Igra in učenje predšolskega otroka
25. 1. 2017
9.00 - 17.00
V storilnostno naravnanem svetu (pomembni so produkti, številke, cilji) pogosto zanemarjamo spontano igro predšolskega otroka kot njegove optimalne učne izkušnje. Preko igre se otrok poveže sam s seboj, s svojim notranjim svetom doživetij, domišljije, čustev ter lastnih izkušenj. Igra predstavlja tudi preventivni dejavnik pred otroško depresijo in drugimi psihičnimi težavami otrok (čustvenimi izbruhi, nemirom, motnjami pozornosti ipd.) ter omogoča zdrav celosten razvoj otroka.
Igra ima pomembno vlogo pri učenju predšolskega otroka na različnih področjih:
- čustveni razvoj otroka (zadovoljstvo, povezanost, sprostitev, samo izražanje, zmanjševanje tesnobe, samozavest, samopodoba);
- kognitivni razvoj otroka (kreativnost, domišljija, reševanje problemov, perspektivno mišljenje, usvajanje novih konceptov);
- socialni razvoj otroka (komunikacijske veščine, sodelovanje, deljenje, reševanje konfliktov, vodenje, podrejanje);
- fizični razvoj (groba in fina motorika, moč, vztrajnost);
- razvoj govora (besedni zaklad, komunikacijske veščine, pripovedovanje zgodb, aktivno poslušanje, opismenjevanje).
