleda prethodno provedenih istraživanja raspravlja se o mogu im smjernicama za unapređenje profesionalne prakse odgojitelja/ica u vrtićima.

Abstract (english)

This thesis aims to analyse the self-presentation styles of preschool teachers within the preschool educational context and to provide an overview of research related to this topic. This analysis is based on Goffman's dramaturgical theory (1956). According to Goffman (1956), our daily interactions can be compared to a theatrical performance, as we play different roles in different situations, like actors on a stage. In line with dramaturgical theory (Goffman, 1956), individuals try to behave and present themselves according to their professional identity and status and avoid embarrassment and potentially uncomfortable situations. This is also important for preschool teachers, who are constantly reminded that they serve as role models for children and need to adhere to certain professional standards, often requiring them to balance authenticity with social expectations. Various professional duties include teaching and playing with children, as well as conversing with parents and interacting with colleagues. The professional role of preschool teachers in this paper is analysed through the lens of Goffman's concepts: performance (refers to behaviour in front of observers, such as children), appearance (refers to the dressing style of the preschool teachers etc.), manner (refers to the style of performance and the way behaviour is presented to the audience, such as children or parents), teams (other kindergarten employees that participate in managing audience impressions, such as the professional services), frontstage (in which preschool teachers know they are being observed such as during play with children in the preschool environment and teacher behave according to social expectations), and backstage (in which preschool teachers often behave more relaxed and naturally, such as conversing with a colleague in the office). Based on the given analysis and a review of previous research, guidelines for improving the professional practice of preschool teachers are discussed.
