Abstract

Ustanove ranog i predškolskog odgoja i obrazovanja u Republici Hrvatskoj početkom 2020. godine doživljavaju velike promjene u organizaciji rada. Prekida se redovni odgojno-obrazovni rad zbog COVID-19, pa vrtići počinju s radom na daljinu, tj. nastaju vrtići kod kuće. Preporuke koje su donijete obuhvaćale su cijeli obrazovni sustav, a u predškolskim ustanovama su epidemiološke mjere bile gotovo nemoguće za provesti. Djeca rane i predškolske dobi ostala su bez svakodnevne vrtićke rutine. Međutim, roditelji su imali priliku osvjestiti svoje roditeljstvo, upoznati svoju djecu još bolje i kvalitetnije provoditi vrijeme s njima. Dječji vrtići su prebacili odgojno-obrazovni rad na virtualne platforme, web stranice vrtića te društvene mreže. Iako je to mnogim ustanovama predstavljalo novitet, aktivnosti su se svakodnevno dijelile i omogućavale su djeci sudjelovanje iako fizički nisu pohađala vrtić. Takvim načinom rada u pitanje su dovedeni utjecaji medija na djecu i velika izloženost ekranima. Život u predškolskoj ustanovi se promijenio, a odgojitelji su postali još značajniji. Roditelji su shvatili važnost vrtića, ne kao čuvališta, već kao mjesta odgoja i obrazovanja, mjesta druženja, aktivnog istraživanja i mjesta učenja. Ono što je ostalo nepromijenjeno u većini vrtića, a predstavlja neizmjerno važan dio rada svakog odgojitelja je partnerski odnos s roditeljima koji se nije narušio čak ni u vrijeme zatvaranja vrtića. Pandemija je dovela do značajnih promjena, a poštivanjem epidemioloških mjera narušen je sklad i atmosfera u vrtiću – dječjoj kući. Postoji vrlo mali broj istraživanja na temu COVID-19 u ranom i predškolskom sustavu. U kojoj mjeri su implikacije koronavirusa utjecale na djecu i na rad odgojitelja ostaje tek za istražiti.

Abstract (english)

In early 2020, the institutions of early childhood education and care in the Republic of Croatia are undergoing major changes in the organization of work. Regular educational work is interrupted due to COVID-19, so kindergartens start working remotely, i. e. kindergartens are formed online. The recommendations covered the entire education system and in preschools epidemiological measures were almost impossible to implement. Children of early and preschool age were left without a daily kindergarten routine. However, parents had the opportunity to raise awareness of their parenting, get to know their children even better and spend more quality time with them. Kindergartens have transferred educational work to virtual platforms, kindergarten websites and social networks. Although this was a novelty for many institutions, activities were distributed daily and allowed children to participate even though they did not physically attend kindergarten. This way of working put into question the influences of the media on children and high exposure to screens. Life in preschool has changed, and educators have become even more significant. Parents understood the importance of kindergarten, not as a guardhouse, but as a place of education, a place of socializing, active research and a place of learning. What remains unchanged in most kindergartens, and is an immensely important part of the work of each educator, is the partnership relationship with the parents that did not break down even at the time of the kindergarten closure. The pandemic has led to significant changes, and the observance of epidemiological measures has damaged the harmony and atmosphere in the kindergarten – the children's house. There are very few studies on COVID-19 in the early and preschool system. The extent to which the implications of the coronavirus have affected children and the work of educators remains to be explored.
