Friendship As a Determinant of Supporting an Inclusive Approach in Kindergarten

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to introduce the concept of "friendship" that promotes socialization and personalization of a child in the kindergarten environment. We attach great importance to the area due to the amended Educational Act currently in the Czech Republic (1. 9. 2016) focusing on the implementation of inclusion into a real school setting. In this paper we focus on the structuring of internalization on the basis of activities for children and their behavior. Presented issues are based on the results of applied research, which was applied a qualitative approach. For the data collection was used extensive research method such as the structured interview with open-ended answers that interpersonal contact with children of preschool age enables. On the basis of this explorative tool we found answers that were recorded and evaluated in the categorization process. The interview was focused on answering five questions related to the friendship of emphasis on joint activities, satisfy their needs and strengthen their own status.
