The image of the child and the role of pedagogical specialists<\/strong><\/p>\n

Children are born discoverers, inventors and researchers, who deal with their environment in an active and creative way.\u00a0From birth onwards they observe and analyse very closely.\u00a0Their findings and conclusions form the basis for their understanding of their environment and of themselves. They pursue their interests in a curious and committed way and, in doing so, develop more and more complex and effective cognitive strategies and competences.\u00a0Children are able to and want to take responsibility for their own lives.<\/p>\n

In order to be able to develop appropriate coping strategies in challenging life situations, the child needs primarily supportive reference persons.\u00a0Continuous, appreciative relationships during childhood, the experience of autonomy and safety and of comfort and self-efficacy enable the child to enter into reliable and emotionally open relationships later in life, and these have a positive effect on the child’s entire educational and developmental process.\u00a0Parents, specialists and teachers, attachment figures, children and adults, help the child understand the world.\u00a0They offer the child an experiential space, pose challenges, ensure conditions and fulfil an important function as a role model.\u00a0At the German International School in Doha, we enter into a relationship with children in our daily work that is marked by a climate of appreciation and trust. We pay attention to their needs and interests.<\/p>\n

Principles of educational processes in the kindergarten of the German International School Doha
\n<\/strong>The implementation of our educational programmes is based on the principles listed below :<\/p>\n

Holistic approach and learning with all senses:<\/strong>\u00a0Learning is a holistic process involving body and mind.\u00a0Holistic education processes are geared to the overall personality of children by addressing their senses as well as their socio-emotional, cognitive and motoric skills.<\/p>\n

Individualization:<\/strong>\u00a0Each child is unique in its developing personality, its social and cultural background, its needs and learning potential and its developmental pace.\u00a0In terms of individualization, the right of every child to learn in his or her own special way and in his or her own rhythm is taken seriously.\u00a0The individual learning requirements of each child is determined through systematic observation and documentation and becomes the starting point of the planning and execution of educational offers.<\/p>\n

Differentiation:<\/strong>\u00a0Differentiation drives our presentation of educational opportunities in everyday life, providing different forms of learning and to the layout of education resources employed.\u00a0We take each child’s individual talents, abilities and interests into account.<\/p>\n

Lifeworld orientation:<\/strong>\u00a0Children have different kinds of life experiences and learning experiences.\u00a0Educational processes that relate to these kinds of experiences motivate children to engage in autonomous learning.\u00a0New information can be linked with something known or familiar to help reinforce the educational processes.<\/p>\n

Diversity:<\/strong>\u00a0Diversity refers to individual differences such as\u00a0gender, skin colour, ethnicity and social origin.\u00a0The encounter with diversity is a prerequisite for the openness to deal critically with prejudices.<\/p>\n

Participation:<\/strong>\u00a0 Participation in kindergarten means that children take part in the decision-making process at various levels of every-day life in kindergarten.\u00a0Kindergarten teachers take the wishes, interests and ideas of children seriously.\u00a0Children are involved in the planning of activities and in the formulation of rules.<\/p>\n

Transparency:<\/strong>\u00a0The transparent design of educational activity aims at making the complexity of educational practice more transparent and easier to understand for parents and the public.\u00a0As far as the work with children is concerned, transparency means that intentions and correlations become transparent.<\/p>\n

Learning partnership:<\/strong>\u00a0These are cooperative relations between the kindergarten of the German International School Doha and the families of the children as well as with external experts.\u00a0Our aim is to jointly create a learning- and development-friendly environment for the benefit of every child.<\/p>\n
