20.500.12556/DKUM-35875 A hidden curriculum in kindergartens and empathy of preschool teachers The present article illustrates the problem of a hidden curriculum in kindergartens. It is presented as an important part of the overt curriculum. The empathy of kindergarten teachers is shown within the scope of a hidden curriculum. The second part discusses the results of the research on empathy of preschool teachers as an important element of the hidden curriculum in kindergartens. Four dimensions of empathy were identified: social self-confi dence, calmness, sensitivity and non-conformism. Each of these dimensions contributes on its own and together with the others to a better understanding of empathy of kindergarten teachers, which undoubtedly influences and encourages the development of emphatic communication among preschool teachers, children and parents. pre-school education curriculum kindergartens hidden curricula empathy preschool teachers predšolska vzgoja kurikulum vrtci skriti kurikulum empatija vzgojiteljice true true true Faculty of education Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2012-06-07 12:32:00 2012-06-07 12:32:00 2025-04-11 11:32:16 2021-04-15 03:35:41 2007 0 Olomouc 2007 str. 60-75 št. 1 Vol. 7 2007 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 373.2.016 15704072 1213-7758 URN:SI:UM:DK:2HICOX1M https://epedagogium.upol.cz/en/artkey/epd-200701-0007.php?l=en 0 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=46903 Pedagoška fakulteta 0 0 0
