Povzetek

V kolikor nam je znano so v Srbiji, kot tudi drugje, animirani filmi, narejeni z namenom osvajanja in učenja matematičnih konceptov za predšolske otroke v vrtcih, še nepoznani. Model animiranega filma, ki smo ga razvili, ima za svoj cilj uvedbo več didaktičnih možnosti za učiteljevo delo, s katerim naj bi se otroci seznanili z in se naučili uporabe modernih medijev in novih pristopov k učenju ter jim omogočili interaktivno učno izkušnjo, ki spodbuja otroško funkcionalno mišljenje.

Ključne besede: animirani film, inovativni didaktični model interaktivnega učnega gradiva, neposredna manipulacija z animacijo, razvoj funkcionalnega mišljenja, računalnik
