The purpose of this article is to put focus on food and meal situation in the kindergarten. We have carried out a case study in two kindergartens and the data material consists of observations and ...interviews. The results showed that the physical structures such as the food and drink offer, structural facilities and the physical community are important for the food and meal provision in the kindergarten. The provision of food and drink varied between the two cases, this can be explained by how the kindergartens organized the preparation of the meal. Emphasis of the dining environment was different in the two cases, which in turn created a different atmosphere around the meal. It was also different practices whether the staff ate together with the children or not. When the staff ate the same food as the children, the meals were in a greater extent characterized by the adults' needs, including increased demands on hygiene, more delicate garnished food, greater food selection and the increased focus on the dining environment. The distance to the nearest grocery store had little impact, while on the other hand, cooperation with food suppliers had great importance for food and meal provision in the kindergarten.Sammendrag: Case studien har sett på fysiske faktorer som kan hemme eller fremme muligheter for helsefremmende handling i barnehagen. Resultatene viste at mattilbudet i barnehagen var påvirket av hva som tilbys av mat/drikke, bygningsmessige fasiliteter og det fysiske nærmiljøet. Barnehagene hadde ulik praksis med å spise med barna. Når voksne spiser samme maten som barna, ser det ut som måltidene blir formet etter voksnes behov. Som økt krav til hygiene, at maten er delikat servert, større matvareutvalg og økt krav til trivelig spisemiljø. Nærhet til butikk hadde liten betydning, mens derimot samarbeid med grossister for levering av matvarer, hadde stor betydning for mattilbudet i barnehagen.
The aim of the article is to show how the philosophy of the multi-dialogical kindergarten is put into practice. The article presents a case study which demonstrates children's participation in ...planning and guidance of kindergarten activities. It illustrates how attentiveness on the part of the kindergarten teacher leads to the development of the learning content on the basis of the interests of the child. Attentiveness is fundamental to the multi-dialogical approach. The result is peer study in which the children learn to provide and accept feedback. All of these are elements of the multi-dialogical approach in kindergartens.
This article examines the educational concepts that were pursued for the benefit of underprivileged children in the era of the New Education Movement. Children's rights in Japanese modernity, as ...represented by the struggle to apply New Education principles to underprivileged children, are contrasted with the conventional view of childhood in the Japanese tradition. The crucial piece of legal reform that first established children's rights, the Reformatory Law of 1900, is found to derive mostly from a mix of American science and metaphysics based on Japanised Christianity.
U radu se afirmira potreba cjelovitog odgoja i naobrazbe u segmentu ranog i predškolskog odgoja i obrazovanja u Republici Hrvatskoj, a posebno se ukazuje na potrebu doprinosa vjerskog odgoja djece ...navedene dobi. Mogućnosti provođenja vjerskog programa razmatraju se s obzirom na pravni okvir i dostupne kvantitativne podatke. Potom se posebno iznose temeljne postavke odgojnog djelovanja Katoličke Crkve i religiozno-pedagoški koncept na kojem se temelje odgojno-obrazovni planovi vjerskog odgoja, čiji se doprinos ne opravdava isključivo pravnim osnovama, nego i iz znanstvenih krugova. U svrhu boljeg doprinosa ističu se na kraju tri izazova s kojima se treba suočiti koji se odnose na formaciju odgojitelja u vjeri, osvješćivanje javnosti i osnaženje odgojne suradnje između svih relevantnih čimbenika.
Važnost partnerstva roditelja i dječjeg vrtića neupitna je te postoje mnoga istraživanja i radovi koji se bave pitanjem suradnje roditelja i odgajatelja (Chan i Ritchie, 2016; Kanjić i Boneta, 2012; ...Vlah i Tatalović Vorkapić, 2011). Međutim, manji je broj istraživanja koja ukazuju na percepciju roditeljskog zadovoljstva određenim elementima dječjeg vrtića, što je svakako važan prediktor kvalitetnog partnerstva, kako u sadašnjosti tako i u budućnosti. U skladu s tim cilj je ovog istraživanja bio utvrditi u kojoj su mjeri roditelji zadovoljni pojedinim elementima rada dječjeg vrtića i koji su razlozi upisa djeteta u dječji vrtić. U istraživanju su sudjelovali roditelji (N=132) djece rane i predškolske dobi koja su polaznici dječjih vrtića čiji su osnivači lokalne jedinice u Međimurskoj županiji.
Rezultati ukazuju na to kako su roditelji uglavnom zadovoljni dječjim vrtićem, a kao razloge upisa djeteta u odgojno-obrazovnu ustanovu procjenjuju one koji se odnose na socijalni i emocionalni razvoj djeteta.
A questionnaire study was performed to identify the possible influence of a mother's attitude to a good diet and her feeling of fulfillment in life on mother-child communication at meal times. The ...participants were mothers with children in the senior class of kindergarten, and kindergarten teachers. The children each drew a picture of their favorite meal at home. A causal model was established, in which the mother's experience of meal time in her childhood was an exogenous variable and the present state of communication with her child was the dependent variable. Those children who did not communicate well with their mothers were less interested in eating and less vigorous in daily life, and tended to have problems with friends. The mothers who did not communicate well with their children tended to not to lead a fulfilling life and had undesirable ideas about meal times. Moreover, their childhood experience at meal times was not pleasant.
