Abstract

U suvremenom društvu obilježenom utjecajem globalizacije, migracije i miješanje različitih kultura neizbježna je pojava koja utječe na način življenja. Migracije su povijesna konstanta te su u uzročno – posljedičnoj vezi s nizom drugih faktora. Izbjeglice su posebno ranjiva skupina migranata čija su prava definirana Konvencijom o statusu izbjeglica (1951). U kriznim situacijama djeca su najranjivija te im je potrebno pružiti pomoć i sigurnost. Skupina djece pod nazivom „djeca bez pratnje“ su osobe mlađe od 18 godina, državljani su treće zemlje ili osobe bez državljanstva, a nalaze se izvan svoje zemlje porijekla. Države potpisnice Konvencije o pravima djeteta (1989) dužne su poduzeti odgovarajuće mjere pomoći i podrške. Kulturno ispreplitanje pojava je koja utječe i na odgoj i obrazovanje. Pojavljuju se novi pristupi pedagogiji, između kojih je i interkulturalna pedagogija. Odgojitelj ima odgovornost razvijati vlastite socijalne i emocionalne kompetencije kako bi bio model djeci za učenje prihvatljivog ponašanja. Interkulturalno obrazovanje osposobljava djecu za prihvaćanje i poštivanje različitih kultura koje postoje u tradicionalnom društvu. Da bi takav oblik rada opstao u ustanovama ranog i predškolskog odgoja i obrazovanja, inicijalno i cjeloživotno obrazovanje odgojitelja trebalo bi ih osposobiti da u svim elementima njihove profesije inkluzija bude temeljno polazište njihovog rada.
Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je identificirati kompetencije studenata diplomskog studija smjera ranog i predškolskog odgoja i obrazovanja Učiteljskog fakulteta u Zagrebu. Rad je podijeljen u dva dijela. Prvi dio analizira teorijske radove i dokumente, a drugi dio je empirijski. U istraživanju su sudjelovali izvanredni i redovni studenti završne diplomskog studija Učiteljskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu (n = 97). Oni su popunjavali Upitnik o interkulturnoj praksi u ustanovama ranog i predškolskog odgoja i obrazovanja. Istraživanjem je potvrđeno da izvanredni studenti imaju više iskustva u radu s djecom – migrantima, a redovni studenti imaju više znanja o predrasudama, mogućnostima doprinosa odgojitelja i dječjih vrtića razvoju uključivih vrijednosti djece. Dobiveni rezultati upućuju na potrebu kvalitetnijeg pozicioniranja interkulturalnog obrazovanja u inicijalnom obrazovanju i profesionalnom razvoju odgojitelja.

Abstract (english)

In modern society marked by the influence of globalization, migration and mixing of different cultures are inevitable phenomenons that affect the way of life. Migrations are a historical constant and are causally related to a number of other factors. Refugees are a particularly vulnerable group of migrants whose rights are defined by the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees (1951). In crisis situations, children are the most vulnerable and need help and security. A group of children called "unaccompanied children" are persons under the age of 18, third-country nationals or stateless persons, and are outside their country of origin. States parties to the Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989) are obliged to take appropriate measures of assistance and support. Cultural intertwining is a phenomenon that affects both upbringing and education. New approaches to pedagogy are emerging, including intercultural pedagogy. The educator has a responsibility to develop their own social and emotional competencies to be a model for children to learn acceptable behaviors. Intercultural education enables children to accept and respect the different cultures that exist in a traditional society. In order for this form of work to survive in early and preschool education institutions, the initial and lifelong education of educators should enable them to include inclusion in all elements of their profession as a fundamental starting point for their work.
The aim of this research was to identify the competencies of graduate students in the field of early and preschool education at the Faculty of Teacher Education in Zagreb. The paper is divided into two parts. The first part analyzes theoretical papers and documents, and the second part is empirical. Part-time and full-time graduate students of the Faculty of Teacher Education, University of Zagreb (n = 97) participated in the research. They filled in the Questionnaire on Intercultural Practice in Early and Preschool Institutions. The research confirmed that part-time students have more experience in working with migrant children, and full-time students have more knowledge about prejudices, the possibilities of the contribution of educators and kindergartens to the development of inclusive values of children. The obtained results indicate the need for better positioning of intercultural education in initial education and professional development of educators.
