Creativity and implementation of creative music workshops in classroom teaching
No full textMnogi se stručnjaci ne mogu složiti oko samog značenja ovog uvelike apstraktnog pojma, no među svim definicijama može se vidjeti paralela. Kada je riječ o definiranju pojma kreativnosti, riječ je o mogućnosti osmišljavanja višestrukih rješenja i ideja koji proizlaze iz zadane problematike ili zadataka. Mada je pojam apstraktan, u školstvu poprima sve važnije značenje. Utjecaj kreativnosti prepoznat je u ovome području i upravo zbog toga je novi kurikulum otvoreniji i fleksibilniji (Blažević, 2015, str. 120). Zbog ovoga sve je važnije korištenje kreativnih radionica unutar nastave jer kreativan pristup, ne samo da ima pozitivan utjecaj na stjecanje znanja, motoričkih i empatijskih vještina kod djece, nego i onih psiholoških. Upravo je to dokazano i istraživanjem unutar ovoga rada u kojemu su djeca osnovnoškolske dobi sudjelovala u 10 kreativnih glazbenih radionica. Sve su radionice imale drukčiji pristup, okolinu i zadatke, no sve su ujedno donijele i više nego pozitivne rezultate i time dokazale samu važnost barem povremenog korištenja kreativnog pristupa u nastavi kao što su kreativne radionice.A lot of experts can't come to a unanimous conclusion to the definition of this abstract term, but in all of the wast definitions, we can gather a conclusive parallel. When we are defining the term creativity, we are talking about the ability to devise multiple solutions and ideas that arise from a certain problem or task. Although the term is abstract, it is becoming more important in the educational system. The influence of creativity has been recognized in this field and because of that the new curriculum has become more open and flexible (Blažević, 2015, str. 120). Because of this, the use of creative workshops has become increasingly important, not only because they have a positive influence on gaining knowledge, motoric, and emphatic skills in children, but also the positive impact on their psyche. This point is proven in the research conducted in this thesis where there were 10 creative musical workshops conducted with elementary school students. All of the workshops had a different approach, space, and tasks, but all of them brought more than positive results and, with that, proved the importance of the, at least partial, use of creative workshops in teaching
The role of media in GMO issues in Croatia
No full textTema ovog rada su genetički modificirani usjevi i način na koji ih mediji eksponiraju točnije kako njihova percepcija utječe na javnost. U radu se genetički modificirani usjevi prikazuju kao bioetički problem upravo zbog svog utjecaja na ljudsko zdravlje, društvo i okoliš. 'Zlatna riža' koja se pojavila i predstavila kao rješenje gladi u svijetu i spas od visoke stope smrtnosti i sljepoće apsolutno nije ispunila svoja očekivanja čime je u potpunosti opravdala sumnje protivnika. U radu se spominju Monsanto, vodeća svjetska korporacija koja proizvodi genetički modificirano sjeme i njegove afere s poljoprivrednicima kojima je pod svaku cijenu htio stati na kraj. Opisan je početak bioetike u Hrvatskoj i istaknuta su tri važna dokumenta koji su ujedno obilježila početak borbe za Hrvatsku slobodnu od GMO-a. To su Apel za etičko i zakonsko uređenje, Lošinjska Deklaracije o biotičkom suverenitetu te Lošinjska izjava za Hrvatsku bez GMO-a. Navedeno je i trenutno stanje biotehnologije i genetičkog inženjerstva u Hrvatskoj, možemo li pronaći GMO proizvode na našim policama i što nalaže zakonska regulacija o proizvodnima čiji je udio GMO-a veći od 0,9%. Predstavljen je način na koji protivnici i zagovornici GMO-a putem medija oblikuju javnu percepciju. Dok protivnici naglašavaju rizik i apeliraju na oprez, zagovornici ističu prednosti GMO-a. Najveći je naglasak u radu na analiziranju tiskovnih medija Glasa Slavonije, Jutarnjeg i Večernjeg lista te 24sata s ciljem razumijevanja kako izvještavanje o GMO usjevima utječe na javnost te uzrokuje li njihova percepcija strah i nesigurnost.The topic of this paper is genetically modified crops, how the media presents them, and, more specifically, how this influences the public. The paper presents genetically modified crops as a bioethical problem precisely because they affect human health, society, and the environment. The “Golden Rice Project”, presented as a solution to world hunger and high mortality rates, did not meet the expectations and justified its opponents' suspicions. The paper mentions Monsanto, one of the world’s leading companies producing genetically modified crops, and the affairs of farmers that the company wanted to end by all means necessary. The beginnings of bioethics in Croatia are described, and three critical documents that marked the start of the battle for the Republic of Croatia, which is free of GMOs, are pointed out. The documents are the Appeal for Ethical and Legal Regulation, Lošinj Declaration on Bioethics Sovereignty, and Lošinj Statement for Croatia free of GMOs. The paper deals with the current state of biotechnology and genetic engineering in Croatia, researches if we can find GMO products on the shelves of our shops, and what is required by the law when it comes to products whose GMO content exceeds 0.9%. The way that opponents and representatives of GMOs form public opinion through the media is presented. While the opponents stress the risks and call upon caution, the representatives emphasise the advantages of GMOs. The paper focuses on the analysis of the printed media “Glas Slavonije”, “Jutarnji list”, “Večernji list”, and “24 sata” to understand how the reporting of GMO crops affects the public and if their perception causes fear and uncertainty
A dog - a pet, family member and best friend
No full textOvaj diplomski rad obrađuje temu pasa kao kućnih ljubimaca, životinja koje su prihvaćene kao dio obitelji i smatraju se čovjekovim najboljim prijateljima. Ciljevi ovog rada su otkriti učestalost posjedovanja psa kao kućnog ljubimca, uvidjeti njegov utjecaj na emocionalno i psihičko zdravlje članova obitelji kojoj pripada, saznati kako pas pomaže osobama s fizičkim ili psihičkim poteškoćama, analizirati najčešće odgovornosti članova obitelji vezano uz brigu za psa te istražiti utjecaj posjedovanja psa kao kućnog ljubimca na količinu vremena provedenog na otvorenom i njegov utjecaj na socijalni život ispitanika. Pas je životinja koja se kroz povijest pripitomljavala i na poslijetku postala toliko privržna ljudima da je danas potpuno normalno doživljavati je kao dio obitelji. Psi su potomci vukova, opasnih životinja, samostalnih lovaca, što je vidljivo u psećem obliku tijela i brzini koju posjeduju. Danas razlikujemo mnogo pasmina pasa, od najmanjih psića čupave dlake koji teže 1 kilogram, preko pasa koji nemaju dlaku, sve do najvećih pasa, duge ili kratke dlake, koji mogu težiti i do 90 kilograma. U ovom radu predstavljen je sam početak pojave pasa, objašnjene su njihove anatomske i fiziološke karakteristike, njihov karakter i ponašanja, uspostava veze s ljudima i njihov utjecaj na život čovjeka. Neki su psi samo ljubimci, prave društvo svojim ljudima i pružaju im ljubav, podršku, utjehu, dok su neki i više od toga. Pas je životinja koja zahvaljujući svom karakteru može obavljati dužnosti u javnim službama poput policije i vojske, ali i pružati pomoć u rehabilitacije potrebitih osoba.This thesis deals with the topic of dogs as pets, animals that are accepted as part of the family and are considered man's best friends. The goals of this work are to find out the frequency of owning a dog as a pet, to see its impact on the emotional and psychological health of the family members to which it belongs, to find out how the dog helps people with physical or mental difficulties, to analyze the most common responsibilities of family members regarding the care of a dog, and to investigate the impact of ownership a dog as a pet on the amount of time spent outdoors and its impact on the social life of the respondents. The dog is an animal that was domesticated throughout history and eventually became so attached to people that today it is completely normal to see it as part of the family. Dogs are descendants of wolves, dangerous animals, independent hunters, which is visible in the dog's body shape and the speed they possess. Today, we distinguish many breeds of dogs, from the smallest dogs with shaggy hair that weigh 1 kilogram, to dogs that have no hair, all the way to the largest dogs, with long or short hair, that can weigh up to 90 kilograms. In this paper, the very beginning of the appearance of dogs is presented, their anatomical and physiological characteristics, their character and behavior, the establishment of a relationship with people and their influence on human life are explained. Some dogs are just pets, they keep their people company and provide them with love, support, comfort, while some are more than that. A dog is an animal that, thanks to its character, can perform duties in public services such as the police and the army, but also provide assistance in the rehabilitation of needy persons
The role of literary meetings with writers in fostering the love of literature in lower-primary school students
No full textDa bi dijete naučilo čitati, potrebno je proći kroz nekoliko koraka kako bi se njegov mozak prilagodio tom procesu. Promatranje drugih ljudi koji čitaju može djetetu dati dojam da je čitanje društveno prihvatljivo i poželjno, ali samo promatranje nije dovoljno da dijete počne čitati. Proces osnovnog čitanja predstavlja prvi i ključni korak prema daljnjem obrazovanju i životnim uspjesima. Tijekom ove faze važno je identificirati sve moguće poteškoće koje učenik može imati i pravovremeno na njih reagirati. Svako dijete ima pravo na razumijevanje pročitanog. Ako se problemi s osnovnim čitanjem ne prepoznaju na vrijeme, dijete će zaostajati u sustavu koji od njega očekuje napredak, što će mu biti teško postići. Stoga je ključno razumjeti kako mozak usvaja vještine za koje nije prirodno predisponiran, odnosno kako ga učimo čitati. U obrazovanju često zaboravljamo osnovnu svrhu čitanja. Učenici često nauče gradivo, dobiju ocjene, a potom ga brzo zaborave. Mnoge definicije prolaze kroz um učenika, mnoga znanja se usvoje i zatim izgube. Čitanje ne bi smjelo biti jedna od tih prolaznih definicija. Čitamo kako bismo stjecali znanje, informirali se i saznali mnogo toga u raznim područjima. Čitanje se smatra osnovom svegaTo teach a child to read, it is necessary to go through several steps to adapt their brain to this process. Observing others reading can give the child the impression that reading is socially acceptable and desirable, but mere observation is not sufficient to initiate reading. The process of basic reading represents the first and crucial step towards further education and life successes. During this phase, it is important to identify all possible difficulties the student may have and to react to them promptly. Every child has the right to understand what they read. If problems with basic reading are not recognized in time, the child will lag behind in a system that expects progress from them, which will be difficult to achieve. Therefore, it is crucial to understand how the brain acquires skills that are not naturally predisposed, namely how we teach it to read. In education, we often forget the fundamental purpose of reading. Students often learn material, receive grades, and then quickly forget it. Many definitions pass through the student's mind, much knowledge is acquired and then lost. Reading should not be one of those passing definitions. We read to gain knowledge, to inform ourselves, and to learn many things in various fields. Reading is considered the foundation of everything
Plato and eugenics
No full textIako se o Platonovom osobnom životu ne zna previše, možemo sa sigurnošću reći kako je on jedan od najvećih filozofa svih vremena. Jedno od najčuvenijih i najvećih Platonovih djela zasigurno je Država. Kronološki gledano, djelo Država spada u Platonove spise zreloga doba. Upravo jedna od najranijih rasprava o eugenici potječe iz Platonove "Države". Prikazuje kako bi izgledao pravedan grad-država. Platon u svom radu predlaže namještenu lutriju kako bi nadređenim članovima vladajuće klase - zvanim "čuvari" - dao veću priliku za razmnožavanje. Potomstvo onih koji se smatraju "inferiornima" tada bi "službenici potajno odveli i gotovo sigurno ostavili da umru, zajedno s vidljivo neispravnim potomcima viših skrbnika." Upravo taj dio Platonove filozofije možemo usporediti sa eugeničkom sterilizacijom. Predmet ovog rada je Platonova filozofija i utjecaj njegovih učenja i djela na eugeniku tijekom povijesti sve do današnjeg dana. Platonov i ostali eugenički programi podudaraju se u nekoliko elemenata provođenja. Programi imaju ključnu ulogu u ostvarivanju ciljeva države, odnosno njezinih vladara, no postoje i različitosti između njih, a najveća se očituje u samom cilju. Cilj Platonove eugenike bio je postizanje pravednosti, intelektualnog i moralnog savršenstva, dok je nacistička eugenika težila očuvanju „čistog“ arijskog društva putem različitih rasnih i bioloških, ali nehumanih mjera.Although not much is known about Plato's personal life, we can safely say that he is one of the greatest philosophers of all time. One of Plato's most famous and significant works is The State. Chronologically speaking, the work States belongs to Plato's writings of the mature age. One of the earliest discussions of eugenics comes from Plato's "State". It shows what a just city-state would look like. In his work, Plato proposes a rigged lottery to give superior ruling class members - called "guardians" - a more significant opportunity to reproduce. The offspring of those deemed "inferior" would then "be secretly taken away by the officials and almost certainly left to die, along with the visibly defective offspring of the superior guardians." This part of Plato's philosophy can be compared to eugenic sterilisation. The subject of this paper is Plato's philosophy and the influence of his teachings and works on eugenics throughout history up to the present day. Plato's and other eugenics programs coincide in several elements of implementation. Programs have a crucial role in achieving the goals assigned to the state, that is, to its rulers, but there are also differences between them, the biggest of which is manifested in the goal itself. The goal of Plato's eugenics was to achieve justice, and intellectual and moral perfection, while Nazi eugenics aimed to preserve a "pure" Aryan society through various racial and biological but inhumane measures
Flute in working with children of nursery age
No full textKod djece rane i predškolske dobi glazba ima značajnu ulogu u poticanju cjelokupnog razvoja, pa bi se glazbene aktivnosti trebale izvoditi svakodnevno. Iako se metodičko oblikovanje glazbenih aktivnosti uglavnom poučava za djecu vrtićke dobi, to ne znači da djeca jasličke dobi ne trebaju imati glazbene aktivnosti. Pri tome, ukoliko odgojitelj ima vještinu sviranja još nekog instrumenta, osim uobičajenog klavira i sintesajzera, bilo bi dobro uključiti i taj instrument u rad s djecom. Flauta je instrument koji ima veliku povijesnu važnost, a i danas je popularan instrument kojeg djeca rado izabiru prilikom upisa u glazbenu školu. Zbog osobnog posjedovanja vještine sviranja flaute, autorica u ovom radu istražuje na koji način se flauta može uključiti u glazbene aktivnosti u specifičnim uvjetima rada u jasličkoj skupini djece. Istraživanje je provedeno analizom dostupne literature o temi te akcijskim istraživanjem u predškolskoj ustanovi grada Slavonskog Broda, Dječji vrtić „Potjeh“, podcentar „Palunko“ u kojem su u jasličkoj skupini „Loptice“ provedene glazbene aktivnosti korištenjem instrumenta flaute.For children of early and preschool age, music plays a significant role in stimulating overall development, so musical activities should be performed daily. Although the methodological structuring of musical activities is mainly taught for kindergarten-aged children, this does not mean that younger children should not have musical activities. Moreover, if the teacher possesses the skill of playing another instrument besides the usual piano and synthesizer, it would be beneficial to include that instrument in work with the children. The flute is an instrument with great historical importance and remains a popular choice among children enrolling in music school. Due to the author's personal skill in playing the flute, this paper explores how the flute can be incorporated into musical activities in the specific working conditions of a nursery group. The research was conducted through an analysis of the available literature on the topic and action research in the preschool institution of the city of Slavonski Brod, the "Potjeh" Kindergarten, "Palunko" sub-center, where musical activities were conducted using the flute in the "Loptice" nursery group
The role of parents in the development of children`s emotional self-regulation
No full textU ovom radu govori se o razvoju djetetovih emocija, regulaciji emocija i privrženosti te utjecaju roditelja na emocionalni razvoj djeteta. Obitelj, kao temeljna jedinica društva, ima ključnu ulogu u djetetovom razvoju, pružajući mu pažnju, ljubav i podršku kroz cijeli proces odrastanja. Zbog toga se roditeljstvo smatra jednim od najzahtjevnijih zadataka s kojima se pojedinac suočava. Kako bismo bolje razumjeli emocionalni razvoj, važno je osvijestiti ulogu emocija koje su od presudne važnosti za funkcioniranje svakog pojedinca te prepoznati značaj empatije, samosvijesti i privrženosti. Osim toga, bitno je razmotriti i utjecaj različitih odgojnih stilova, kao i ostalih čimbenika koji oblikuju emocionalni razvoj.This paper discusses the development of a child's emotions, emotion regulation, attachment and the impact of parents on the child's emotional development. The family, as the fundamental unit of societx, plays a crucial role in a child's development by providing attention, love and support throughout the entire process of growing up. For this reason, parenting is considered one of the most challenging tasks an individual can face. To better understand emotional development, it is important to recognize the role of emotions, which are vital for the functioning of every individual, and to acknowledge the significance of empathy, self-awareness, and attachment. Additionally, it is essential to consider the influence f different parenting styles and sther factors that shape emotional development
The role of pets in the development of empathy in preschool children
No full textCilj ovog rada je istraživanje ključnih uloga koju kućni ljubimci imaju u razvoju dječje empatije. Kućni ljubimci važan su dio djetetova života, utječu na njegov opći razvoj, a posebno na razvoj empatije – sposobnosti prepoznavanja i razumijevanja emocija drugih te reagiranja na način prilagođen tim emocijama. Kroz interakciju sa životinjama djeca uče brinuti za druga živa bića, što pogoduje razvoju suosjećanja, empatije, strpljenja i odgovornosti. Ova interakcija pozitivno utječe i na socijalno ponašanje djece, smanjujući pojavu agresivnog ponašanja i potičući razvoj vještina poput suradnje, dijeljenja i grupnog rada. Životinje svojom prisutnošću djetetu mogu pružiti osjećaj sigurnosti i podrške, što dodatno potiče razvoj emocionalne stabilnosti i empatije. U radu se analizira kako različite vrste kućnih ljubimaca mogu pridonijeti tim procesima te se istražuje kako se te pozitivne promjene očituju u svakodnevnim interakcijama djece s vršnjacima i odraslima. Posebna pozornost posvetit će se istraživanju kako prisutnost životinja u domaćem okruženju oblikuje buduće odnose i socijalne vještine djeteta te kako životinje mogu poslužiti kao katalizator emocionalnog i socijalnog razvoja djece općenito. Rad će također uključivati praktične savjete za roditelje o tome kako maksimalno iskoristiti potencijal životinja u razvijanju empatije kod djece.The aim of this paper is to explore the key roles that pets play in the development of children's empathy. Pets are an important part of a child's life, influencing their overall development, particularly the development of empathy—the ability to recognize and understand the emotions of others and to respond in ways that are appropriate to those emotions. Through interaction with animals, children learn to care for other living beings, which fosters the development of compassion, empathy, patience, and responsibility. This interaction also positively impacts children's social behavior by reducing aggressive behavior and promoting the development of skills such as cooperation, sharing, and teamwork. The presence of animals can provide children with a sense of security and support, further encouraging the development of emotional stability and empathy. The paper analyzes how different types of pets can contribute to these processes and explores how these positive changes manifest in children's everyday interactions with peers and adults. Special attention will be given to examining how the presence of animals in the home environment shapes a child's future relationships and social skills, as well as how animals can serve as catalysts for children's emotional and social development in general. The paper will also include practical advice for parents and on how to maximize the potential of animals in fostering empathy in children
Encouraging the sensitivity of preschool children for sustainable development through water conservation
No full textPoticanje dječje osjetljivosti za očuvanje vode odvija se kao potpuni proces u sklopu ekološke znanosti i praćenja održivog razvoja. Vrlo je važno pratiti i razvijati svijest o stanju kvalitete vode u Hrvatskoj te svjesno voditi brigu o očuvanju vode. Djeca imaju izniman kapacitet i volju da shvate važnost očuvanja vode te da uče o važnosti održivog razvoja. Projektna nastava je model u kojem se najbolje uči i dobiva uvid u važnost očuvanja vode te stječe iskustvo o očuvanju vode. U ovom se radu proučava važnost vode i stanje vode u svijetu i Hrvatskoj, važnost održivog razvoja i izravnog utjecaja održivog razvoja na očuvanje vode te pedagoške metode i uvid u procese očuvanja vode u dječjim vrtićima. Ova je tema obilna i zahvalna u smislu da djeca mogu mnogo toga naučiti i upotrebljavati u budućem životu.Encouraging children's sensitivity to water conservation takes place as a complete process within ecological science and monitoring sustainable development. It is very important to monitor and develop awareness of the state of water quality in Croatia, and to consciously take care of water conservation. Children have an exceptional capacity and will to understand the importance of water conservation, and the importance of learning about sustainable development. Project classes are the best way to learn and gain insight into the importance of water conservation, and to gain experience in water conservation. This paper studies the importance of water and the state of water in the world and in Croatia, the importance of sustainable development and the direct impact of sustainable development on water conservation, as well as pedagogical methods and insight into water conservation processes in kindergartens. This topic is extremely rich and rewarding in the sense that children can learn a lot and use it in their future life
The relationship between emotional competence and artistic creativity
No full textEmocionalna inteligencija skup je osobina koje uključuju upoznavanje vlastitih emocija, upravljanje emocijama, motiviranje samoga sebe, prepoznavanje emocija u drugima te uspješno snalaženje u vezama. Osobine koje određuju emocionalnu inteligenciju preduvjet su za razvijanje emocionalnih vještina, odnosno emocionalne kompetencije. Posjedovanje emocionalne kompetencije važan je faktor za postizanje uspjeha u različitim područjima života, a prakticiranje umjetničkih aktivnosti može unaprijediti razvoj emocionalne kompetencije. Cilj ovog istraživanja je na temelju pregleda relevantne literature, dosadašnjih istraživanja te rezultata provedene ankete utvrditi postoji li veza između emocionalne kompetencije i likovnog stvaralaštva studenata Učiteljskog studija na Fakultetu za odgojne i obrazovne znanosti u Osijeku. Kvantitativnim istraživanjem, provedenim s pomoću online ankete na studentima svih godina Učiteljskog studija u Osijeku, utvrđena je djelomična povezanost između emocionalne kompetencije i likovnog stvaralaštva. Odnosno, rezultati istraživanja pokazali su kako studenti koji prakticiraju likovne aktivnosti tijekom slobodnog vremena nemaju značajno veću razinu emocionalne kompetencije od studenata koji ne prakticiraju likovne aktivnosti tijekom slobodnog vremena. Ipak, utvrđeno je kako studenti koji su izrazili da često prakticiraju likovne aktivnosti tijekom slobodnog vremena imaju značajno veću razinu emocionalne kompetencije od onih studenata koji su izrazili da rijetko prakticiraju likovne aktivnosti tijekom slobodnog vremena.Emotional intelligence is a set of traits that includes self-awareness of one's emotions, managing emotions, self-motivation, recognizing emotions in others, and successfully navigating relationships. The traits that define emotional intelligence are prerequisites for developing emotional skills, also known as emotional competence. Possessing emotional competence is an important factor in achieving success in various areas of life, and engaging in artistic activities can enhance the development of emotional competence. This study aimed to determine whether there is a connection between emotional competence and students' artistic creativity in the Teacher Education program at the Faculty of Education in Osijek. The study was based on a review of relevant literature, previous research, and the survey results. A quantitative study was conducted using an online survey among students of all academic years in the Teacher Education program in Osijek, which revealed a partial correlation between emotional competence and artistic creativity. Specifically, the research results indicated that students who engage in artistic activities in their free time do not have a significantly higher level of emotional competence than those who do not engage in artistic activities in their free time. However, it was found that students who frequently engage in artistic activities during their free time have a significantly higher level of emotional competence than those who reported rarely engaging in such activities
