Sažetak
The importance of parents and teachers as social factors in the child development has again brought to our attention the value system of adults. Value systems - implicit pedagogies (set of individual value orientations including general values, child's understanding, child development and educational goals) are social and cultural determiners of educational practice of adults. Play has an extremely important place in the parent and teacher central value orientations about a child, child development and child rearing. Adult beliefs about play, its developmental role determine the quality and degree of their responsiveness and sensibility to a child as well as the way of playing (place, time, toys, co-players, interventions...). Including a pre-school child into an institutional educational context presupposes that parents and pre-school teachers possess knowledge about continuity and/or discontinuity of implicit pedagogies. The variable for establishing the continuity is the level of harmony between parents' and pre-school teachers' beliefs about the nature of play, its developmental value and the ways of conducting it. We surveyed the value system of parents and teachers about the above-mentioned aspects of play on the level of their beliefs. The sample consists of 30 parents, 30 pre-school teachers and 30 future teachers (students). Children's answers (30 children, aged 5-6) helped us to understand children's understanding of play, how children perceive the interaction with adults during play, enabling us to make comparisons with adults' beliefs.
