Abstract

Required reading is an important aspect of teaching literature in the subject of Croatian Language and Literature. Its primary task is to develop and support the student’s motivation and love for reading by providing encounters with valuable literature. Required reading methodology has been unaltered for a long period of time, so there is a need for new and more efficient ideas. Creative approach to required reading is a concept which promotes innovations in literature methodology, with the student’s motivation and curiosity as its starting point. One of its principles is integration – a constructivist approach which advocates meaningful linking of knowledge and skills from different areas across the teaching and learning process. Ideas of integrated approach were established within the constructivist movement, starting at the end of the nineteenth century, and they are still relevant in contemporary educational trends. Integration is a complex organisational form, so the teaching practice may need concrete guidelines for its implementation. Apart from giving an overview of integration theory, its development and characteristics, this paper will try to explore the possibilities for organising integration based on required reading. It considers the integrative potential of literature in the light of diversity of its artistic and informational components, and links it to general terms of organisation and realisation of interdisciplinary teaching. The study will also present a proposal of an integrated teaching unit based on a required reading work for the fourth grade of primary school – Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren. The main idea of this work is that exploring the integrative possibilities of literature could be an accessible and valuable starting point for making progress in teaching practice.

Abstract (croatian)

Lektira je od izuzetne važnosti u poučavanju književnosti unutar nastavnog predmeta Hrvatski jezik i književnost. Njezina primarna zadaća jest razvijanje i poticanje učenikove motivacije i ljubavi prema čitanju, kroz pružanje mogućnosti za susret s vrijednim književnim djelima. Metodički pristup lektiri već je godinama nepromijenjen, stoga postoji potreba za novim i učinkovitijim idejama. Kreativni pristup lektiri je koncept koji promiče inovacije u metodici književnosti čije su polazišne točke učenička motivacija i znatiželja. Jedan od njegovih principa jest integracija – konstruktivistički pristup koji zagovara smisleno povezivanje znanja i vještina iz različitih područja unutar procesa poučavanja i učenja. Ideje integriranog pristupa utemeljene su unutar konstruktivističkog pokreta još s kraja devetnaestog stoljeća, a relevantne su i u suvremenim obrazovnim trendovima. Integracija je složen organizacijski oblik, i zato učiteljska praksa zahtijeva konkretnije smjernice u njenom ostvarivanju. Osim pregleda teorije, povijesnog razvoja i obilježja integriranog pristupa, u ovome će se radu istražiti mogućnosti organizacije integracije na temelju lektire. U radu se promišlja o integracijskom potencijalu književnosti u svjetlu raznolikosti njezinih umjetničkih i informativnih sastavnica, te se ostvaruje poveznica s općenitim pojmovima organizacije i ostvarenja integriranog poučavanja. Također, predstavit će se i prijedlog integriranog nastavnog plana temeljenog na lektirnom djelu za četvrti razred osnovne škole – Pipi Dugoj Čarapi spisateljice Astrid Lindgren. Misao vodilja ovoga rada je da bi istraživanje integracijskih potencijala književnosti moglo biti pristupačno i vrijedno ishodište za ostvarivanje promjena u učiteljskoj praksi.
