Abstract | Kao posljedica razvoja digitalne tehnologije, bilježi se značajan porast interesa za digitalnom tehnologijom u predškolskom obrazovanju. Djeca današnjice odrastaju u okruženju sofisticirane tehnologije, što zahtijeva promjenu pristupa u procesima učenja, odgoja i obrazovanja. Predškolske ustanove suočavaju se s transformacijom koja nezaustavljivo prožima svakodnevni život djece predškolske dobi. Odgojitelj mora posjedovati digitalne kompetencije kako bi integrirao digitalne tehnologije i alate u neposredan odgojno–obrazovni rad tijekom planiranja, promatranja, vrednovanja i dokumentiranja procesa učenja djece predškolske dobi. U odgojiteljskoj praksi često se postavljaju mnogobrojna pitanja koja se odnose na rad s djecom u digitalnom okruženju te na komunikaciju i suradnju s roditeljima. Roditelji, kao primarni odgojitelji, imaju presudnu ulogu u formiranju iskustava svoje djece s digitalnim medijima. Ovaj rad pridonosi sveobuhvatnom razumijevanju kompleksnosti integracije digitalne tehnologije u predškolskoj ustanovi, naglašavajući nužnost prilagodbe odgojno-obrazovnih pristupa suvremenim zahtjevima digitalne ere. Korištenje kvalitetnih digitalnih alata u odgojno-obrazovnom radu unapređuje kvalitetu odgoja i obrazovanja djece, jer se značajno obogaćuje iskustvo učenja djece, podupirući istovremeno njihov razvoj na raznim poljima. U suradnji s roditeljima potrebno je osigurati sigurnosti i privatnost djece, što su i ključni aspekti etičkog kodeksa. Usmjeravanjem djeteta prilikom korištenja tehnologije, mogu se spriječiti potencijalne opasnosti. Prepoznajemo važnost cjeloživotnog učenja odgojitelja te edukaciju roditelja, kako bi se uspješno nosili sa stalnim promjenama u tehnologiji. Ovo nije krajnje odredište, već početak putovanja prema stalnom usavršavanju, dijalogu i prilagodbi, s ciljem stvaranja obrazovnog okruženja koje najbolje odražava potrebe djece u digitalnom dobu. |
Abstract (english) | As a result of the development of digital technology, there has been a significant increase in interest in digital technology in preschool education. Today, children are growing up in an environment of sophisticated technology, which requires a change in approach to the processes of learning, upbringing, and education. Preschool institutions are facing a transformation that permeates the daily lives of preschool children. Educators must possess digital competencies to integrate digital technologies and tools into immediate educational work during planning, observation, evaluation, and documentation of the learning processes of preschool children. In educational practice, numerous questions often arise regarding working with children in a digital environment and communication and collaboration with parents. Parents, as primary educators, play a crucial role in shaping their children's experiences with digital media. This work contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the complexity of integrating digital technology into preschool institutions, emphasizing the necessity of adapting educational approaches to the contemporary demands of the digital era. The use of high-quality digital tools in educational work enhances the quality of children's education, significantly enriching their learning experience and simultaneously supporting their development in various fields. In collaboration with parents, it is necessary to ensure the safety and privacy of children, which are key aspects of the ethical code. By guiding children in the use of technology, potential dangers can be prevented. Recognizing the importance of lifelong learning for educators and parent education is crucial to successfully dealing with constant changes in technology. This is not the final destination but the beginning of a journey towards continuous improvement, dialogue, and adaptation, with the goal of creating an educational environment that best reflects the needs of children in the digital age. |
