Deviations from Standard Croatian Language in Animated Movie Hello Kitty
No full textHrvatski je jezik podlijegao utjecaju raznih tuđica, ponajviše anglizama, koji postupno prevladavaju u hrvatskom jeziku. Samim je time sve teže postići jezični purizam. Isti je problem zastupljen kako u pisanom tako i u govornom obliku u koji se ubrajaju i mediji. S obzirom na to da su mladi danas pod iznimnim utjecajem medija, predmet je ovoga završnog rada upravo otklon od hrvatskoga standardnog jezika u crtanom filmu. Cilj je bio utvrditi postoji li otklon i na kojim se normativnim razinama javlja. Istraživanje je provedeno analizom pet epizoda crtića Hello Kitty. Ovaj je rad podijeljen na dva ključna dijela. Prvi dio govori o crtanom filmu, jezičnom razvoju djeteta te o utjecaju medija na njega, dok drugi dio rada obuhvaća upravo istraživački dio i njegove rezultate.Linguistic purism is a growing and present problem today. The Croatian language has been influenced by various foreign languages, mostly English, which little by little prevails in the Croatian language. The same problem is hidden both in written form and in spoken form, which includes the media. As the proverb says, the young shall inherit the world, and young people today are under the exceptional influence of the media, so the subject of this final thesis is precisely the departure from the standard Croatian language in cartoons. The goal was to determine whether there is a deviation and at which normative levels it occurs. The research was conducted by analyzing five episodes of the Hello Kitty cartoon. This paper can be divided into two key parts. The first part talks about the cartoon, the language development of the child and the influence of the media on it. While the second part includes the research and its results
Availability of media in spatial-material environment of kindergartens
No full textMediji tijekom povijesti postaju sve razvijeniji i dostupniji, a čovjekov se život počinje oslanjati na svakodnevnu uporabu medija u svrhu komunikacije, informiranja i zabave. Kroz svoje razne funkcije i vrste, mediji su obuhvatili i razne generacije samim time i djecu najmlađe dobi. Djeca se prilagođavaju svijetu u kojem žive te jednostavno prihvaćaju medije koji su im dostupni stoga postaje važan utjecaj medija na djecu te kako djeca razumiju i koriste medije. Medijskim se odgojem pokušava steći medijska pismenost i kompetencije potrebne u ovladavanju medijima. U radu se prezentiraju karakteristike medija koje čine veliki utjecaj na dijete rane i predškolske dobi. Nadalje, ističe se značaj medijskog odgoja i sve veća potreba za njegovim uvođenjem u odgojno-obrazovni sustav. Veliku ulogu u djetetovu životu imaju roditelji i dječji vrtić stoga se u radu iznose bitne značajke njihovih mogućih djelovanja i utjecaja u razvoju dječjih medijskih znanja i navika. Cilj je rada istaknuti važnost medijskog odgoja u dječjem vrtiću te istražiti dostupnost medija u gradskom, privatnom i alternativnom dječjem vrtiću u Osijeku. Istraživanje je pokazalo da su odgojiteljima dostupni tiskani i elektronički mediji, no tiskani su dostupniji te postoje razlike u dostupnosti s obzirom na vrstu dječjeg vrtića. Istraživanje se nadovezuje na prijašnja i ističe kao bitnu značajku u medijskom odgoju opremljenost medijima kojom bi se pružile veće mogućnosti u stvaranju poticajnog okruženja.Media have become increasingly developed and accessible throughout history, and human life has come to rely on the daily use of media for communication, information, and entertainment. Through their various functions and types, media have encompassed different generations, including the youngest children. Children adapt to the world they live in and readily accept the media available to them, therefore the influence of media on children and how children understand and use media becomes important. Media education aims to acquire media literacy and competencies necessary for mastering media. This paper presents the characteristics of media that have a significant impact on children in their early and preschool years. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of media education and the growing need for its integration into the educational system. Parents and kindergarten play a significant role in a child's life, therefore the paper outlines important features of their potential actions and influences on the development of children's media knowledge and habits. The aim of this paper is to highlight the importance of media education in kindergarten and explore the availability of media in urban, private, and alternative kindergartens in Osijek. The research has shown that educators have access to print and electronic media, with print media being more accessible, and there are differences in availability depending on the type of kindergarten. This research builds upon previous studies and highlights the equipment of the media as an important feature in media education which would provide greater opportunities in promoting a stimulating learning environment
Replacing plastic with sustainable natural and packaging solutions in kindergarten
No full textOvaj diplomski rad rezultat je promišljanja o utjecaju korištenja gotovih industrijskih i plastičnih materijala na zdravlje djece kao i na utjecaj razvoja njihove kreativnosti u aktivnostima. Isto tako, nastojala sam kroz akcijsko istraživanje osvijestiti djecu o važnosti njihove uloge u očuvanju i promicanju održivog razvoja. U uvodnom dijelu diplomskog rada nastojala sam objasniti količinu štetnosti plastike na zdravlje ljudi i na sam okoliš. Potom, utjecaj i dobrobit korištenja prirodnih materijala u dječjem okruženju kao sredstvo najboljeg utjecaja na razvoj kreativnosti, razvijanja mašte, postignuća, samostalnosti i kritičkog prosuđivanja. I na samom kraju, prikazala sam primjer dobre prakse kroz provođenje akcijskog istraživanja s djecom u 5 i 6. godini života s ciljem da osvijestim djecu o štetnosti korištenja plastičnih sadržaja u prostoru koji ih okružuje te poticanju na uporabu održivih oblikovanih i neoblikovanih prirodnih materijala u svakom segmentu njihovog razvojnog djelovanja.This graduation thesis is the result of reflection on the impact of the use of ready-made industrial and plastic materials on children's health, as well as on the impact of the development of their creativity in activities. Likewise, through action research, I tried to make children aware of the importance of their role in preserving and promoting sustainable development. In the introductory part of the diploma thesis, I tried to explain the amount of harmfulness of plastic to human health and the environment itself. Then, the influence and benefit of using natural materials in the children's environment as a means of the best influence on the development of creativity, developing imagination, achievement, independence and critical judgment. And at the very end, I presented an example of good practice through the implementation of action research with children in the 6th year of life with the aim of making children aware of the harmfulness of using plastic materials in the space that surrounds them and encouraging the use of sustainable shaped and unshaped natural materials in every segment of their development activity
Preschool Educators and Parents as Co-Creators of the Learning Community
No full textObitelj i dječji vrtić predstavljaju dvije najvažnije zajednice u djetetovom ranom djetinjstvu i predškolskoj dobi. Partnerski odnos tih dviju zajednica jedan je od glavnih preduvjeta ostvarivanja dobrobiti za dijete te za postizanje kvalitete odgojno-obrazovnog procesa. Takav odnos se ostvaruje različitim modalitetima suradnje, a odgovornost za pokretanje, organizaciju i provedbu suradničkih odnosa snose odgojitelji, dio je njihovog profesionalnog djelovanja, dok njezino ostvarenje ovisi o roditeljima te njihovim privatnim, poslovnim i obiteljskim mogućnostima. U okviru rada provedeno je akcijsko istraživanje sa roditeljima jedne odgojne skupine s ciljem poticanja suradničkih i partnerskih odnosa roditelja i odgojitelja te izgradnje njihove zajednice učenja. Planirane i provedene akcije bili su različiti modaliteti suradnje kojima su roditelji i odgojitelji jačali svoj odnos, ostvarivali komunikaciju, osnaživali svoje kompetencije. Kroz istraživanje vidljive su promjene u odnosu roditelja i odgojitelja, komunikacija je otvorenija i kvalitetnija, a roditelji su zainteresirani za daljnju suradnju i njezino unaprjeđivanje, aktivniji su i sami iniciraju suradnju.The family and the kindergarten represent the two most important communities in the child's early childhood and preschool age. The partnership between these two communities is one of the main prerequisites for achieving the child's well-being and for achieving the quality of the educational process. Such a relationship is achieved through different modalities of cooperation and the responsibility for initiating, organizing and implementing collaborative relationships lies with educators, as it is part of their professional activities, while its realization depends on parents and their private, business and family opportunities. As part of this thesis, an action research was conducted with the parents of one educational group with the aim of encouraging collaborative and partnership relations between parents and educators and building their learning community. Planned and implemented actions were different modalities of cooperation by which parents and educators strengthened their relationship, communication and competences. Through research, changes in the relationship between parents and educators are visible, communication is more open and of better quality. Parents are interested in further cooperation and its improvement, they are more active and initiate cooperation themselves
Development of future teachers' awareness of the protection of personal data on the Internet
No full textBudući da tehnologija svakodnevno napreduje, napredovale su i spoznaje o mogućnostima i načinima zlouporabe osobnih podataka. Koliko god su zaštićeni zakonima Republike Hrvatske i državnim tijelima, osobni podaci nikada nisu u potpunosti sigurni. Svakodnevno se koriste, prikupljaju i obrađuju, kako u svakodnevnom, tako i u virtualnom svijetu. Način na koji će se obrađivati i pravila očuvanja osobnih podataka svih ljudi, također su zakonom određeni. Jednu od najvećih opasnosti predstavljaju osobe koje, na razne načine, pokušavaju izvršiti kriminalne radnje nad drugim osobama i njihovim osobnim podacima. Kibernetički su napadi sve češća pojava na internetu. Djeca, ali i odrasli, mogu biti ugroženi i na stranicama koje ne osiguravaju privatnost, gdje mogu objaviti važne podatke koji mogu biti zloupotrijebljeni. U ovom radu daje se definicija pojma osobni podaci te se opisuju načini njihova korištenja na internetu, ali se navode i zakoni koji ih štite u Republici Hrvatskoj. Također, navode se opasnosti koje mogu naštetiti osobnim podacima te načini zaštite istih. Nadalje, opisani su rezultati provedenog istraživanja o razvijenosti svijesti budućih učitelja o zaštiti osobnih podataka na internetu. Istraživanje je provedeno pomoću upitnika kojeg su popunili studenti (101 student) Učiteljskog studija u Osijeku. Dobiveni rezultati pokazuju da je većina budućih učitelja svjesna opasnosti te većina smatra da njihovi podaci nisu sigurni na internetu. Rezultati pokazuju i to da 55,4 % budućih učitelja smatra da posjeduje dovoljno saznanja i kompetencija za podučavanje učenika nižih razreda osnovne škole o zaštiti osobnih podataka na internetu.With technological progress, knowledge about the possibilities and ways of misuse of personal data has advanced. As much as they are protected by the laws of the Republic of Croatia and state authorities, personal data are never completely safe. They are used, collected and processed every day, both in the everyday and in the virtual world. The manner in which it will be processed and the rules for preserving the personal data of all people are also determined by law. One of the greatest dangers is represented by people who, in various ways, try to commit criminal acts against other people and their personal data. Cyber attacks are an increasingly common phenomenon on the Internet. Children, as well as adults, can be at risk on sites that do not ensure privacy, where they can publish important information that can be misused. This paper provides a definition of the term personal data, describes the ways of their use on the Internet and the laws that protect them in the Republic of Croatia. Dangers that can harm personal data and ways to protect them are also listed. Furthermore, the results of the conducted research on the development of future teachers' awareness of the protection of personal data on the Internet are described. The research was conducted using a questionnaire that was filled out by 101 students of the Teacher Training College in Osijek. The obtained results show that the majority of future teachers are aware of the danger, and most believe that their data is not safe on the Internet. The results also show that 55.4% of future teachers believe that they have sufficient knowledge and competence to teach elementary school students about personal data protection on the Internet
Teacher's views on the application of art therapy in elementary school
No full textDiplomski rad naziva Stavovi učitelja o primjeni art-terapije u osnovnoj škola započinje definicijom art-terapije i povijesnim pregledom njezinog razvoja. Art-terapija razvila se iz prepoznavanja terapijskih učinaka umjetnosti i likovnog izražavanja. Prema definiciji art-terapija oblik je psihoterapije koja koristi stvaralački likovni proces kao sredstvo i oblik komunikacije. Art terapeuti Sveučilišni su specijalisti art-terapije osposobljeni za samostalni rad. U diplomskom radu detaljno su opisane osobine koje svaki art terapeut treba imati. Također, opisani su oblici rada u art-terapiji i pristupi koji se u art-terapiji koriste. Cilj ovog diplomskog rada bio je ispitati stavove učitelja o primjeni art-terapije u osnovnoj školi u svrhu doprinosa razvoju socijalnih i komunikacijskih vještina učenika. Istraživanje je provedeno u obliku polustrukturiranog intervjua u šest osnovnih škola na području grada Osijeka i obuhvatilo je 40 učitelja razredne nastave. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su koliko su učitelji upoznati s pojmom art-terapije i koji su njihovi stavovi o uvođenju i zapošljavanju art terapeuta u osnovnim školama. Također, rezultati su potvrdili da art-terapija nije dovoljno istraženo područje na prostoru Republike Hrvatske, ali da učitelji vide potrebu i mogućnost njezinog uvođenja u odgoj i obrazovanje. S obzirom da se istraživanje provodilo u osnovnim školama, osim općenitih specifičnosti art-terapije i njezine široke primjene, fokus je bio na art-terapiji i njezinoj primjeni u radu s djecom. U okviru diplomskog rada navedene su prednosti i nedostatci uvođenja art-terapije u osnovne škole.The master thesis: Teachers views on the application of art therapy in elementary school begins with a definition of art therapy and historical overview of art therapy development.

The aim of this thesis was to examine teachers views on the application of art therapy in elementary school for the purpose of contibute to the development of studnets social and communication skills. The research was conducted in the form of semi-structured interview in six elementary schools in Osijek and included 40 teachers of primary education. The results of the research showed how familiar the teachers are with art therapy and what are their views about the introduction and employment of art therapists in schools. Also, the results confirmed that art therapy isn't enough researched in Croatia, but that teachers see the need and the possibility of its introduction into education. Because the research was conducted in elementary schools, apart from general specifics of art therapy and its wide application, the focus of the thesis was on art therapy and its application in working with children. As part of the work, the advantages and disadvantages of introduction art therapy into elementary schools are listed
The connection between eating habbits and body mass index in preschool children
No full textCilj ovog završnog rada je istražiti utjecaj prehrambenih navika djece predškolske dobi i uvidjeti kako one utječu na indeks tjelesne mase (ITM). Izračunavanjem indeksa mase tijela (ITM) te postotka indeksa tjelesne mase (%ITM) procijenili smo stanje uhranjenosti djece te uvidjeli utjecaj prehrambenih navika djece. Pravilna prehrana u fazi rasta i razvoja je bitna jer može spriječiti većinu kroničnih bolesti u kasnijoj dobi. Bitno je kod djece razviti pozitivne prehrambene navike i zdrav stil života kroz svakodnevne tjelesne aktivnosti kako bi im omogućili kvalitetne uvjete za rast i razvoj. Pametan izbor i dosljednost u prehrambenim navikama kod kuće može imati dugoročan odnos na dobrobit djece. Pozitivno ojačavanje može ih motivirati da nastave s dobrim prehrambenim navikama. Dijete koje dobiva podršku od obitelji i okoline u promicanju zdravih prehrambenih navika osjeća se podržano i brine o svom zdravlju. Promicanje ravnoteže, raznovrsnosti i umjerenosti u prehrani ključno je za održavanje normalnog BMI-a i poticanje dugoročnog zdravlja kod djece predškolske dobi.The goal of this final paper is to investigate the influence of the eating habits of preschool children and to see how they affect the body mass index (BMI). By calculating the body mass index (BMI) and the percentage of body mass index (%BMI), we assessed the state of children's nutrition and saw the impact of children's eating habits. Proper nutrition during growth and development is essential because it can prevent most chronic diseases in later life. It is important for children to develop positive eating habits and a healthy lifestyle through daily physical activities in order to provide them with quality conditions for growth and development. Smart choices and consistency in eating habits at home can have a long-term effect on children's well-being. Positive reinforcement can motivate them to continue good eating habits. A child who receives support from his family and environment in promoting healthy eating habits feels supported and takes care of his health. Promoting balance, variety and moderation in diet is key to maintaining a normal BMI and promoting long-term health in preschool children

No full textCilj ovog diplomskog rada jest proučavanje učeničkih navika, interesa i stavova vezanih uz kazalište, dramsku umjetnost i dramski odgoj. Kroz pregled relevantne literature, provedeno istraživanje i raspravu, svrha ovog rada je istraživanje interesa i potreba učenika te poticanje razvoja publike i dramskog odgoja unutar odgojno-obrazovnog sustava. Jedan od glavnih motiva ovog rada jest istražiti primjere dobre prakse u razvoju publike i dramskog odgoja, kako u Hrvatskoj, tako i u inozemstvu. Analizom tih primjera, cilj je identificirati načine uspješne implementacije dramskog odgoja u obrazovni sustav i potaknuti interes učenika za kazališnu umjetnost. Metoda istraživanja koja se koristila u ovom radu je anketiranje putem anketnog upitnika kojeg su učenici ispunjavali samostalno i anonimno. Ovaj oblik prikupljanja podataka omogućio je dobivanje relevantnih informacija o kazališnim navikama i interesima učenika, što je temelj za daljnju raspravu. Rasprava u ovom radu obuhvaća temeljitu analizu rezultata ankete, interpretaciju dobivenih nalaza te njihovu usporedbu s teorijskim okvirom i relevantnom literaturom. Osim toga, razmatraju se i moguća ograničenja istraživanja, kao što su veličina uzorka ili metoda prikupljanja podataka. Kroz zaključke rasprave, rad nudi odgovore na postavljena istraživačka pitanja te daje smjernice za daljnje istraživanje i raspravu o dramskom odgoju unutar školskog kurikuluma.The aim of this thesis is to study students’ habits, interests, and attitudes related to theater, dramatic arts, and drama education.

Impact of parenting styles on the child's personal, emotional and physical well-being in early childhood
No full textUtjecaj roditeljskih stilova odgoja na osobnu, emocionalnu i tjelesnu dobrobit djeteta u ranom djetinjstvu ključna je tema koja istražuje kako različiti pristupi roditeljstvu oblikuju djetetov razvoj. Autoritarni roditelji postavljaju stroga pravila, dok permisivni roditelji pružaju visoku slobodu. Demokratski roditelji kombiniraju granice i podršku, dok indiferentni roditelji ne nude nikakvu podršku te su emocionalno distancirani. Utvrđeno je da demokratski pristupi najčešće potiču pozitivan emocionalni razvoj i samopouzdanje kod djece. Međutim, važno je napomenuti da su dosljednost, ljubav i individualna prilagodba također ključni faktori u utjecaju roditeljskih stilova. Razumijevanje ovih utjecaja pomaže roditeljima stvarati podržavajuće okruženje i temelje za budući uspješan razvoj djeteta. Uz to, valja istaknuti da roditeljski stilovi nisu statički i mogu evoluirati tijekom vremena ili se prilagođavati potrebama djeteta i različitim fazama njihova razvoja. Otvorenost za prilagodbe i kontinuirana komunikacija unutar obitelji ključni su za osiguranje optimalnog utjecaja roditeljskog stila na djetetovu dobrobit u ranom djetinjstvu i kasnijem životu. Uz roditelje i odgojitelji imaju sposobnost oblikovanja pozitivnog utjecaj na osobni, emocionalni i tjelesni razvoj djeteta tijekom rane faze života, pružajući im temelje za budući uspješan razvoj. Važno je da odgajatelji budu svjesni svoje uloge i nastoje stvarati poticajno okruženje koje podržava sve aspekte djetetovog razvoja.The impact of parenting styles on a child's personal, emotional, and physical well-being in early childhood is a key topic that explores how different approaches to parenting shape a child's development. Authoritarian parents establish strict rules, while permissive parents provide high levels of freedom. Democratic parents combine boundaries with support, while indifferent parents offer no support and are emotionally distant. It has been found that democratic approaches most often promote positive emotional development and self-confidence in children. However, it is important to note that consistency, love, and individual adaptation are also crucial factors in the influence of parenting styles. Understanding these influences helps parents create a supportive environment and a foundation for the child's future success. Additionally, it is worth noting that parenting styles are not static and can evolve over time or adapt to the child's needs and different stages of their development. Openness to adjustments and ongoing communication within the family are essential for ensuring the optimal impact of parenting style on a child's well-being in early childhood and later in life. Both parents and educators have the ability to shape a positive influence on a child's personal, emotional, and physical development during the early stages of life, providing them with a foundation for future success. It is important for educators to be aware of their role and strive to create a stimulating environment that supports all aspects of a child's development
Using Pedagogical Communication to Improve Teacher-Parent Collaboration
No full textU ovom završnom radu, pregledom literature na temu komunikacije u službi unaprjeđenja suradnje roditelja i odgojitelja, došlo je do zaključka da je pedagoška komunikacija izravno povezana sa suradnjom roditelja i odgojitelja te da je od iznimne važnosti znati pravilno komunicirati. Komunikacija je dakle proces razmjene informacija, koji se u odgojno – obrazovnoj ustanovi poput dječjeg vrtića odvija u smjeru odgojitelj – dijete, odgojitelj – roditelj te dijete – dijete. Odgojitelji imaju važnu ulogu u razvijanju vještina komunikacije kod djece jer svojim primjerom u komunikaciji s njima, ali i s roditeljima, pokazuju njima kako se treba razgovarati. Suradnja roditelja i odgojitelja razvija se stjecanjem povjerenja, sigurnosti, pokazivanjem empatije, razumijevanja, asertivnosti te aktivnim slušanjem, a odgojitelji su ti koji trebaju podržavati roditelje bez obzira što možda nisu stručni u tom području kao oni. Roditelji i odgojitelji nose jednaku dužnost prema djetetu i njegovom cjelokupnom razvoju, stoga kroz različite oblike suradnje, poput roditeljskih sastanaka, radionica, druženja i sl., trebaju razvijati međusobno povjerenje i koristiti se Ja – porukama tijekom razgovora, odnosno neosuđujućim i društvu prihvatljivijim porukama.In this final paper, by reviewing the literature on the topic of communication in the service of improving cooperation between parents and educators, we came to the conclusion that pedagogical communication is directly related to cooperation between parents and educators and that it is extremely important to know how to communicate properly. Communication is therefore a process of information exchange, which in an educational institution such as a kindergarten takes place in the direction of educator - child, educator - parent and child - child. Educators play an important role in developing children's communication skills, because by their example in communication with them, as well as with parents, they show how to talk to them. Cooperation between parents and educators develops by gaining trust, security, showing empathy, understanding, assertiveness and active listening, and educators are the ones who should support parents, regardless of the fact that they may not be as expert in that field as they are. Parents and educators have an equal duty towards the child and his overall development, therefore through various forms of cooperation, such as parent meetings, workshops, socializing, etc., they should develop mutual trust and use I-messages during conversations, i.e. non-judgmental and socially acceptable messages
