| Abstract | Cilj ovog završnog rada je analizirati koja je uloga igre u razvoju djece rane i predškolske dobi odnosno, istražiti na koji način igra utječe na djecu, njihov cjelokupni razvoj i život općenito tijekom ranog i predškolskog razdoblja. S obzirom da ne postoji jedna univerzalna definicija, danas igra objašnjava se raznim terminima kao što su aktivnost, metoda, proces, potreba, način ponašanja ili sredstvo odgoja. Važno je naglasiti kako igra, uz odgojno i terapijsko djelovanje, ima iznimno važnu i pedagošku vrijednost. Unatoč njenoj šarolikosti i multifunkcionalnosti, čemu svjedoče i razne klasifikacije te vrste igara, igra je jedna od temeljnih potreba svakog djeteta. Čini sastavni dio njegova odrastanja te omogućuje djetetu skladan tjelesni, kognitivni, emocionalni i socijalni razvoj. Igra djece rane i predškolske dobi proizlazi iz njihovih unutrašnjih potreba te predstavlja prerađenu stvarnost u skladu s njihovim doživljajima. Tijekom rane i predškolske dobi, dijete se igrajući razvija, izražava, spoznaje sebe i svoju okolinu, zadovoljava svoju povećanu potrebu za druženjem, gradi odnosne s drugima te razvija i unaprjeđuje vještine svih aspekata razvoja. Razvoj, učenje i rad djece rane i predškolske dobi bit će uspješniji ako se odvijaju putem igre ili sadrže elemente igre. Dijete slijedi svoju koncepciju i zamišljeni tijek igre, a sukladno razvoju, njegove igre postaju složenije. Jedno od obilježja igre je i stvaralačko obilježje odnosno, igra ima važnu ulogu u poticanju i razvijanju dječjeg stvaralaštva za što je bitno pružiti priliku djeci da budu autentični, da imaju slobodu stvaranja i izražavanja te slobodu izbora u kontekstu same igre. Igra predstavlja najvažniji posao djece rane i predškolske dobi, a u njemu mu mogu pomoći roditelji i odgajatelji na način da ne upravljaju igrom već da budu ravnopravni sudionici poštujući djetetov integritet. |
