The Stories of Podblanicko in the Preschool Education
BURDOVÁ, Jana
The content of my bachelor´s thesis is the theoretical and follow-up practical adaptation of the tales of Podblanicko region in a preschool education. In the introduction of my thesis I will shortly introduce you to the essential moments of the Blaník region´s countryside history, but primarily the oral events and characteristics of the village Louňovice pod Blaníkem, which immediately concern chosen topic. Understanding the wider context of this region is necessary for effective and high-quality work with children. Environmental education in the kindergarten is essential and initial in the countryside of the protected area Blaník. It is an everyday part of the life of all local citizens and children. For the life here to be well-rounded, meaningful and culturally advanced, it is necessary to attract an interest in children from an early age and create a healthy relationship to this place. The knowledges and values, which are acquired by the children, are based on their own experiences with the local culture and biotopes. When working with children I bulit on what they already know, what is natural to them, and only then I try to connect with all, even the individuals of this group by learning of experience and adventure pedagogy. The motivation of children to various activities always corresponds with both the traditions of the local cultural society and the tales themselves. The goal of the education of a preschool children is learning the values important for this region. I guide children to their own responsibility of their action considering the countryside or particular biotopes, but also the togetherness with the surrounding. During some educational activities the cooperation with the local societies, associations and organizations is necessary and this is how the non-violent and natural connection of the mentioned organizations and the life in school is going on. The healthy community of people of different age groups and different interests forms this way. They all have one common goal, that is to keep and preserve the local beautiful nature and cultural wealth for the next generations.
