Sažetak
Research aims Presuming the child’s right to be educated, as well as the fact that the parents are responsible for the child’s development and education, it is clear that the institutions for early and pre-school education need to establish satisfactory cooperation in the relationships with the children’s families. Relationship to previous research works Developments in the modern world reflects on methods, forms and quality of the cooperation established between teachers and family. Researches indicate that a good cooperation between the institutions and the family are a prerequisite for the child's academic and social success. Theoretical and conceptual framework Although the Convention on the Rights of the Child underlines parents as primary responsible for the education and development of the child, educational institutions need to support the parents in this endeavour. The responsibility for a satisfactory cooperation is shared also by the teachers who have the opportunity and responsibility to cooperate with the parents on daily basis. Paradigm, methodology and methods A research conducted on 67 teachers (N=80) of the Čakovec nursery school has given an insight into the self-evaluation of the teacher’s competences. Ethical Considerations Does teachers competent to take this kind of responsibility? Main finding or discussion The results of the research exhibit interesting evaluations – the teachers feel competent for the cooperation with the parents but at the same time find this segment of their professional work the most stressful. Implications, practice or policy Although the sample is too small to derive general conclusions, it is possible to repeat the research on a bigger population and based on the results, prepare a formal and non-formal education in this area.
