Abstract

Tko su zapravo asistenti u nastavi i koja je njihova uloga u obrazovanju djece s poteškoćama u razvoju, te koje sve uvjete moraju ispunjavati kako bi uopće postali asistenti u nastavi, samo su neka od pitanja na koja se pokušava odgovoriti u ovom radu. Pomoću anketnog istraživanja ispitivalo se kako asistenti doživljavaju svoju ulogu i svoj rad s djecom s teškoćama u razvoju. Istraživanjem se nastojao dobiti uvid u razinu obrazovanja asistenata, vrstu poteškoće djeteta kojem pomažu, njihovu procjenu koliko im je edukacija za asistenta pomogla u dosadašnjem radu, te informaciju o tome jesu li prije početka rada bili upoznati sa specifičnošću djeteta kojem će pomagati u nastavi.Također asistenti su odgovarali na pitanja vezana uz suradnju s roditeljima i učiteljima djeteta te s problemima s kojima su se susretali u svojem radu s djetetom. Istraživanje je provedeno na uzorku od 14 ispitanika, odnosno asistenata u nastavi, u 3 osnovne škole na području gradova Varaždina i Čakovca. Rezultati provedenog istraživanja pokazuju da su asistenti u nastavi uglavnom mlade i, u većem dijelu, visokoobrazovane osobe. Također, većina je asistenata prije početka rada s djetetom znala kakvu vrstu teškoće ima dijete s kojim će raditi, edukaciju za asistente procjenjuju korisnom, a kao neke od teškoća navode nedostatak stručne literature i grupa podrške u kojima bi izmjenjivali iskustva s drugim asistentima .

Abstract (english)

Who are, actually, teaching assistants, what is their role in the education of the children with disabilities and what requirements should they fulfill in order to become teaching assistants? Those are some of the questions which this study tries to answer. Research about assistants’ perception of their role and their work with children with disabilities was made by conducting a survey. The study sought to gain insight into the education level of assistants, type of difficulty of the child who they are helping, their estimation of how much was their assistance helpful and information on whether, prior to the start of work, they were aware of the specificity of the child who would they help in the classroom.Assistants also answered the questions related to the cooperation with child’s teachers and parents and questions related to the problems they have encountered during their work with the child. The study was conducted on a sample of 14 respondents, or teaching assistants, in 3 primary schools in Varaždin and Čakovec. Results of the study show that teaching assistants are mostly young and highly educated people. Furthermore, most of the assistants knew, prior to beginning of work with the child, what kind of disability the child has. They evaluate assistant's education as useful and, as some of the experienced difficulties, they state the lack of professional literature and support groups in which they would exchange experiences with other assistants.
