Razumevanje pomena optimalnega prehoda otrok v 1. razred nujno vključuje ugotavljanje različne stopnje razvoja, potreb in izkušenj posameznega otroka ter, v skladu s formativnimi načeli, upoštevanje teh ugotovitev pri načrtovanju individualiziranega dela v 1. razredu. O otrokovi pripravljenosti na šolo in prilagajanju v 1. razredu naj strokovni delavec pridobiva informacije iz različnih virov, med drugim tudi od otrokovih staršev, ki si v tem času zelo želijo izmenjave informacij o svojem otroku v šoli. Nenadomestljive pa so informacije o otroku, ki jih strokovni delavec pridobi iz neposrednega stika s posameznim otrokom, ko mu zagotovi dovolj časa in prostora, da se aktivno odzove, odrasli pa opazuje, spodbuja in s svojo odnosno kompetenco vzpostavlja sprejemajoč odnos z otrokom. Eden izmed takšnih uspešnih primerov iz prakse je pogovor z otrokom ob pregledovanju njegova portfolia (iz vrtca) ali druge zbirke izdelkov in risb otroka. Odrasli lahko pridobi pomembne informacije o otroku z opazovanjem njegove igre.
Abstract
Children’s Transition to Primary School
By understanding the importance of children’s optimal transition to the first grade we should determine the different stages of individual child’s development, needs and experience, and, in accordance with formative principles, consider the findings when planning individualized lessons for the first grade. School professionals should also gather information about child’s readiness for transition to primary school and adaptation to the first grade from the child’s parents, who in that period are very keen on exchanging information about their child with school. Irreplaceable information about the child are gained by school professional through direct contact with the child, after giving the child enough time and space for them to actively respond, while the adult only observes, encourages, and sets up accepting relationship with the child through relational competence. An example of successful practice is talking to the child while looking through their portfolio (from kindergarten) or some other collection of their drawings and other creations. Adults are also able to acquire many important information about the child by mere observation of their play.
