3. Professional competences of preschool teachers for working with gifted young children in SloveniaSonja Čotar Konrad, Mojca Kukanja-Gabrijelčič, 2015, original scientific article Abstract: Recognizing giftedness in young preschool children presents an important challenge to all educators. Because giftedness needs nurturing, the aim of the research was to emphasize the importance of gifted children's right to adequate educational opportunities, which will stimulate the optimal development of their potentials. In order to achieve the latter, appropriately qualified preschool teachers are needed, in both diagnostic (the identification of the preschool gifted children) and educational field. The main purpose of the study (N=180) was to analyse professional qualifications and attitudes of preschool teachers in the area of identifying and working with gifted children from age 2 to age 6. The non-experimental causal method was used. The results of the research in Slovenia show the following problems: preschool teachers are inadequately informed about the issues concerning working with gifted children; they tend to have low self-competence in identifying personal characteristics of gifted children and in the appropriate use of teaching strategies when working with them; they stress the necessity for further education and professional training in the field of gifted children education.

Subjective theories and main problems of preschool teacher working with gifted childMojca Kukanja-Gabrijelčič, 2016, original scientific article Abstract: In this paper, main problems regarding preschool teacher's subjective theories, problems and professional development in working with gifted children are presented. The results of the empirical research show the following problems: preschool teachers are inadequately informed about the issues concerning identifying and working with gifted young children; they tend to have low self-competence in identifying personal characteristics of gifted children and in the appropriate use of teaching strategies when working with gifted children; they stress the necessity for further education and professional training in the field of gifted children education. In addition to various possibilities of further education and in-service training, there are some issues that should be arranged on the national level, e. g.: empowering preschool teachers; providing teaching materials, teaching aids and special - didactic recommendations; shorter training workshops and others Keywords: nadarjeni otroci, vzgojitelji, strokovna (ne)usposobljenost, težave, subjektivne teorije Published in RUP: 08.08.2016; Views: 3282; Downloads: 481 Link to full text |
5. Model spodbujanja rezilientnosti v šolskem okoljuVanja Riccarda Kiswarday, 2014, original scientific article Abstract: Teorija rezilientnosti preučuje dejavnike, ki večajo učinkovitost posameznika pri preseganju ovir, ki se v obdobju odraščanja povezujejo s šolanjem. Spodbujanje razvoja rezilientnosti je najučinkovitejše, ko poteka neposredno prek izkustvenega učenja. Literatura kot ključne dejavnike izpostavlja: vključujoče, varno in skrbno učno okolje, ki postavlja realno visoka pričakovanja, zagotavlja ustrezno pomoč in podporo, razvija vseživljenjske kompetence ter omogoča samostojno in aktivno participacijo. Te dejavnike poudarjajo tudi sodobna didaktično-metodična načela, zato nas je zanimalo, v kolikšni meri rezilientnost v šoli spodbujajo slovenski učitelji, čeprav s teorijo rezilientnosti niso seznanjeni. Oblikovali smo Model spodbujanja rezilientnosti v šolskem okolju in ga evalvirali na vzorcu 429 učiteljev različnih strokovnih profilov.
