The association between emotional competence and some aspects of academic success
No full textEmocionalna kompetencija uključuje emocionalne i socijalne vještine koje utječu na način na koji osoba doživljava, izražava i regulira vlastite emocije. Ljudi koji imaju razvijeniju emocionalnu inteligenciju mogu lako identificirati svoje emocionalno stanje i bolje razumjeti kako su njihove emocije povezane s njihovim ponašanjem i kako utječu na njihov svakodnevni život. Osim toga, ljudi s višom emocionalnom inteligencijom vjerojatnije će prepoznati i razlikovati emocije drugih. Ljudi koji bolje razumiju, izražavaju i kontroliraju svoje emocije, bolje se prilagođavaju novim i nepredvidivim situacijama, što je iznimno važno i u trenutnim okolnostima pandemije, ali i potresa koji su se dogodili u Hrvatskoj. Emocionalna kompetencija važna je za različite aspekte života pojedinca poput akademskog ili poslovnog te za međuljudske odnose općenito.
Cilj ovog diplomskog rada bio je ispitati povezanost emocionalne kompetencije studenata s nekim aspektima akademskog uspjeha kao što su uključenost u zadatke na studiju, ciljne orijentacije, akademsko samopoimanje te uspjeh na studiju. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 248 studenata s različitih sveučilišta u Republici Hrvatskoj, u dobi od 19 do 42 godine, a podaci su prikupljeni online upitnikom. Dobiveni rezultati ukazuju na to da studenti koji imaju veću razinu emocionalne kompetentnosti, imaju više prosječne rezultate na mjerama afektivne i kognitivno-bihevioralne uključenosti u zadatke na studiju, a također imaju i više prosječne procjene akademskog samopoimanja i bolji uspjeh na studiju. S druge strane, nisu dobivene razlike u izraženosti pojedinih ciljnih orijentacija s obzirom na razinu emocionalne kompetencije. U radu je i provjereno postoje li određene razlike između studenata s višom i nižom razinom emocionalne kompetentnosti u doživljaju nekih specifičnosti vezanih uz proteklu akademsku godinu tijekom koje se nastava zbog pandemije Covid-19 većinom održavala online i tijekom koje 86% studenata iz uzorka doživjelo potres. Dobiveni rezultati ukazuju da studenti s višom razinom emocionalne kompetentnosti doživljavaju da su u uvjetima online nastave uspješniji u izvršavanju obaveza vezanih uz fakultet, ali i da su potres doživjeli kao stresniji događaj u usporedbi sa studentima s nižom razinom emocionalne kompetentnosti.Emotional competence includes emotional and social skills that affect the way a person experiences, expresses and regulates his/her own emotions. People with higher emotional intelligence can easily identify their emotional state and better understand how their emotions relate to their behavior and affect their daily lives. In addition, people with higher emotional intelligence are more likely to recognize and distinguish the emotions of others. People who better understand, express and control their emotions also better adapt to new and unpredictable situations, which is extremely important in the current circumstances of the pandemic, but also the earthquakes that happened in Croatia. Emotional competence is important for various aspects of an individual's life, such as academic or professional, and interpersonal relationships in general.
The aim of this research was to explore the association between emotional competence and some aspects of academic success, such as involvement in study assignments, goal orientations, academic self-concept and study success. The research involved 248 students from different universities in Croatia, aged 19 to 42 years, and data were collected by an online questionnaire. The results indicated that students with a higher level of emotional competence have higher average scores on measures of affective and cognitive-behavioral involvement in study assignments and higher average assessments of academic self-perception and better academic achievement. On the other hand, no differences were obtained in the expression of task orientations with the level of emotional competence. The paper also examined whether there are certain differences between students with higher and lower levels of emotional competence in experiencing some specifics related to the previous academic year, during which classes due to the Covid-19 pandemic were mostly held online and during which 86% of students in the sample experienced earthquakes. The obtained results indicated that students with a higher level of emotional competence perceive that in the conditions of online studying, they are more successful in fulfilling obligations related to the faculty, but also that they experienced earthquakes as a more stressful event compared to students with a lower level of emotional competence
Stavovi učenika prema prevođenju na nastavi engleskog jezika u osnovnoj školi
No full textThis paper covers the topic of translation in primary school ESL classes and students’ attitudes towards it. Translation in language learning classes is sometimes a controversial topic. The first association to translation in language learning classes can be the grammar-translation method, which used to be the dominant method of teaching languages. Because of that, an aversion
toward translation in ESL classes has spread among English teachers. However, translation activities used in ESL classes can be much more than the grammar-translation method, as long as the teachers adjust them to their students’ age and proficiency. Opinions on using translation in English classes are divided, which is what motivated this research. The aim of this paper was to research the attitudes of primary school students towards translation as well as their proficiency in it. The research was conducted in a primary school in Zagreb. 42 sixth-grade students participated in the research. The research consisted of two short translation tasks, one from Croatian into English and one from English into Croatian. After completing the translation tasks, the students answered a questionnaire. The students were mostly more successful in the translation of the English text, but they also found it to be more difficult. However, the opinions on what was more difficult were quite divided. While the total number of achieved points was higher for the translation of the English text, the students acquired more points for vocabulary in the translation of the Croatian text. More students expressed a positive attitude towards translation and those students achieved better results than the ones who expressed a negative attitude. However, without further research, it is difficult to conclude what is the cause and what is the result.Ovaj rad bavi se prevođenjem i učeničkim stavovima prema prevođenju na nastavi engleskog u osnovnoj školi. Prevođenje u nastavi jezika ponekad je kontroverzna tema. Pri spomenu prevođenja u nastavi jezika, nekima prva asocijacija može biti metoda prevođenja gramatike, koja je nekoć bila najzastupljeniji način poučavanja jezika. Zbog toga se kod nekih učitelja stvorila averzija prema prevođenju na nastavi engleskog jezika. No, aktivnosti koje uključuju prevođenje u nastavi engleskog mogu biti puno opširnije i zanimljivije od metode prevođenja gramatike. Najbitnije je da učitelji aktivnosti prilagode dobi, znanju i sposobnostima svojih učenika. Mišljenja o korištenju prevođenja u nastavi engleskog veoma su podijeljena, što je jedan od čimbenika koji su motivirali ovo istraživanje. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je istražiti stavove osnovnoškolskih učenika prema prevođenju. Cilj je također bio istražiti njihovu vještinu prevođenja. Istraživanje je provedeno u jednoj zagrebačkoj školi. U istraživanju su sudjelovala 42 učenika. Istraživanje se sastoji od dva kratka teksta koja su učenici trebali prevesti; jedan s hrvatskog na engleski i drugi s engleskog na hrvatski. Nakon prevođenja, učenici su ispunili kratku anketu. Učenici su većinom bili uspješniji u prevođenju engleskog teksta. Istovremeno, u anketi su taj zadatak proglasili težim. No, mišljenja o tome koji je smjer i koji su dijelovi bili kompliciraniji, veoma su podijeljena. Učenici su postigli veći broj bodova za prijevod engleskog teksta. Za vokabular su postigli više bodova u prijevodu hrvatskog teksta. Više studenata izrazilo je pozitivni stav nego negativni. Učenici koji su izrazili pozitivne stavove bili su i uspješniji u prijevodu. No, bez daljnjeg istraživanja teško je razabrati uzrok od posljedice
Required Reading, Literature And Creativity In Primary Education
No full textU nižim razredima osnovne škole lektira, književnost i stvaralaštvo osnovni su dijelovi nastave hrvatskoga jezika. U ovom diplomskom radu opisuje se sustav lektire, književnosti, odnosno dječje književnosti i stvaralaštvo, odnosno stvaralački zadaci na nastavi hrvatskoga jezika. Učenici od 1. do 4. razreda osnovne škole redovito se susreću s lektirnim djelima te se ovaj diplomski rad bavi ponajviše opisom lektirnih satova, strukturom nastavnog sata lektire i kreativnošću učenika. Međutim, kako bi sat lektire bio uspješan potrebno je poći od važnost čitanja i razvijanje čitateljskih navika kod učenika ove dobne skupine, o čemu se posvećujem u prvom djelu ovog diplomskog rada. Nadalje, lektira je sastavni dio književnosti, stoga će biti riječi o književnosti te njenoj prilagođenosti dječjoj dobi. Stvaralački zadatci koji potiču kreativnost učenika ovise o znanju i sposobnostima učitelja. U svrhu ovog diplomskog rada održala sam blok sat lektire Petar Pan autora James Matthew Barrieja. Iskustva i znanja koja sam stekla bit će prikazana na kraju ovog diplomskog rada, u istraživačkom dijelu rada. Također ću iznijeti svoje ciljeve i iskustva te prikazati učeničke radove.In the lower grades of primary school, reading, literature and creativity are the basic parts of teaching the Croatian language. This diploma thesis describes the system of reading, literature, relatively children's literature and creativity for creative tasks in Croatian language teaching. Pupils from 1st to 4th grade of primary school regularly encounter reading works, and this thesis deals mainly with the description of reading lessons, the structure of the reading lesson and students' creativity. However, in order for a reading lesson to be successful, it is necessary to start from the importance of reading and developing reading habits in pupils of this age group, which I discuss in the first part of this thesis. Furthermore, reading is an integral part of literature, so we will talk about literature and its adaptation to children's age. Creative tasks that encourage student creativity depend on the knowledge and abilities of the teacher. For the purpose of this dissertation, I held a block class of Peter Pan reading by James Matthew Barrie. The experience and knowledge I have gained will be presented at the end of this thesis, in the research part of the paper. I will also present my goals and experiences and present pupil work
Music intervention in operating with children with speech difficulties in primary education
No full textTema ovog rada je glazba kao medij u radu s djecom s govornim poteškoćama u primarnom obrazovanju. Učenici s govorno-jezičnim teškoćama uključeni su u redovne ili prilagođene programe nastave u redovnim osnovnim školama.. Kako bi integracija i inkluzija učenika s govorno-jezičnim teškoćama bila što uspješnija, od učitelja se očekuje kompetentnost, stručnost i profesionalnost. Uporaba glazbe kao medija u redovnoj nastavi, rehabilitaciji ili terapiji, može pozitivno utjecati na osobu. Glazba i govor imaju zajedničke karakteristike i vrednote. Stoga je cilj rada predstaviti vrste govornih poteškoća koje se mogu javiti kod učenika primarnog obrazovanja, te su prikazane glazbeno-terapijske metode kojima se može pozitivno djelovati u ublažavanju i poboljšanju govornih problema. Također se predstavlja i mogućnost izvannastavne aktivnosti kojom se pomoću glazbenih aktivnosti može terapijski djelovati na govorne poteškoće. Za kvalitetan napredak učenika izuzetno je važna suradnja učitelja, roditelja i stručne službe, a dodatnom edukacijom učitelj može postati glazbeni terapeut te tako aktivno sudjelovati u prepoznavanju, upućivanju na rehabilitaciju i samoj rehabilitaciji djeteta s govornim teškoćama.The topic of this paper is music intervention in operating with children with speech difficulties in primary education. Students with speech and language difficulties are included in regular or adapted teaching programs in regular elementary schools. In order for the integration and inclusion of students with speech and language difficulties to be as successful as possible, competence, expertise and professionalism are expected from teachers. The use of music as a media in regular classes, rehabilitation or therapy can have a positive effect on a person. Music and speech have common characteristics and values. Therefore, the aim of the paper is to present the types of speech difficulties that can occur in primary education students, and music therapy methods that can be used to alleviate and improve speech problems are presented. The possibility of an extracurricular activity is also presented, with the help of musical activities, it is possible to have a therapeutic effect on speech difficulties. The cooperation of teachers, parents and professional services is extremely important for the quality progress of students, and with additional education a teacher can become a music therapist and thus actively participate in the recognition, referral to rehabilitation and the actual rehabilitation of a child with speech difficulties
Application Of Information And Communication Technology In Primary Education
No full textU ovom diplomskom radu obavljeno je istraživanje o primjeni informacijskokomunikacijske tehnologije u razrednoj nastavi. Pod pojmom informacijsko-komunikacijska tehnologija u ovom radu smatra se sva digitalna oprema kao što su tableti, laptopi, računala te svi digitalni alati koji se mogu koristiti u poboljšanju nastave. Kroz ovaj rad anketnim upitnikom dobiveni su traženi odgovori na postavljene hipoteze. Informacijsko-komunikacijska tehnologija sastavni je dio života te utječe na sve aspekte ljudskih života, iako možda nitko nije toga svjestan. Teško je danas zamisliti život bez tehnologije koja uvelike olakšava život. No, kao i sve u životu, tako i tehnologija ima svoje pozitivne strane i svoje negativne stvari.
Gledajući unazad petnaestak godina, može se vidjeti kako je informacijskokomunikacijska tehnologija uvelike utjecala na područje školstva i obrazovanja. Nitko nije mogao zamisliti da će pametne ploče zamijeniti „zelene ploče“, da će grafoskopi biti zamijenjeni projektorom, da će učenici nastavne jedinice uvježbavati i ponavljati na tabletima. Moglo bi se reći kako je upravo informacijsko-komunikacijska tehnologija u obrazovanju najviše došla do izražaja za vrijeme pandemije COVID-19 kada su svi učitelji, profesori i učenici bili prisiljeni preseliti se iz svojih fizičkih učionica u one virtualne učionice. Učitelji i profesori bili su prisiljeni rukovati informacijsko-komunikacijskom tehnologijom, iako možda do tada nikada nisu koristili određene alate koje su tada trebali koristiti.In this thesis, research was conducted on the application of information and communication technology in education. The concept of information and communication technology in this paper is considered digital equipment as tablets, laptops, computers and all digital tools that can be used to improve teaching. Through this work, the required answers to the set hypotheses were obtained with survey questionnaire. Information and communication technology is an huge part of live and affects on all aspects of human life, although no one is aware of it. It is hard today to imagine life without technology that makes life so much easier. But like everything in life, technology has its positive sides and its negative things. Looking back fifteen years, one can see how information and communication technology has greatly influenced the field of schooling and education. No one could have imagined that smart boards would replace "green boards", that the overhead projector would be replaced by a projector, that children in school would practice and repeat on tablets.
It could be said that information and communication technology in education came to the fore during the COVID-19 pandemic, when all teachers, professors and students were forced to move from their physical classrooms to virtual classrooms. Teachers and professors were forced to handle information and communication technology, although they may never have used certain tools
Media literacy with comics in the classroom on the example of the series Hilda and Višnjas diary
No full textPotencijal stripa u razrednoj nastavi nedovoljnoj je iskorišten. Posljednjih godina postoje istraživanja koja pokazuju kako strip otvara nova vrata počecima motiviranja dječjeg čitanja što vraća nadu u veću zastupljenost stripa u razrednoj nastavi. Time će strip stvoriti novi potencijal za širenje interesa za daljnjim čitanjem. Stripovi su do sada bili viđeni samo po svome komičnom karakteru bez pogleda na njih kao potencijal za neke dublje teme i način motiviranja na čitanje. Dobar i raznovrstan čitatelj se postaje postupno, stoga nastavnik treba pažljivo planirati kako približiti učenicima temu i djelo, a da pri tome ne stvori otpor. Uključivanjem stripa u razrednu nastavu obogatit će se buduća medijska pismenost učenika, a usporedbom serijala Hilda i Višnjin dnevnik u ovom radu, proširit će se dosadašnji pogled na razliku dvaju serijala i njihova primjerenost u primjeni unutar razredne nastave.The potential of comics in the classroom is underrepresented. In recent years, there is research showing that comics opens new doors to the beginnings of motivating children's reading, which restores hope for greater representation of comics in the classroom. This will create new potential for the comic to spread interest in further reading. Comics have so far been seen only for their comical character, without looking at them as a potential for some deeper themes and a way to motivate them to read. A good and diverse reader becomes gradual, so the teachers should carefully plan how to bring the topic and work closer to the students without creating resistance. The inclusion of comics in the classroom will enrich student’s future media literacy, and by comparing the series Hilda and Višnja’s Diary in this work, we will expand our current view on the difference between the two series and their appropriateness in classroom use
The influence of medieval folk music on children's creation
No full textOvim radom istraživao se utjecaj srednjovjekovne narodne glazbe na dječje stvaralaštvo kao načina izražavanja. Glazba je oduvijek bila prisutna u životima ljudi te se ovim istraživanjem htjelo pokazati kako će djeca reagirati na glazbu Srednjeg vijeka. Ovaj rad ukratko opisuje Srednji vijek kroz njegove opće značajke, zatim kroz glazbu vremena, ples te ljudsko shvaćanje boji i simbolike istih. Cilj rada bio je dokazati važnost različitih vrsti skladbi koje bi trebale biti prisutne u ranom predškolskom odgoju. Metode istraživanja koje su bile korištene za približavanje teme bile su kazalište kao motivacija i uvod u temu, slikanje po plahti, srednjovjekovni ples, razgovor gdje je svako dijete moglo izraziti svoje mišljenje i priča koja se prenosi dugi niz godina. U istraživanju je sudjelovala jedna skupina djece predškolske dobi starosti od šest do sedam godina. Kroz umjetničke sadržaje skupini je prikazan i opisan Srednji vijek uz sva njegova obilježja. Umjetničko izražavanje bitan je dio odrastanja te je važno da se djeci ponude mnoge prilike za razvijanje istog. Promatrali su se i poticali dječji načini izražavanja, kako verbalno tako i neverbalno. Posebice se pratio njihov odabir boja i oblika u likovnom radu slikanja po plahti. Djecu je obradovala mogućnost samostalnog biranja motiva za slikanje te zajedničko provođenje aktivnosti. S djecom je potrebno više raditi na motorici i ravnoteži te je u odgojno-obrazovne ustanove potrebno uvesti više plesa kako bi se poticalo pravilno držanje tijela, ali i stvaralaštvo te ritmičnost. Time bi se potaknula ugodna atmosfera unutar skupine, ali i bolje raspoloženje svakog djeteta. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su velik interes za Srednji vijek i glazbu tog vremena.This thesis examined the influence of medieval folk music on children's creation as a way of expression. Music has always been present in the life of men and this research wanted to show how the children will react to the music of the Medieval age. This thesis briefly describes Medieval age through its basic features, then through the music of the era, dance and the human perception of colors and their meaning. The goal of this thesis was to prove the significance of different types of compositions that should be present in early preschool education. The research methods which were used to present the topic were theatre as a motivation and introduction to the topic, painting on a sheet, medieval dance, discussion where every child could express their opinion and a story that has been passed for many years. One group of preschool children aged between six and seven participated in the research. Through artistic contents, Medieval age was shown and described to the group with all of its features. Artistic expression is an important part of growing up and it is important that the children are offered many occasions to develop it. Children's way of expression was observed and encouraged, verbally as in non-verbally. Their choice of color and shapes was carefully observed during the art project of painting on a sheet. The children were happy because they had the possibility of choosing what they want to paint and they liked the group activity. It is necessary to work more on motor skills and balance with children and preschool facilities should include more dancing to encourage correct body posture, but also creation and rhythm. That would encourage positive atmospfere among the group, but also better overall mood of every child. The results of the research showed a great interest in Medieval age and the music of that time
Flat feet in preschool age
No full textStopalo je temelj ljudske anatomije, baza lokomotornog stupa. Ono djeluje statički i dinamički, ovisno o mirovanju ili kretanju ljudskog tijela. Kroz evoluciju čovjeka stopalo je prolazilo anatomske promjene prilagođavajući se okolini i životnim navikama. Suvremeni čovjek preuzima u velikoj mjeri sjedilački način života koji narušava njegove motoričke sposobnosti i zdravstveno stanje.
Spušteno stopalo najučestaliji je deformitet donjih ekstremiteta današnjice. Nastaje popuštanjem svodova koji oblikuju luk te slabljenjem mišića i koštano-ligamentnog kompleksa. Javlja se bez obzira na dob a najosjetljivija su djeca koja su u fazi ubrzanog rasta i razvoja. Uzroci deformacije stopala mogu biti nasljedne okolnosti, konstitucija tijela i premalo kretanja. Ukoliko je svod stopala potpuno spušten govori se o ravnom stopalu. Status stopala kod odraslih i djece moguće je dijagnosticirati raznim uređajima i metodama.
Mnoga istraživanja bave se problemom spuštenog stopala kod djece s ciljem povezivanja uzročnika spomenute deformacije. Cilj je ovog rada utvrditi postoji li utjecaj spola na spušteno stopalo i utječe li u dječjoj dobi tjelesna težina svojim opterećenjem na pojavu spuštenog stopala. Istraživanje je provedeno u gradu Zagrebu u jednoj predškolskoj ustanovi. U istraživanje je bilo uključeno 64 ispitanika starosne dobi 6-7 godina (30 dječaka i 34 djevojčica). Otisci stopala djece dobivena su podografom nakon čega su stopala klasificirana Mayerovom metodom.
Antropometrijska mjerenja provedena su mjerenjem tjelesne težine i tjelesne visine unutar predškolske institucije. Podaci su prikazani grafovima i statistički obrađeni Hi kvadrat testom. Rezultati istraživanja dokazali su teze da ne postoji utjecaj spola na pojavu spuštenog stopala kod djece predškolske dobi, kao ni utjecaj tjelesne težine. Od 64 uzoraka kod njih 37% je utvrđen status spuštenog stopala od čega kod dječaka 47% a kod djevojčica 27%. Indeks tjelesne mase kod slučajeva spuštenog stopala pokazao je prosjek od 16,32 kod djevojčica i 15,42 kod dječaka. Box plot grafom prikazana je raspršenost unesenih podataka, za oba spola zajedno i pojedinačno za svaki. Hi kvadrat testom potvrđena je hipoteza da nema značajne statističke razlike povezanosti spola i statusa stopala, što potvrđuje istraživanje Fung, Dias Ismiarto i Mayasari (2017) i istraživanje Kahile, Deshmukh, Muley i Suryawanshi (2020). Potvrđena je i hipoteza da ne postoji značajna statistička razlika između stanja uhranjenosti i statusa stopala.The foot builds the basis of human anatomy and its locomotor system. It acts statically and dynamically while, depending on the dynamics of the human body. Throughout human evolution, the foot underwent anatomical changes adapting to the environment and lifestyle. Modern man adopted a sedentary lifestyle to a large extent, which impairs his motor skills and health.
Flat foot (pes planus) is the most common deformity of the lower extremities today. It is caused by the loosening of the arch, weakening of the muscles and the bone-ligament complex. It occurs regardless of age, but mostly in children who are in the phase of accelerated growth and development. The causes of foot deformities can be hereditary circumstances, body constitution and too little movement. If the arch of the foot is completely lowered, it is called a flat foot. The status of the feet in adults and children can be diagnosed with various instruments and methods.
Many studies deal with the subject of flat foot in children with the aim of linking the causes of the deformity. This paper aims to investigate possible influence of gender and body weight on flat foot in preschool children. The research was conducted in a preschool institucion in the city of Zagreb. It includes 64 respondents, aged 6 to 7 years (30 boys and 34 girls). Children's footprints were obtained by a podographer, after which they were qualified by Mayer's method.
Anthropometric measurements were performed by measuring body weight and body height within the preschool facilities.
The data are presented in graphs and statistically processed with the Chi-square test. The results of the research proved the thesis that there is no influence of gender on flat foot in preschool children, nor that there is an influence of body weight. Out of 64 samples, Out of 64 samples, 37% showed flat foot deformity (47% of boys and 27% of girls). The body mass index in flat foot showed an average of 16.32 in girls and 15.42 in boys. A box plot graph shows the dispersion of the entered data, for both genders together and individually for each. The Chi-square test confirmed the thesis that there is no significant statistical difference between the gender and foot status, and this thesis research by Fung, Dias Ismiarto and Mayasari (2017) and research by Kahile, Deshmukh, Muley and Suryawanshi (2020). The thesis that there is no significant statistical difference between the nutritional status of the children and the status of the feet was also confirmed
The Negative Effects of Modern Technology Usage on Physical Activity in Preschool C
No full texttime i neizbježan dio dječje svakodnevnice. Aktualne vodeće smjernice o tjelesnoj aktivnosti i screen timeu predškolske djece preporučuju najmanje 120 minuta tjelesne aktivnosti na dan te izloženost programskom sadržaju ne više od sat vremena dnevno. Cilj ovog završnog rada bio je ispitati postoji li negativan utjecaj dostupnosti tehnologije na tjelesnu aktivnost predškolske djece. Prikupljeni podaci dobiveni su metodom ankete koja je podijeljena na društvenoj mreži Facebook, a u istraživanju je sudjelovalo 30 ispitanika koji imaju djecu starosne dobi 5-7 godina. Dobiveni rezultati upućuju na odrastanje predškolske djece u medijski zasićenim kućanstvima s više elektroničkih uređaja. Iako su im na raspolaganju različiti uređaji koji pripadaju tradicionalnim i novim medijima, istraživanje je u najvećoj mjeri zabilježilo poštovanje općih preporuka i smjernica za djecu predškolske dobi o tjelesnoj aktivnosti i ukupnom vremenu provedenom ispred ekrana. Prema dobivenim rezultatima, ne može se zaključiti kako dostupnost tehnologije utječe negativno na tjelesnu aktivnost predškolske djece jer prema rezultatima istraživanja vrijeme provedeno u slobodnoj igri i aktivnostima na otvorenom nadilazi preporučene smjernice. Iako imaju pristup raznim tehnološkim uređajima, rekeracijske aktivnosti na otvorenom poput šetnje i sportskih igara najčešći su odabir zajedničkog provođenja slobodnog vremena djece i roditelja, a djeca gotovo polovice ispitanika pohađa dodatne sportske aktivnosti. Iako rezultati istraživanja nisu poražavajući, upravo razdoblje ranog djetinjstva, odnosno predškolske dobi smatra se kritičnim razdobljem za usvajanje navika zdravog života. Od iznimne važnosti je od najranije dobi poticati i razvijati ljubav prema tjelesnoj aktivnosti, a njeno usvajanje će rezultirati pozitivnim zdravstvenim ishodima koji se mogu pratiti i u odrasloj dobi.Technological devices such as tablets, smartphones and others are part of almost every household, and therefore an inevitable part of children's everyday life. Current leading guidelines on physical activity and screen time for preschool children recommend at least 120 minutes of physical activity per day and exposure to program content for no more than an hour per day. The aim of this final paper was to examine whether there is a negative impact of the availability of technology on the physical activity of preschool children. The collected data was obtained by the method of a survey that was shared on the social network Facebook, 30 respondents who have children aged 5-7 years participated in the research. The obtained results point to preschool children growing up in media-saturated households with more electronic devices. Although they have at their disposal various devices that belong to traditional and new media, the research recorded to the greatest extent the respect of general recommendations and guidelines for preschool children regarding physical activity and screen time. According to the obtained results, it cannot be concluded that the availability of technology has a negative effect on the physical activity of preschool children, because according to the research results, the time spent in free play and outdoor activities exceeds the recommended guidelines. Although they have access to various technological devices, outdoor recreational activities such as walking and sports games are the most common choices for joint free time of children and parents. Furthermore, children of almost half of the respondents participate in additional sports activities. Although the results of the research are not devastating, it is the period of early childhood, i.e. preschool age, that is considered a critical period for the adoption of healthy life habits. It is extremely important to encourage and nurture a love for physical activity from an early age, and it will result in positive health outcomes that can be followed even in adulthood
Prevention of obesity in primary education
No full textPretilost je kronična bolest koja je tijekom posljednjih deset godina poprimila značajke svjetske pandemije. Prekomjerna uhranjenost i pretilost su najslabije kontrolirani javnozdravstveni problemi koji zahtijevaju preventivne i terapijske zahvate. Pretilost karakterizira prekomjerna količina tjelesne masti u ukupnoj tjelesnih masi koja je opasna za zdravlje pojedinca. U radu se navode statistički podaci koji pokazuju trajno rastući broj pretjerano uhranjenih osoba u svijetu, Europi i Hrvatskoj. Prikazana je klasifikacija i dijagnostika pretilosti, čimbenici nastanka pretilosti te njezin utjecaj na fizičko i psihičko stanje pojedinca. Istraživanjem se analizira prevalencija prekomjerne tjelesne težine kod učenika 3. razreda osnovne škole u Sisku. Provedena su antropometrijska mjerenja visine i težine učenika, iz tih podataka se izračunao indeks tjelesne mase (ITM). Cilj istraživanja je utvrditi stupanj prevalencije prekomjerne tjelesne težine i pretilosti kod učenika 3. razreda osnovne škole, analizirati podatke i usporediti s kategorijama uhranjenosti za dob, sukladno kriterijima CDC-a (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 47 učenika oba spola, od čega 24 dječaka i 23 djevojčice. Uzorak čine učenici u dobi od 9,0 do 10,0 godina. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da većina učenika pripada stupnju normalne uhranjenosti koji iznosi 63,8%, ali postotak je znatno niži od očekivane vrijednosti od 80% prema kriterijima CDC-a. Prekomjernu tjelesnu masu ima 17,0% učenika, dok je 12,8% učenika pretilo.
