Komunikacija vaspitača sa roditeljima i decom tokom pandemije
Communication of Preschool Teachers with Parents and Children During the Pandemic

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the results of the communication relations of preschool teachers with parents and children during the COVID-19 pandemic. The theoretical part presents the importance of cooperative relations between preschool teachers and parents, the increasing use of ICT and the ways in which preschool teachers communicate with parents and children during distance education. The empirical part presents the results of a survey conducted on a sample of100 preschool education professionals from all over Slovenia. The research approach was descriptive and causal-non-experimental methods of pedagogical research were applied. The data collection was carried out through an anonymous survey questionnaire and analysed with descriptive statistics using the SPSS program. The key findings of the research showed thatmost respondents attribute significant importance to communication and cooperation with parents. However, there are also some for whom these relationships are not necessary. Preschool teachers most often communicated with children once or twice a month. At the same time, they point out that this way of interaction with children is inadequate and incomparable to live interaction. An interesting conclusion is that preschool teachers continue to communicate with parents in similar ways as before the pandemic, with increased communication via phone conversations, e-mail and the kindergarten's website. The pandemic has changed the way of pedagogical communication to a way of reducing the personal approach, which can be problematic in the process of raising and educating preschool children
