Suvremeni pogledi na kulturu partnerstva vrtića i škole

A partnership is not a starting point for interrelationships, instead, it is a process that marks a comprehensive, processual and contextual view of relationships based on the mutual recognition and sharing of common goals for the benefit of a child. Although both preschool and primary school teachers are aware of the importance of the kindergarten-school- family partnership, the existing pedagogical practices show that they have certain expectations or attitudes, and sometimes even myths or misconceptions about parents, which badly influences the development and improvement of partnerships. Preschool and primary school teachers whose attitudes are positive, successfully initiate partnerships with partners and together they build a collaborative atmosphere and culture of the institution. This research investigated attitudes and opinions of primary school and preschool teachers regarding the most effective forms of collaboration with parents, as well as possible difficulties in establishing collaboration and suggestions for improving collaboration with parents. Participants of the research conducted for the purposes of this paper were preschool teachers (N-110) and primary school teachers (N-110) from the area of Sisak and Petrinja
