Abstract

U ovom radu promišlja se o psihološkoj otpornosti djece predškolske dobi s posebnim naglaskom na činjenicu da odgojitelji u svojoj odgojnoj ulozi uvelike sudjeluju u razvoju djetetove otpornosti. U radu se prikazuje istraživanje o doprinosu odgojitelja razvoju psihološke otpornosti kod djece predškolske dobi (3-6,5 god.). Prvi dio rada usmjeren je na pojam stresa jer su saznanja o stresu temelj za osmišljavanje i pravodobnu primjenu strategija za suočavanja sa stresom. Stoga se daju razne definicije stresa te je posebna pozornost usmjerena na stresne događaje kod djece. Drugi dio naglašava bit rada jer ističe važnost otpornosti za suvremenog čovjeka kojemu je stres postao sastavnim dijelom života. Raspravlja se i o povezanosti emocionalne inteligencije sa otpornošću te o rizičnim čimbenicima koji utječu na osnaživanje. Ipak, s obzirom na to da se otpornost uči i razvija opisuju se odgojne metode za jačanje otpornosti koje osim roditelja, trebaju provoditi i odgojitelji u predškolskoj ustanovi. Treći dio rada pobrojava i opisuje vještine suočavanja sa stresom koje odgojitelji trebaju podučiti djecu kako bi ih osnažile. S obzirom na istraživanje koje je provedeno, posebno zanimanje stavlja se na prevenciju. Međutim, navedeno je i kurativno djelovanje koje se koristi kada se stresna situacija već dogodila. Posljednje poglavlje ovoga rada donosi prikaz u istraživanje čiji je cilj bio utvrditi koje strategije koriste odgojitelji za razvoj psihološke otpornosti kod djece predškolskog uzrasta. Istraživanje je provedeno pomoću strukturiranog intervjua u kojem su sudjelovali isključivo odgojitelji te jedna pripravnica kako bi se dobio što detaljniji uvid u praksu i njihova iskustva pri nesposrednom radu s djecom. Na temelju prikupljenih rezultata istraživanja dobiveno je pet različitih skupina postupaka odgojitelja koje koriste za jačanje otpornosti djece u dječjem vrtiću.

Abstract (english)

The topic of this paper is the psychological resilience in pre-school children, with particular emphasis on the fact that pre-school teachers represent a very important factor in the development of resilience in a child due to their educational role. The paper presents the research on the significant contribution of pre-school teachers to the development of resilience in pre-school children (aged 3–6.5). The first chapter of this work is focused on the concept of stress because the knowledge of stress is the basis for designing and timely application of strategies for dealing with stress. Therefore, different definitions of stress are given and special attention is focused on stressful events in children. The second part highlights the essence of work because it emphasizes the importance of resilience to a contemporary man whose stress has become an integral
part of life. Discussion is also about the relationship between emotional intelligence and resilience and the risky factors which weaken their resilience. However, considering fact that resilience is taught and developed, the educational methods for resilience should be used by parents, as well as the pre-school teachers at pre-school establishments. The third chapter lists and describes the competences for stress management, which children ought to be taught by their pre-school teachers in order to enhance their resilience. Considering to conducted research, a special focus is put on the prevention of stressful situations. However, the remedies used after a stressful situation occurs are also discussed. The final chapter of this work offers an insight into the research which aims to discover the methods used by pre-school teachers in order to develop psychological resilience in pre-school children. The research was conducted by the means of interviews with pre-school teachers only, with the exception of one trainee, and they served the purpose of getting a clear insight into their practices and the experiences they have gained through working directly with children. Based on the collected research results, five different groups of pre-school teacher used to enhance child resilience in kindergarten were obtained.
