Qualitative research on the development of social skills of children preschool age through dramatic work with text
DOLEJŠÍ, Jana
The aim of my thesis is to concentrate on the development of social skills of children of pre-school age using the method of dramatic work with text. The beginning of the theoretic part is based on developmental conceptions of personality of well-known authors. I also pay attention to emotions. Not only because they are separate subject of my research but they also strongly influence surveyed social skills. The theoretical part is completed with description of socialization process and drama teaching. In the methodological part I try to clarify the method of grounded theory which is based on participant observation, semi-constructed interviews and individual levels of coding. The practical part is based on literary text which mainly serves as inspiration for dramatic creativity. At the same time it deliberately opens space for reflection on social relationships, conflicts and emotions in it. The way children interpret described social phenomena and their confrontation with their own experience, both of these are my source of information about personalities of surveyed children and especially the degree of development of their social skills. All this helps to regulate my other educational interventions. Dramatic creativity, which is elaborated in several parts, is described in detail. In the introduction it always characterizes its intent and in the end it evaluates surveyed social skills of individuals or groups. At the end of my thesis there is a total summary based on the conclusions of individual dramatic creativity and continuously conducted interviews.
