Abstract

Od svojih početaka čovjek je dio prirode. Prirodni svijet, koji čine biljke, životinje, tlo, zrak i voda te sav okoliš koji nas okružuje omogućuje nam sve potrebno za život. Davno prije, ljudi su živjeli u skladu s prirodom, no dolaskom novog doba, povećanjem populacije i razvojem znanosti i tehnologije čovjek je prirodu mijenjao i prilagođavao ju sebi. Užurbani način života, količina svakodnevnih obveza i nepoznavanje tehnologije narušava djetetov razvoj. Kako bi se dijete razvilo, potrebna mu je priroda koja je u današnje vrijeme znatno zapostavljena. Stoga je potrebno vratiti ravnotežu između prirode i čovjeka te naučiti živjeti u skladu s njom. Ono što šumsku pedagogiju čini jedinstvenom je sloboda djeteta i njegov boravak u prirodi tijekom cijelog dana, neovisno o vremenu. U ovom radu prikazan je način funkcioniranja šumskog vrtića te primjena šumske pedagogije u razvoju socijalne interakcije između djece međusobno i u vezi s prirodom. Rad također govori o pomanjkanju prirode u dječjem rastu i razvoju te posljedicama koje ono ima na novije generacije. U sklopu rada provedeno je istraživanje o tome koliko su roditelji upoznati s pojmom šumskog vrtića i šumskom pedagogijom te kakvo je njihovo mišljenje o utjecaju iste na dječji rast i razvoj. Navedena su nastojanja i očekivanja primjene šumske pedagogije u području rada odgojno-obrazovnih ustanova, te nastojanja da se ostvari vrhunski cilj – povratak djeteta u prirodno okruženje. Takav cilj usredotočen je na budućnost čovječanstva i usmjerenju ka budućnosti kakvu želimo da žive naša djeca.

Abstract (english)

Since the beginning, man has been a part of nature. The natural world, which consists of plants, animals, soil, air and water and all the environment that surrounds us, provides us with everything we need for life. A long time ago, people lived in harmony with nature, but with the arrival of a new age, the increase in population and the development of science and technology, man changed nature and adapted it to himself. A busy lifestyle, the amount of daily obligations and ignorance of technology impairs the child's development. In order for a child to develop, he needs nature, which nowadays is considerably neglected. Therefore, it is necessary to restore the balance between nature and man and learn to live in harmony with it. What makes forest pedagogy unique is the child's freedom and his stay in nature throughout the day, regardless of the weather. This thesis presents the functioning of a forest kindergarten and the application of forest pedagogy in the development of social interaction between children with each other and in relation to nature. Thesis also talks about the lack of nature in children's growth and development and the consequences it has on newer generations. As part of the thesis, research was conducted on how familiar parents are with the concept of forest kindergarten and forest pedagogy, and what their opinion is about its impact on children's growth and development. The efforts and expectations of the application of forest pedagogy in the field of work of educational institutions, as well as the efforts to achieve the highest goal – the return of the child to the natural environment, are stated. Such a goal is focused on the future of humanity and the direction towards the future we want our children to live.
