Abstract

Javne obrazovne politike obično određuju strukturu tranzicije kao operativnu razinu uključenosti djece u formalni obrazovni proces. Metode, uključenost djece, obveze sudionika u procesu i očekivani ishodi su unaprijed određeni. Kvaliteta tranzicije iz vrtića u školu može pridonijeti dječjim postignućima i percepciji odgojno-obrazovnog sustava. Svjetska istraživanja ukazuju na potrebu sustavnog istraživanja procesa tranzicije, razumijevanja osobnih perspektiva svih sudionika u procesu i prihvaćanja djece kao aktivnih sudionika u vlastitom obrazovanju. Dok su ovi procesi u Republici Hrvatskoj nedovoljno istraženi, neke europske zemlje (Island, Švedska) na temelju istraživanja mijenjaju odgojno-obrazovne politike kako bi se djeci olakšali prijelazi. Dok se u Republici Hrvatskoj govori o spremnosti djeteta za školu, Island i Švedska govore o spremnosti škole za dijete. Kvalitativni podaci prikupljeni su intervjuima s 9 roditelja i 9 djece tijekom prijelaznog razdoblja djece iz predškolske ustanove u osnovnu školu. Intervjui su vođeni tijekom posljednje godine pohađanja vrtića te nakon 4 mjeseca pohađanja osnovne škole. Etičke smjernice Hrvatskog fonda za znanost (2018) razmotrene su tijekom osmišljavanja i procesa istraživanja. Rezultati su pokazali da roditelji očekuju od vrtića da pripremi dijete za školu. Spremnost za školu vide kao emocionalnu kompetenciju, opće znanje, znatiželju, kreativnost i neovisnost djece. Njihova očekivanja od škole bila su usmjerenost na dijete osiguravajući im učenje kroz igru, kreativne aktivnosti i posvećenost dječjoj sigurnosti. Dok je vrtić ispunio njihova očekivanja, škola nije.

Abstract (english)

Public education policies typically define the structure of transition as the operational level of children’s involvement in the formal educational process. The methods, the involvement of the children, the obligations of the participants in the process and the expected outcomes are predetermined. The quality of the transition from kindergarten to school can contribute to children's achievements and the perception of the educational system. World research points to the need for systematic research into the transition process, understanding the personal perspectives of all participants in the process and accepting children as active participants in their own education. While these processes in the Republic of Croatia are insufficiently researched, some European countries (Iceland, Sweden) are changing their educational policies on the basis of research in order to facilitate children's transitions. While in the Republic of Croatia they talk about the child's readiness for school, in Iceland and Sweden discuss about the school's readiness for a child. Qualitative data were collected through interviews with 9 parents and 9 children during the transition period of children from preschool to primary school. Interviews were conducted during the last year of attending kindergarten and after 4 months of attending primary school. Ethical guidelines of the Croatian Science Fund (2018) were considered during the design and research process. The results showed that parents expect the kindergarten to prepare the child for school. They see readiness for school as emotional competence, general knowledge, curiosity, creativity and independence of children. Their expectations of the school were child-centered providing them with learning through play, creative activities, and a commitment to child safety. While kindergarten met their expectations, the school did not.
