Polona Legvart je učiteljica razrednega pouka v prvem vzgojno-izobraževalnem obdobju na OŠ bratov Polančičev v Mariboru. V številnih razvojnih nalogah, projektih in skupinah sodeluje z Zavodom RS za šolstvo. Z veliko osebne angažiranosti, pedagoškim raziskovanjem in stalnim iskanjem globljega razumevanja učenja močno vpliva na razvoj pedagoške prakse tako znotraj šole kakor tudi izven nje. Posebno področje njenega zanimanja je učno okolje v najširšem smislu. Svoj poklic vidi v širšem kontekstu kot je le razred, zato je učitelj raziskovalec lastne prakse, je kritična in obenem prinaša sveže predloge in ideje v pedagoški prostor.
Abstract
An Interview with Polona Legvart, the winner of the Blaž Kumerdej Award
Polona Legvart is a teacher of the first educational period at the OŠ bratov Polančičev primary school in Maribor. She collaborates with the National Education Institute Slovenia on many development tasks and projects, and is also a member of many of its teams. Through strong personal engagement, pedagogical research and constant search of in-depth understanding of learning she is strongly influencing the development of pedagogical practice within as well as outside the school. She is especially interested in the learning environment in the broadest possible sense. According to her understanding, a teacher’s profession by far extends the classroom walls, which is why teachers should be constantly researching their own practices, and while being critical she also keeps bringing in fresh suggestions and ideas to the pedagogical sphere.
