Journal Title: Edukacyjna Analiza Transakcyjna - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue
Abstract
Aggression is a phenomenon which accompanies humans throughout their lives. It takes a specific form and plays a special role during the pre-school stage. On the one hand, aggression is the result of children’s lack of ability to cope with a problem, on the other hand, it creates a possibility to diagnose and support emotional and social development. The aim of the article is to present theoretical and empirical analysis of the phenomenon of aggression, as well as ways of preventing and eliminating aggressive behaviour of preschoolers. The first part introduces a theoretical background of the problem, methods and results are presented in the second part of the article. A document analysis, desk research and logical analysis are the main research methods. Results of external evaluation of kindergartens have been examined. The article attempts to answer two following research questions: How do kindergarten teachers prevent aggression among children? What are teachers’ reactions to children’s aggressive behaviour? The results of the research show that most actions that are undertaken to prevent aggression involve reinforcement of, positive behaviour. What is more teachers have problems with reacting to children’s aggression. The results may contribute to improving teacher training in order to raise teachers’ self-confidence and skills in that field. Aggressive behaviour of preschoolers is an important scientific and educational issue. A knowledgeable reaction and skilful counteraction may be decisive for a child’s emotional and social development.
