Knowing about the profession of carpenter and woodworking in kindergarden

摘要

This degree dissertation discusses about wood as an important natural material, which is, despite the widespread use of plastic returning to everyday life. I have decided to write about usage of wood in the kindergarten, because of shortage of these kinds of books.udIn the theoretical part of degree dissertation I presented the type of wood and joiner's hand tools, while in the empirical part I made the questionnaire (survey) about knowledge of kids about wood and joiner's hand tools. The results were carefully reviewed and considered actual situation of the knowledge of kids. By visiting the joiner, we learned about new profession, joiner's hand tools, wood and its processing. udThrough activities children learned additional knowledge. After the end of activities I made again the questionnaire (survey) about their knowledge, which showed that children have progressed significantly in this field.udThe children were very curious, hard-working, resourceful and creative. Through knowing the profession of joiner, wood and joiner's hand tools, they have formed a relationship to technology, organization of work, precision, order, and developed social skills to participate in identifying and resolving problem situations.udThey appreciated their products and used them at play. Through activities they have gained a lot of knowledge that is why I think we should offer them such activities more often, so they could find solutions with their own effort and broaden their knowledge. ud
