THE ROLE OF READING FAIRY TALES IN THE MORAL DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN OF EARLY AND PRESCHOOL AGE
No full textU radu je prikazan utjecaj čitanja bajke na moralni razvoj djeteta rane i predškolske dobi. Moralni razvoj započinje od najranije dobi. Brojni su vanjski utjecaji koji na njega utječu. Kao najvažniji ističe se uloga obitelji i odgoj no-obrazovnog sustava. U radu se iznosi Kohlbergova kognitivno - razvojna teorija razvoja. Djeca rane i predškolske dobi nalaze se na predkonvecionalnoj razini moralnog razvoja. Na toj razini moral se temelji na pretpostavci da će dobra djela biti nagrađena a loša kažnjena. Istaknute su dobrobiti čitanja osima na moralni razvoj utječu i na razvoj dječje mašte, razvoj govora i razvoj kompetencija kritičkog mišljenja. Kroz analizu bajke Šuma Striborova djeca su upoznata s brojnim moralnim vrijednostima koja su prožeta kroz likove unutar bajke. Ističe se koncept istine, oprosta,"his paper presents the impact of reading fairy tales on the moral development of children in early and preschool age. Moral development begins from the earliest age. Numerous external influences affect it. The role of the family and the educational system stands out as the most important. The paper presents Kohlberg's cognitive-developmental theory of development. Children in early and preschool age are at the pre-conventional level of moral development, /d this level, morality is based on the assumption that good deeds will be rewarded and bad djeeds punished. The benefits of reading are highlighted not only for moral development but a. so for the development of children's imagination, speech development, and the development of critical thinking skills. Through the analysis of the fairy tale "Stribor’s Forest," children are introduced to numerous moral values embedded in the characters within the tale. The concepts of truth, forgiveness, a mother's unconditional love, and the triumph of good over evil are emnhasized
PROSTORNO-MATERIJALNI KONTEKST DJEČJIH VRTIĆA NEKAD I DANAS
No full textKao temeljna jedinica društva, obitelj je tijekom vremena doživjela velike promjene. Otvaranje prvih predškolskih ustanova bio je odgovor na procese industrijalizacije, urbanizacije, sve većeg zapošljavanja žena i izmijenjene uvjete odrastanja i odgoja djeteta. Uključivanjem djece u različite odgojno-obrazovne ustanove javlja se institucijski odgoj te u skladu s tim i djetinjstvo koje se postupno institucionaliziralo. Mnogi mislioci i teoretičari bavili su se pitanjima odgoja i značajkama igre kao središnje aktivnosti koja pridonosi cjelovitom dječjem razvoju, te su doprinijeli razvoju teorije i prakse ranog odgoja i postavili temelje razvoja društva. Prva razmišljanja o odgoju bila su da se dijete može uključiti u organizirane aktivnosti putem kojih će graditi znanja o svijetu koji ga okružuje. U predškolskoj dobi dijete je najviše osjetljivo na utjecaje okoline, a utjecaji u toj dobi (najupečatljiviji i najtrajniji) su od velikog značaj za kasniji odgoj, obrazovanje i formiranje osobnosti uopće. Rani i predškolski odgoj danas, kako u većini zemalja svijeta, tako i kod nas, čini sastavni dio odgojno-obrazovnog sustava, a dječji vrtić jest njegov osnovni provedbeni oblik. Prostorno i socijalno okruženje vrtića-aktivnim uključivanjem djece u proces učenja, uz neizostavnu interakciju s drugom djecom i podržavajućim odraslima-ima velik utjecaj na učenje i cjelokupni razvoj i odgoj djeteta, zbog čega neprekidan razvoj okruženja predstavlja jednu od posebno važnih zadaća u organizaciji odgojno-obrazovnog procesa vrtića. Suvremeno shvaćanje predškolske djece i institucijskog ranog odgoja i obrazovanja, kao rezultat suvremenih znanstvenih istraživanja i spoznaja, urodilo je novim stajalištima i vrijednostima, te se promijenio doživljaj dječjeg vrtića- od mjesta institucijske skrbi, zaštite i odgoja djece do-vrtića kao organizacije koja uči.As the basic unit of society, the family has undergone great changes over time. The opening of the first preschool institutions was a response to the processes of industrialization, urbanization, the increasing employment of women and the changed conditions for growing up and raising children. By including children in different educational institutions, institutional education appears and, accordingly, a childhood that gradually became institutionalized. Many thinkers and theoreticians dealt with the issues of upbringing and the features of play as a central activity that contributes to the overall development of children, and they contributed to the development of the theory and practice of early childhood education and laid the foundations for the development of society. The first thoughts about upbringing were that the child can be involved in organized activities through which he will build knowledge about the world around him. In the preschool age, the child is most sensitive to the influence of the environment, and the influences at that age (the most impressive and lasting) are of great importance for later upbringing education and personality formation in general.Early and preschool education today, both in most countries of the world and in our country, is an integral part of the educational system, and kindergarten is its basic form of implementation. The spatial and social environment of the kindergarten - by actively involving children in the learning process, along with essential interaction with other children and supporting adults - has a great influence on learning and the overall development and upbringing of the child, which is why the continuous development of the environment is one of the particularly important tasks in the organization of educational educational process of the kindergarten. The modern understanding of preschool children and institutional early upbringing and education, as a result of modern scientific research and knowledge, gave birth to new points of view and values, and the experience of kindergarten changed - from a place of institutional care, protection and education of children to kindergarten as a learning organization
USPOREDBA MOTORIČKIH SPOSOBNOSTI UČENIKA TREĆIH RAZREDA OSNOVNE ŠKOLE KAMEŠNICA OTOK U 2023./2024.
No full textFizičkoj aktivnosti se danas pridaje mnogo više značaja nego što je to bilo prije. Ona je izuzetno važna kod djece nižih razreda osnovne škole kako bi se omogućio pravilan rast i razvoj djece, posebno motoričkih sposobnosti. Stoga bi djecu već od malih nogu trebalo usmjeriti prema tjelesnoj aktivnosti te sjecanju zdravih radnih navika. Tu važnu ulogu imaju roditelji i učitelji kako bi ih motivirali i usmjerili u skladu s njihovim željama i potrebama. Svrha ovog diplomskog rada je potaknuti još veću svijest o važnosti tjelesne aktivnosti te razvoja motorike i motoričkih sposobnosti djece. Cilj rada je napraviti usporednu analizu rezultata motoričkih sposobnosti učenika trećih razreda osnovne škole Kamešnica Otok te na temelju analize utvrditi sličnosti i razlike među učenicima, ali i s prosjekom Republike Hrvatske.Nowdays, physical activity is more important than it used to be. It is extremely important for children in the lower grades of elementary school in order to enable proper growth and development of children, especially motor skills. Therefore, children should be directed towards physical activity and the adoption of healthy work habits from an early age. Parents and teachers play an important role in this, in order to motivate and guide them in accordance with their wishes and needs. The purpose of this thesis is to encourage even greater awareness of the importance of physical activity and the development of motor skills and motor abilities of children. The aim of the thesis is to make a comparative analysis of the results of the motor skills of third-grade students of elementary school Kamešnica Otok
TRADICIJSKA KULTURA I KNJIŽEVNOST DRNIŠKOGA KRAJA
No full textPredmet ovog diplomskog rada bio je istražiti i predstaviti tradicijsku kulturu i književnost
drniškoga kraja. Na temelju analize stručne i znanstvene literature, ali i vlastitog terenskog
istraživačkog rada, u radu je opisan niz tradicija vezanih za razne blagdane i spomendane čitave
godine, a sve to sadržano je u poglavlju crkveno-pučka baština. Nadalje, rad je obuhvatio i
poglavlje vjerske usmene lirike vezane za područje grada Drniša, ali i predaja, posebice
demonoloških i mitoloških, koje prikazuju vjerovanja toga vremena. U idućem je poglavlju na
detaljan način ocrtan svakodnevni život ljudi u prošlosti, ali i njihovo snalaženje u njemu.
Posljednje o čemu je u radu riječ jesu ojkavice, tradicionalan način pjevanja u Drnišu, koje su
zaštićene kao nematerijalno kulturno dobro Republike Hrvatske. Naposljetku, došlo se do
zaključka kako je i drniški kraj, kao i brojni drugi krajevi Republike Hrvatske, bogata riznica
raznih tradicija i običaja koji ocrtavaju duh prošlog vremena u tomu kraju.The subject of this thesis was to research and present the traditional culture and literature
of the Drniš region. Based on the analysis of specialized and scientific literature, as well as my
own field research work, the paper describes a number of traditions related to various holidays
and commemorations throughout the year, and all of this is contained in the chapter on church
and folk heritage. Furthermore, the work also includes a chapter on religious oral poetry related
to the Drniš area, as well as oral traditions, especially demonological and mythological
traditions depicting the beliefs of that time. In the next chapter, the everyday life of people in
the past is outlined in detail, as well as their way of coping with it. The last thing that is discussed
in the paper are ojkavice, a traditional way of singing in Drniš, which is protected as an
intangible cultural asset of the Republic of Croatia. Finally, it is concluded that the Drniš region,
like many other regions of the Republic of Croatia, is a rich treasury of various traditions and
customs that outline the spirits of the past in it
SUVREMENA ETNOGRAFIJA USMENE LIRIKE I PREDAJA U IMOTSKOME KRAJU
No full textUz pomoć kazivačica Antice i Milke upoznali smo se detaljnije s nekim starim običajima, vjerovanjima, pjesmama te težim životnim pričama od onih na koje smo danas navikli. Naši predci su stvarali svoju kulturu kako bi je mogli prenijeti svojim potomcima. Usmena književnost je najstarija i najdugotrajnija vrsta književnosti koja postoji od vremena kada ljudi nisu znali pisati i predstavlja tradiciju pisanoj književnosti. Uvelike je pripomogla u očuvanju kulture, vjerskih zapisa, prenja i povijesnih priča koje se prenose s generacije na generaciju. S obzirom na kratki rječnik na kraju rada uvidjeli smo da nema nekih većih jezičnih odstupanja u odnosu na danas iako postoji mnogo zastarjelica poput kudilj, sadak, sukanac koje danas više nisi u upotrebi.With the help of storytellers Antica and Milka, we got to know in more detail some old customs, beliefs, songs and more difficult life stories than those we are used to today. Our ancestors created their culture so that they could pass it on to their descendants. Oral literature is the oldest and longest-lasting type of literature that has existed since the time when people did not know how to write and represents the tradition of written literature. It greatly helped in the preservation of culture, religious records, folktales and historical stories that are passed down from generation to generation. With regard to the short dictionary at the end of the paper, we saw that there are no major language deviations compared to today, although there are many obsolete words such as kudil, sadak, sukanac, which are no longer in use today

UTJECAJ DIGITALNE IGRE NA DJECU
No full textOvaj rad istražuje utjecaj digitalnih igara na djecu, fokusirajući se na percepcije roditelja i razvojne aspekte djece. S obzirom na sveprisutnu upotrebu digitalnih igara, istraživanje nastoji razumjeti njihov utjecaj na dječji razvoj i ponašanje. Prvi dio rada analizira evoluciju digitalnih igara kao medija koji ne samo da zabavlja, već i educira i povezuje ljude. Istražuje se kako igre utječu na razvoj vještina, kreativnost i komunikaciju kod djece, te kako prelazak s tradicionalnih igara na digitalne igre utječe na njihovu svakodnevicu. Drugi dio rada temelji se na anketi provednoj među roditeljima u Splitu, koja ispituje različite aspekte uključivanja digitalnih igara u živote djece. Analizirani su roditeljski pristupi odgoju u kontekstu digitalnih igara, kvaliteta igara, te promjene u ponašanju i raspoloženju djece nakon igranja. Posebna pažnja posvećena je sigurnosnim rizicima i roditeljskoj svijesti o njima, kao i općim stavovima roditelja o utjecaju digitalnih igara na djecu. Istraživanje se usredotočuje na četiri ključna pitanja: utjecaj digitalnih igara na kognitivni razvoj, socijalne i emocionalne vještine djece, pozitivni i negativni aspekti igranja igara, te čimbenici koji utječu na roditeljske stavove o primjerenosti i učestalosti igranja. Anketom je obuhvaćeno 100 roditelja predškolske djece, a rezultati su pokazali polarizirane stavove o učincima digitalnih igara. Iako su obrazovne igre prepoznate kao korisne za razvoj, nasilne igre povezane su s negativnim posljedicama. Roditelji su također identificirali potrebu za većim obrazovanjem o sadržaju igara i primjenom sigurnosnih alata. Zaključno, digitalne igre imaju i pozitivne i negativne učinke na djecu, a ključ uspješnog uključivanja leži u postavljanju pravila, edukaciji o sigurnosti i promicanju ravnoteže između digitalnih i fizičkih aktivnosti. Odgovoran pristup može maksimizirati koristi i minimizirati rizike povezane s digitalnim igrama, osiguravajući cjelovit i zdrav razvoj djece.This paper explores the impact of digital games on children, focusing on parental perceptions and developmental aspects. Given the widespread use of digital games, the research aims to understand their influence on child development and behavior. The first part of the paper analyzes the evolution of digital games as a medium that not only entertains but also educates and connects people. It examines how games affect skill development, creativity, and communication in children, as well as how the shift from traditional to digital games influences their daily lives. The second part of the paper is based on a survey conducted among parents in Split, which investigates various aspects of integrating digital games into children's lives. The study analyzed parental approaches to upbringing in the context of digital games, the quality of games, and changes in children's behavior and mood after gameplay. Special attention was given to safety risks and parental awareness of these risks, as well as general parental attitudes towards the impact of digital games on children. The research focuses on four key questions: the impact of digital games on children's cognitive development and social-emotional skills, the positive and negative aspects of gameplay, and the factors influencing parental attitudes toward the appropriateness and frequency of play. The survey included 100 parents of preschool children, and the results revealed polarized views on the effects of digital games. While educational games were recognized as beneficial for development, violent games were linked to negative outcomes. Parents also highlighted the need for greater education on game content and the use of safety tools. In conclusion, digital games have both positive and negative effects on children. The key to successful integration lies in setting clear rules, educating about safety, and promoting a balance between digital and physical activities. A responsible approach can maximize the benefits and minimize the risks associated with digital games, ensuring comprehensive and healthy development for children
THROUGH VOLUNTEERING TO EMPLOYMENT: THE INFLUENCE OF ASSOCIATIONS ON PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIVIDUALS
No full textVolontiranje je aktivnost u kojoj pojedinci dobrovoljno daju svoje vreme, energiju i vještine kako
bi pomogli drugima ili doprinosili određenim društvenim ciljevima, bez očekivanja financijske
naknade. Ono ima mnoge prednosti, kako za pojedince koji volontiraju, tako i za zajednice u
kojima djeluju. Za volontere, ovo iskustvo predstavlja priliku za osobni i profesionalni razvoj.
Mogu steći nove vještine, proširiti svoje znanje, razviti empatiju i socijalne vještine, kao i ojačati
samopouzdanje. Također je prilika za umrežavanje i stvaranje novih kontakata, koji mogu biti
korisni u budućim profesionalnim ili osobnim poduhvatima. Potiče osjećaj zajedništva i
odgovornosti, i može inspirirati druge da se uključe u slične aktivnosti, stvarajući lančanu reakciju
pozitivnih promjena u društvu. Ono igra ključnu ulogu u rješavanju mnogih izazova, uključujući
siromaštvo, obrazovanje, zdravstvo i zaštitu životne sredine. Glavni cilj ovog istraživanja bio je
ispitati utječe li, te pomaže li iskustvo volontiranja samim volonterima u pronalasku posla te
vrednuju li to i sami poslodavci. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo dvadesetpet sugovornika/-ca u dobi
od 29 do 65 godina iz različitih udruga i organizacija za volontiranje.
Rezultati su pokazali da je nešto manje od polovice ispitanika započelo volontiranje u mlađim
godinama. Većina je saznala za volonterske aktivnosti preko profesora ili prijatelja. Oko polovine
ispitanika počelo je volontirati zbog viška slobodnog vremena, dok je nešto više od polovice to
učinilo zbog želje da pomognu drugima. Najveći broj ispitanika volontirao je u udrugama za osobe
s posebnim potrebama, a nešto manje od polovice u izviđačkim organizacijama. Većina je izjavila
da se osjeća ispunjenije kada pomaže drugima. Ipak, više od polovine smatra da volontiranje nije
dovoljno cjenjeno prilikom zapošljavanja, dok je samo nekolicina navela da im je volontersko
iskustvo pomoglo u pronalaženju posla.Volunteering is an activity in which individuals voluntarily give their time, energy and skills to
help others or contribute to certain social goals, without expecting financial compensation. It has
many advantages, both for the individuals who volunteer and for the communities in which they
operate. For volunteers, this experience represents an opportunity for personal and professional
development. They can acquire new skills, expand their knowledge, develop empathy and social
skills, as well as strengthen their self-confidence. It is also an opportunity to network and make
new contacts, which may be useful in future professional or personal endeavors. It fosters a sense
of community and responsibility, and can inspire others to engage in similar activities, creating a
chain reaction of positive changes in society. It plays a key role in solving many challenges,
including poverty, education, health and environmental protection. The main goal of this research
was to examine whether the experience of volunteering affects and helps the volunteers themselves
in finding a job, and whether the employers themselves value it. Twenty-five interlocutors between
the ages of 29 and 65 from various associations and volunteering organizations took part in the
research.
The results showed that slightly less than half of the respondents started volunteering at a younger
age. Most learned about volunteer activities through professors or friends. About half of the
respondents started volunteering because of excess free time, while slightly more than half did so
because of the desire to help others. The largest number of respondents volunteered in associations
for people with special needs, and slightly less than half in scouting organizations. Most reported
that they feel more fulfilled when they help others. However, more than half believe that
volunteering is not valued enough when hiring, while only a few stated that volunteering
experience helped them find a job
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THEORY OF MIND AND THE PSYCHEDELIC EXPERIENCE
No full textOvo je jedna od prvih studija koja istražuje opise kognitivnih i afektivnih aspekata teorije uma u izvještajima o psihodeličnim iskustvima s psilocibinom. Koristeći kvalitativni pristup, analizirani su izvještaji o psihodeličnim iskustvima kako bi se identificiralo na koji način korisnici percipiraju vjerovanja i emocije drugih osoba tijekom psihodeličnih iskustava u usporedbi sa znanjima o tipičnoj Teoriji uma. Rezultati su otkrili da psihodelici mogu iskriviti kognitivni Teoriju uma, što dovodi do pogrešnih interpretacija stvarnosti, poput vjerovanja da neživi objekti ili medijski likovi posjeduju intencionalnost. Također je utjecalo na afektivni dio Teorije uma, pri čemu su neki korisnici doživjeli povećanu empatiju, dok su se drugi suočili sa snažnim emocionalnim reakcijama. Ovi rezultati upućuju na složenu povezanost kognitivne i afektivne Teorije uma tijekom psihodeličnih iskustava, ističući potencijalne terapeutske koristi kao i rizike povezane s upotrebom psihodelika. Studija naglašava potrebu za daljnjim istraživanjima kako bi se bolje razumjeli ovi učinci, osobito u kontroliranim terapijskim uvjetima.This is one of the first studies that explores descriptions of cognitive and affective aspects of Theory of Mind (ToM) in reports about psychedelic experiences with psilocybin. Using a qualitative approach, reports of psychedelic experiences were analyzed to identify how users' perceptions of others' beliefs, and emotions during psychedelic experiences are compared to the knowledge about typical ToM. The results revealed that psychedelics can distort cognitive ToM, leading to misinterpretations of reality, such as believing that inanimate objects or media characters possess intentionality. Affective ToM was also impacted, with some users experiencing heightened empathy, while others faced overwhelming emotional responses. These findings suggest a complex interplay between cognitive and affective ToM during psychedelic experiences, highlighting the potential therapeutic benefits as well as risks associated with the use of psychedelics. The study underscores the need for further research to better understand these effects, particularly in controlled therapeutic settings
