Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to provide students with a systematic overview of the development, genre structures and functions of literature for preschool children in the context of national and world literature. Attention is given to both traditional forms (folk and original fairy tales, poetry, the story with a child hero) and contemporary production including illustration, visual stylization, and interdisciplinary overlaps (e.g., bibliotherapy, educational functions, multimedia adaptations). Students will also learn the basic principles of evaluating the quality of children's literature, current trends in literary production and reception by the target audience of preschoolers. Emphasis is placed on the interpretation of texts, working with them in pedagogical practice, and promoting preliteracy.
Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to: describe the development and specifics of children's literature in a broader cultural and historical context; explain the functions and genre forms of literature for preschool children; identify key authors and works of Czech and world literature for children; analyse and interpret an artistic text with regard to the age needs and aesthetic level of the target group; evaluate contemporary book and magazine production in terms of its quality, thematic and artistic diversity; create didactic material to promote reading literacy; reflect on the potential of children's literature as an educational, therapeutic and aesthetic tool.
