The play as the implement of knowledge and development of the pre-school child
PALEČKOVÁ, Jiřina
In my bachelor´s work I am concerned with play activity and it´s development, characteristics, fundamental and meaning in preschool education. I am concerned with various selection of playing and with creation of optimal conditions for the playing. One of the most important part of playing are various toys and other play equipment. I observe child´s playing from two points of view. First as the child´s evaluation activity which means what the playing brings and how the activity develops the child´s personality. At the same time I deal with possibilities that the playing provides to the teacher to learn more about the child and to be able to understand the child better. I am interested in the meaning of the term free playing or playing as an investment of love or how it is possible to use playing in educational diagnostics and therapy. The theoretical knowledge is followed by the practical part which involves result analysis of the study of children´s playing. Using observation I compare how children play in a heterogenous group and group of children at different ages. It means what sort of toys they use most often and if they are able to cope with rules and respect each other and what way they use to solve conflict situations while enjoying group playing. I note if they play apart or if they have need to play with the others, to comunicate with them, to win recognition or if they are passive during playing and submit to the ideas of the others and let the others have the upper hand. Another research, in form of questionnaire for the teachers and parents, finds out how children play at home in their free time and how not only teachers but parents themselves view such playing and if they realize its naturalism and usefulness and its therapeutic signification.
