ULOGA PEDAGOGA IZ PERSPEKTIVE RODITELJA POSVOJITELJA I UDOMITELJA
Ulogu pedagoga u odgojno-obrazovnoj ustanovi gotovo je nemoguće jednostavno definirati i kategorizirati. Ovaj diplomski rad istraţuje ulogu pedagoga u odgojno-obrazovnim ustanovama iz perspektive roditelja posvojitelja i udomitelja. Glavni ciljevi istraţivanja bili su utvrditi kako ti roditelji percipiraju podršku pedagoga prilikom upisa djece u odgojno-obrazovne ustanove, tijekom njihovog pohađanja određene ustanove te kvalitetu savjetodavnog rada. Korištenjem kvalitativne metodologije, kroz šest polustrukturiranih intervjua, prikupljeni su podaci koji pruţaju uvid u iskustva i izazove s kojima se suoĉavaju roditelji posvojitelji i udomitelji s podruĉja grada Splita. Rezultati istraţivanja ukazuju na vaţnost uloge pedagoga u olakšavanju prijelaza posvojene i udomljene djece u nove obiteljske i obrazovne okvire. Roditelji istiĉu potrebu za dodatnom izobrazbom i senzibilizacijom pedagoga kako bi bolje razumjeli specifiĉne potrebe ovih skupina djece. Kvaliteta pedagoškog savjetovanja varira, a roditelji ĉesto nailaze na brojne prepreke, nedostatak podrške i razumijevanja od strane osoblja odgojno-obrazovnih ustanova. Na temelju rezultata, preporuĉuje se kontinuirano usavršavanje pedagoga, razvoj specijaliziranih savjetodavnih programa i senzibilizacija za problematiku posvojenja i udomljavanja, kako bi se osigurala uvaţavajuća i podrţavajuća okolina za posvojenu i udomljenu djecu.The role of a pedagogue in an educational institution is almost impossible to simply define and categorize. This master’s thesis examines the role of pedagogues in educational institutions from the perspective of adoptive and foster parents. The main objectives of the research were to determine how these parents perceive the support of pedagogues when enrolling their children in educational institutions, during their attendance at a particular institution, and the quality of counseling work. Through the use of qualitative methodology, through six semi-structured interviews, data were collected that provide insight into the experiences and challenges faced by adoptive and foster parents from the area of the city of Split. The results of the research indicate the importance of the role of pedagogues in facilitating the transition of adopted and fostered children into new family and educational frameworks. Parents emphasize the need for additional training and sensitization of pedagogues in order to better understand the specific needs of this group of children. The quality of pedagogical counseling varies, and parents often encounter numerous obstacles, lack of support and understanding from the staff of educational institutions. Based on the results, continuous training of pedagogues, development of specialized counseling programs and sensitization to the issue of adoption and fostering are recommended, in order to ensure a receptive and supportive environment for adopted and fostered children
ANALYSIS OF THE STATE AND PERSPECTIVES OF ADMISSION TO POSTGRADUATE STUDIES: THE ATTITUDES OF STUDENTS OF THE FACULTY OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES IN SPLIT
U radu su analizirani stavovi studenata Filozofskog fakulteta u Splitu prema pohađanju poslijediplomskih (doktorskih) studija. Istraživanje je provedeno tijekom lipnja 2024. godine metodom online ankete, a obuhvatilo je perspektive studenata preddiplomskih i diplomskih studija te doktoranada. Rezultati pružaju uvide u privlačne čimbenike i prepreke koje studenti pretpostavljaju i doživljavaju prilikom daljnjeg obrazovanja. Značajan broj ispitanika pokazuje ambiciju za nastavkom školovanja na doktorskoj razini (25 %), a većina njih ne isključuje takvu mogućnost nekada u budućnosti (55,1 %). Glavni privlačni čimbenici su intrinzične i ekstrinzične prirode, poput želje za stjecanjem znanja i istraživačkih vještina, ali i bolje plaćenog te sigurnijeg radnog mjesta. Unatoč afirmativnim stavovima prema nastavku školovanja, ispitanici uviđaju ozbiljne prepreke kao što su financiranje doktorskog studija i količina posvećenosti koju zahtijevaju takvi studiji. Zanimljivo, privlačni čimbenici slični su bez obzira na kategoriju studenata obuhvaćenih uzorkom. Većina doktoranda Filozofskog fakulteta u Splitu zadovoljna je studijem kojeg pohađaju. Rezultati ukazuju na potrebu za boljom promocijom doktorskih studija koji mogu biti od ključne važnosti za izgradnju karijere, kao i dodatnom podrškom studentima u vidu informacija o mogućnostima financiranja.The paper analyzes the attitudes of students from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Split towards attending postgraduate (doctoral) studies. The research was conducted in June 2024 using an online survey, and it included the perspectives of undergraduate and graduate students as well as doctoral students. The results provide insights into the attractive factors and barriers students assume and experience when considering further education. A significant number of respondents express ambition to continue their education at the doctoral level (25%), while most do not rule out this possibility in the future (55.1%). The main attractive factors are of intrinsic and extrinsic nature, such as the desire to acquire knowledge and research skills, as well as the prospect of better-paid and more secure employment. Despite affirmative attitudes towards continuing education, respondents recognize serious obstacles, such as funding for doctoral studies and the level of commitment these studies require. Interestingly, the attractive factors are similar regardless of the student category included in the sample. Most doctoral students at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Split are satisfied with the studies they are attending. The results highlight the need for better promotion of doctoral studies, which can be crucial for career development, as well as additional support for students in the form of information about funding opportunities
Individuality, sin and repentance in John Donne's Holy Sonnets and Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus
The onset of renaissance in Europe is responsible for the birth of a plethora of ideas, concepts and movements. One of those being the Renaissance humanism movement which dramatically helped shift the worldview of the continent's people. Although this intellectual movement was embodied by the worldview centered on the nature and importance of humanity, the stern principles of the monastic idea ''ora et labora'', hailing from the preceeding Middle Ages were, despite efforts of humanists, all but forgotten. Nevertheless, mentioning the emergence of new humanistic ideas regarding the relationship between the Catholic Church and the individual remains of great importance. The medieval commoner found in twelfth century Europe varies greatly to the one observed just some couple hundred years later in any land that had been struck by the reforms brought upon by the Renaissance. The god-fearing individual deprived of any trace of individualism in the Middle Ages had now become an increasingly educated and curious entity. His free will, once completely stripped by the serfdom to his earthly and heavenly lords, had now swollen with interest for newfound notions of individualism and anthropocentrism. The new values brought upon by the Renaissance influenced a great number of works which radiate with the mentioned concepts, but also some that continued to be shaped by the era that preceded them. Two authors that wore the influence of medieval thinkers on their sleeves are John Donne with Holy Sonnets and Christopher Marlowe with The Tragical History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus. There works are prime examples of how the strict and religious medieval tradition continued to exist during the Renaissance, although now greatly altered under the influence of the period's evolving philosophical thought.Početak renesanse u Europi doveo je do rađanja mnogih ideja, koncepata i pokreta. Jedan od tih pokreta bio je renesansni Humanizam, koji je značajno pridonio promjeni svjetonazora stanovnika europskoga kontinenta. Iako je ovaj intelektualni pokret naglašavao pogled na svijet okrenut prirodi i važnosti čovjeka, stroga načela monaškog gesla "ora et labora" (moli i radi), koja potječu iz srednjeg vijeka, unatoč naporima humanista, nisu bila posve zaboravljena. Ipak, važno je istaknuti pojavu novih humanističkih ideja, osobito u pogledu odnosa između Katoličke crkve i pojedinca.
Srednjovjekovni čovjek iz dvanaestog stoljeća uvelike se razlikuje od onoga kojeg možemo susresti samo nekoliko stoljeća kasnije u dobu kojeg su zahvatile renesansne reforme. Bogobojazna osoba, lišena bilo kakvih tragova individualizma u srednjem vijeku, sada je postajala sve obrazovanija i znatiželjnija. Njezina slobodna volja, nekada posve potisnuta kroz kmetstvo prema njenim zemaljskim i nebeskim gospodarima, sada je rasla, zajedno s interesom za novootkrivene pojmove individualizma i antropocentrizma. Nove vrijednosti koje je donijela renesansa inspirirale su mnoga djela prožeta tim konceptima, ali i neka koja su nastavila upijati utjecaj razdoblja koje im je prethodilo. Dva autora u čijim je djelima evidentan utjecaj srednjovjekovnih mislilaca su John Donne sa svojim Svetim Sonetima i Christopher Marlowe s djelom "Tragična povijest života i smrti doktora Fausta". Njihova su djela izvrstan primjer kako je stroga i religiozna srednjovjekovna tradicija opstala tijekom renesanse, premda sada blago izmijenjena pod utjecajem filozofskih razmišljanja toga razdoblja
ZWISCHEN APOLL UND DIONYSOS: PHILOSOPHISCHE KONNOTATIONEN IN DER TOD IN VENEDIG
Diese Masterarbeit beschäftigt sich mit einem der bedeutendsten Werke Thomas Mann, mit der Novelle Der Tod in Venedig. Der Inhalt dieser Novelle ist vieldeutig und kann unterschiedlich interpretiert werden. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es deshalb, die Aufmerksamkeit auf die Aporie zwischen den griechischen Göttern Apollo und Dionysos zu legen. Nach Nietzsche ergänzen sie sich und wirken zusammen. So ist auch Aschenbachs moralischer Verfall durch viele Motive des Gottes Dionysos bedingt. Auf den ersten Blick ist die tiefe Bedeutung des Inhalts dieser Novelle schwer zu erkennen. Diese Masterarbeit gibt deshalb zunächst allgemeine Informationen über den Autor Thomas Mann und sein Werk Der Tod in Venedig. Des Weiteren werden die Handlung und die Charakterisierung der Hauptfiguren, Gustav von Aschenbachs und des jungen Knaben Tadzio, gezeigt. Vor allem aber werden in der vorliegenden Arbeit die o.g. Aporien dargestellt und mit den Zitaten untermauert. So wird das tragische Schicksal der Hauptfigur durch zahlreiche Todesboten angekündigt, die im Namen des Gottes Dionysos auftreten. Der gleichnamige Film des italienischen Regisseurs Luchino Visconti beweist am besten, dass Thomas Mann einer der bedeutendsten Autoren seiner Zeit ist, dessen Werke auch heute noch hoch geschätzt sind. Der Vergleich von Roman und Film wird in dieser Arbeit abschließend diskutiert.In this thesis, one of Thomas Mann's most significant works, "Death in Venice," is interpreted. The content of this novella is multifaceted, allowing for various interpretations. The aim of this thesis is to direct attention to the contrast between two Greek gods, Apollo and Dionysus. According to Nietzsche, these two gods complement each other and often act together. Aschenbach's moral and psychological decline is conditioned by many motifs associated with the god Dionysus. At first glance, it is difficult to notice the deeper meaning of the novella's content. This thesis presents information about Thomas Mann and his work. It then outlines the plot and offers characterization of the main characters, Gustav Aschenbach and the boy Tadzio. It also presents the aporias that can be observed in the work, supported by quotations. The tragic fate of the main character is heralded by numerous messengers of death who appear in the name of the god Dionysus. The fact that Thomas Mann is one of the most significant authors of his time, whose works are still valued today, is best evidenced by the eponymous film by the Italian director Luchino Visconti. The comparison between the novella and the film are also discussed in this thesis. The goal of this paper is to draw attention to the contradictions observable in the novella, as well as to compare the content of the novella and the eponymous film, which point to one of the main contradictions leading to the death of the protagonist
GLAZBENA PRIČA PEĆA I VUK U NASTAVI GLAZBE RANE ŠKOLSKE DOBI
U ovom se radu istražuje značajan utjecaj glazbenog obrazovanja na cjelovit razvoj
djece s naglaskom na njegov utjecaj na afektivne, socijalne, kognitivne i psihomotorne domene.
Glazbeno obrazovanje u ranoj školskoj dobi kroz aktivnosti kao što su pjevanje, glazbene igre,
pokret uz glazbu, pjesmice i slušanje, ne samo da unapređuje glazbene sposobnosti već također
podupire cjelokupni osjetilni, estetski, moralni, fizički i intelektualni razvoj osobito u razvoju
slušnih vještina ključnih za govor. U nastavku rada se također raspravlja o širem kurikulumu
glazbenog obrazovanja i ukratko se dotiče važnosti čitanja djeci, naglašavajući međusobnu
povezanost pripovijedanja i glazbe u obrazovnim okruženjima. Spomenuti su metodički
postupci koji se koriste prilikom izvođenja nastave glazbene kulture. Nadalje se ističe
korištenje glazbenih priča kao učinkovitih alata u glazbenom obrazovanju, a naglasak je na
"Peći i Vuku" Sergeja Prokofjeva. Prikazana je analiza glazbene priče u sustavu e-učenja
Moodle. Glazbene priče spajaju naraciju s glazbom, potičući emocionalnu angažiranost,
kreativnost i dublje razumijevanje glazbenih koncepata integracijom elemenata poput ritma,
melodije i dinamike unutar konteksta priče.This paper explores the significant impact of music education on the holistic
development of children, with an emphasis on its influence on affective, social, cognitive, and
psychomotor domains. Early school-age music education activities, such as singing, musical
games, movement to music, rhymes, and listening, not only enhance musical abilities but also
support overall sensory, aesthetic, moral, physical, and intellectual development, particularly
in the development of auditory skills crucial for speech. The paper also discusses the broader
music education curriculum and briefly touches on the importance of reading to children,
highlighting the interconnectedness of storytelling and music in educational settings.
Methodological approaches used in teaching music education are mentioned. Furthermore, the
use of musical stories as effective tools in music education is emphasized, with a focus on
Sergei Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf." An analysis of the musical story within the Moodle elearning
system is presented. Musical stories combine narration with music, fostering
emotional engagement, creativity, and a deeper understanding of musical concepts by
integrating elements such as rhythm, melody, and dynamics within the context of the story
OBILJEŽJA RODITELJSTVA U OBJAŠNJAVANJU POZITIVNOG RAZVOJA MLADIH
Tema ovog diplomskog rada je obilježja roditeljstva u objašnjavanju pozitivnog razvoja mladih. U teorijskom dijelu rada objasnila se perspektiva pozitivnog razvoja mladih kao 5C model te koncept razvojnih prednosti te se dao teorijski uvid u roditeljstvo i njegov utjecaj na adolescente.
Istraživanje ovog diplomskog rada provedeno je u sklopu projekta Testiranje 5C modela pozitivnog razvoja mladih: tradicionalno i digitalno mobilno mjerenje (P.R.O.T.E.C.T.) na uzorku od 248 učenika splitskih srednjih škola. Cilj je bio ispitati kako neka obilježja roditeljstva objašnjavaju pozitivni razvoj mladih iz perspektive adolescenata, odnosno ispitati povezanost sociodemografskih obilježja s 5C, povezanost 5C sa specifičnim roditeljskim ponašanjima te ispitati koliko neke roditeljske odrednice objašnjavaju pozitivan razvoj mladih (5C).The topic of this thesis is the characteristics of parenting in explaining the positive youth development. In the theoretical part of the work, the perspective of positive youth development as a 5C model and the concept of developmental advantages were explained, and it was given a theoretical insight into parenting and its influence on adolescents.
The research of this thesis was carried out as part of the project Testing the 5C model of positive youth development: traditional and digital mobile measurement (P.R.O.T.E.C.T.) on a sample of 248 students from high schools in Split. The goal was to examine how some characteristics of parenting explain the positive youth development from the perspective of adolescents, that is, to examine the connection of sociodemographic characteristics with 5C, the connection of 5C with specific parental behaviors, and to examine to what extent some parental determinants explain the positive development of young people (5C)
CENTER FOR SAND AND WATER GAMES - A COMPONENT OF THE STIMULATING ENVIRONMENT IN THE KINDERGARTEN
Dijete je istraživač od samoga rođenja te istraživanjem uči i stvara nametljiv odnos prema onome što čini njegovo okruženje, a sve s ciljem zadovoljenja svojih potreba. Kroz djetetovo istraživanje odgajatelj obavlja ulogu suigrača, partnera, dokumentatora i organizatora prostora. Okruženje je organizirano tako da bude smisleno, poticajno i usklađeno s djetetovim potrebama i interesima. Centri aktivnosti omogućuju djeci kvalitetan razvoj za vrijeme boravka u vrtiću. Centar u kojem je pijesak zastupljen kao sastavnica poticajnog prostorno-materijalnog okruženja, ima nadasve i terapijski učinak na dijete i djeluje umirujuće. Utjecaj je zastupljen u svakom aspektu djetetova razvoja, ali je slaba inicijativa odgajatelja za aktivnostima u navedenome centru. Dijete stječe razne vještine, bile one fizičke ili psihičke, koje mu olakšavaju proces daljnjeg istraživanja i učenja. Susret s materijalima kao što su pijesak i voda djeluje pozitivno na razvoj djeteta uz prikladnu podršku odgajatelja, a socijalno okruženje dodatno doprinosi tome.A child is a researcher from birth, and through research, he learns and creates an intrusive relationship towards what makes up his environment, all with the aim of satisfying his needs. Through the child's research, the educator performs the role of teammate, partner, documenter and organizer of space. The environment is organized so that it is meaningful, stimulating and aligned with the child's needs and interests. Activity centers enable children to develop well during their stay in kindergarten. The center in which sand is represented as a component of the stimulating spatial and material environment has, above all, a therapeutic effect on the child and has a calming effect. The influence is represented in every aspect of the child's development, but the educators' initiative for activities in the said center is weak. The child acquires various skills, whether physical or mental, which facilitate the process of further research and learning. The encounter with materials such as sand and water has a positive effect on the child's development with appropriate support from educators, and the social environment additionally contributes to this
THE ROLE OF THE EDUCATOR IN RECOGNIZING THE ABUSED AND NEGLECTED CHILD
Djeca su kroz stoljeća zlostavljana i zanemarena, a prepoznavanje najčešće ovisi o socijalnim čimbenicima. Zlostavljanje obuhvaća svako fizičko, mentalno seksualno zlostavljanje ili maltretiranje djece mlađe od 18 godina. Zanemarivanje se najčešće definira kao izostanak brige i njege odraslih prema djetetu.
Zlostavljana i zanemarena djeca pokazuju emocionalne i ponašajne probleme, loše kognitivno funkcioniranje te kasnije takva djeca imaju lošiji upijeh u školi.
Cilj ovog istraživanja jest stjecanje uvida u to kako odgajatelji percipiraju svoju ulogu kada je u pitanju zlostavljanje i zanemarivanje djece. Na poseban način fokus se stavio na njihove stavove, iskustva i osjećaj kompetentnosti u ovom području. Prema dobivenim rezultatima velika većina odgajatelja smatra da su dužna prijaviti sumnju ili bilo koji oblik zlostavljanja i zanemarivanja djece. Velika većina odgajatelja se osjeća kompetentnima u prepoznavanju, međutim polovica odgajatelja nije dobila podršku stručnog tima i vodstva vrtića u prijavi zlostavljanja i zanemarivanja.Children have been abused and neglected for centuries, and recognition usually depends on social factors. Abuse includes any physical, mental, sexual abuse or mistreatment of children under the age of 18. Neglect most often defined as a lack of care and attention by adults towards a child.
Abused and neglect children show emotional and behavioral problems, poor cognitive functioning, and later such children have worse absorption in school.
The aim of this research is to gain insight into how educators perceive their role when it comes to child abuse and neglect. In a special way, the focus was placed on their attitudes, experiences and sense of competence in this area. According to the obtained results, the vast majority of educators believe that they are obliged to report suspicions or any form of abuse and neglect of children. The vast majority of educators feel competent in recognizing, half of the educators did not receive the support of the professional team and kindergarten leadership in reporting abuse and neglect
HODONIMIJA GRADA OMIŠA
U ovom je radu prikazano porijeklo današnjih imena gradskih ulica, trgova i dijelova grada. Imena su razvrstana u skupine prema zajedničkim obilježjima, a za svako je ime dan kratki pregled o podrijetlu i nastanku. Prikazana je i istražena hodonimija grada Omiša prije 1992. godine. Naime, te je godine većina ulica i trgova u Omišu preimenovana, a manji broj hodonima te je godine nastao po prvi put. Hodonimi koji su postojali prije 1992. godine također su razvrstani u skupine prema uočenim zajedničkim obilježjima, a svakom je hodonimu istražena motivacija u imenovanju. U povijesnom je kontekstu naglasak stavljen na prikaz zanimljive i za povijest grada Omiša iznimno značajne gusarske djelatnosti.The origin of today's names of city streets, squares and parts of the city was shown in this paper. The names were classified according to common characteristics, and each name was separately analyzed by giving general description and an overview of the origin. The hodonymy of the city of Omiš before 1992 was presented and analyzed. In that year most of the streets and squares in Omiš were renamed, and a smaller number of them were named for the first time. The hodonyms that existed before 1992 were also classified according to the observed common characteristics, and for each hodonym the origin of the name and the motivation for the naming was analyzed. In the historical context, the emphasis was on the presentation of an interesting and extremely significant pirate activity in Omiš
STUDENTS MUSICAL PREFERENCES TOWARD MAJOR/MINOR VERSIONS OF POPULAR MUSIC
Poznavanje glazbenih preferencija učenika i studenata izuzetno je značajan faktor u planiranju sadržaja nastave glazbe. Cilj ovog istraživanja je ispitati preferencije studenata prema popularnoj glazbi u originalnoj verziji i u verziji u kojoj je promijenjen tonalitet s obzirom na dob/godinu studija, vrstu završene srednje škole, područje studiranja (društveno-humanističke i prirodne znanosti) i poznavanje glazbe. Ispitivanje je provedeno na uzorku od 260 sudionika, studenata Filozofskog fakulteta, Prirodoslovno-matematičkog fakulteta, Sveučilišnog odjela za forenzične znanosti, Sveučilišnog odjela za studije mora i Mediteranske poljoprivrede. Za potrebe istraživanja konstruiran je upitnik koji sadrži dva dijela. U prvom dijelu nalazila su se pitanja koja su se odnosila na sociodemografska obilježja sudionika, a drugi dio je Upitnik za ispitivanje glazbenih preferencija. Za potrebe istraživanja konstruiran je glazbeni nosač zvuka koji se sastojao od 10 glazbenih ulomaka, i to po pet ulomaka originalnih verzija popularne glazbe i pet ulomaka popularne glazbe u kojima je promijenjen tonalitet, svaki u trajanju od 30 sekunda.
Rezultatima ovog istraživanja potvrđeno je da studenti generalno pokazuju veće preferencije originalnih verzija popularne glazbe, u odnosu na njihove varijante u promijenjenom tonalitetu. Nadalje, završeno srednjoškolsko obrazovanje pokazalo se značajnim prediktorom preferencija originalnih verzija popularnih pjesama, a područje studiranja, godina studija i poznavanje glazbe značajni su prediktori preferencija originalnih verzija popularne glazbe i njihovih varijanti u promijenjenom tonalitetu. Dobiveni rezultati imaju značajne glazbeno-pedagoške implikacije, u smislu planiranje sadržaja nastave glazbe, ali i glazbeno-psihološke implikacije, u smislu razmatranja različitih varijabli pod čijim se utjecajem formiraju glazbene preferencije.Knowledge of the music preferences of pupils and students is an extremely important factor in the planning of the music education curriculum. The aim of this study is to examine students’ preferences for popular music in the original version and the version with the changed tonality with respect to age/year of study, type of secondary school completed, the field of study (social sciences and humanities or natural sciences) and the knowledge of music. A survey was carried out on a sample of 260 participants – students from the University of Split Faculty of Philosophy, Faculty of Science, Department of Forensic Sciences, Department of Marine Studies and Department for Mediterranean Agriculture. For the survey, a two-part questionnaire was designed. The first part of the questionnaire contained questions relating to the socio-demographic characteristics of respondents and the second part was a questionnaire to survey the music preferences of students. For the purposes of the study, a musical sound carrier consisting of ten 30-second fragments of music was constructed, containing five fragments of original versions of popular music and five fragments of popular music with changed tonality.
The results of the study confirmed that students generally show greater preference for original versions of popular music compared to variants with changed tonality. Furthermore, completed secondary education has proven to be an important predictor of the preference for original versions of popular songs, with the field of study, the year of study and the knowledge of music being significant predictors of the preference for original versions of popular music and their variants with the changed tonality. The results obtained have significant musical and pedagogical implications, in terms of planning of the music education curriculum, but also musical-psychological implications, in terms of consideration of the different variables that influence musical preferences
