20.500.12556/DiRROS-23092 Evaluation of a multilingual kindergarten model in Slovenia insights from teachers, parents and children This paper presents an in-depth evaluation of a Multilingual Kindergarten Model (MU-KI Koper) developed in Slovenia aimed at integrating pluralistic approaches to language learning into early childhood education. The model activities were carried out over a period of nine months. The data were collected through focus group discussions with parents and in-service preschool teachers engaged in the implementation of the model, an online questionnaire for parents and through semi-structured interviews with the children (aged 5-6) involved in the model implementation. We explored the efficacy of the model by focusing on the following categories: the suitability and perception of effectiveness of the activities in meeting the needs of the pre-school curriculum in the area of developing multilingual competences, the children’s response to the programme, and the parents’ expectations and their feedback on meeting their expectations regarding the implementation of the model. The findings reveal that the Multilingual Kindergarten Model effectively supports children’s cognitive, linguistic and affective development through age- and developmentally-appropriate activities, while fostering early language awareness, positive attitudes towards languages and cultural curiosity. pluralistic approaches multilingual kindergarten model quality of early childhood education plurilingual competences inclusion pluralistični pristopi model večjezičnega vrtca kakovost predšolske vzgoje raznojezične kompetence inkluzija true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2025-07-24 10:26:41 2025-07-24 10:26:41 2025-10-24 03:53:08 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 3. 4. 2025; str. 166-184 no. 64/1 2025 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-01-01 373.22:81'246.3 2545-3971 10.14746/n.2025.64.1.10 231224323 https://pressto.amu.edu.pl/index.php/n/article/view/44267 1 edefe2d1-6867-11f0-9bb7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=33845 RAZ_Zefran_Mojca_2025.pdf RAZ_Zefran_Mojca_2025.pdf 1 42F3938DB843FAB3D8B1B06149E29EEA a8a8d8a0fe52fedf5157d33321500c9d117db202b21178de840e338cd7a83a48 050d93fe-6868-11f0-9bb7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=33846 Pedagoški inštitut 0 0 0
