| Abstract | Pogled na dijete i na dječji razvoj mijenjao se kroz povijest. U prošlosti djeca nisu imala
zakonom zajamčena prava te nisu postojali društveni interesi za njihovu zaštitu. Dječja prava
počela su se razvijati tijekom 19. stoljeća te su s vremenom i zakonski regulirana. U svrhu
promicanja dječjih prava te osiguravanja najboljih uvjeta za rast, razvoj i učenje djeteta,
Ujedinjeni narodi izdali su dokumente Deklaracija o pravima djeteta (1959) te Konvencija o
pravima djeteta (1989).
Konvencija o pravima djeteta (1989) međunarodni je dokument koji detaljno opisuje
prava svakog djeteta koja države članice moraju poštivati i omogućiti svakom djetetu. Najčešća
podjela prava je na prava preživljavanja, razvojna prava, prava sudjelovanja i zaštitna prava.
Vrtić, kao ustanova predškolskog odgoja i obrazovanja, idealno je mjesto gdje dijete
ima mogućnost naučiti, ali i uživati svoja prava. Kako bi dijete uistinu naučilo, prepoznalo i
primijenilo svoja prava, važnu ulogu ima upravo odgojitelj u vrtiću koje dijete pohađa. Biti
odgojitelj vrlo je važna i odgovorna uloga koja zahtjeva stalno stručno usavršavanje,
kontinuirano učenje i razvijanje vlastitih kompetencija, a posebice, onih vezanih za promociju
i poštivanje dječjih prava. |
| Abstract (english) | Throughout history the outlook on growth of a child has changed. In the past children
had no rights guaranteed by law and the society in general showed no interest in protecting
them. Children's rights began to develop in the 19th century, and with time they were regulated
by law. To promote rights of the child and to secure the best possible conditions for the growth,
development, and education of children the United Nations have issued special documents:
Declaration on the Rights of the Child (1959), and the Convention on the Rights of the Child
(1989).
The Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989) is an international document that
describes, in detail, the rights of each child that member states should respect and grant.
Usually, those rights are classified as the right to survival, to development, to participation and
to protection.
Kindergarten, as an institution of pre-school education and upbringing, is an ideal place
where a child is given opportunity to learn about his rights, and to enjoy them. A kindergarten
educator is a person with an important role in making a child truly learn, recognize, and apply
his rights. To be an educator is a significant and responsible role that implies constant
professional training, continuous learning and developing of one's own competences,
particularly those focusing on promotion and protection of children's rights. |
