Reflection of preschool teacher in encouraging the development of the child's self-image
No full textSuvremena uloga odgojitelja je ona gdje je odgojitelj refleksivni praktičar i akcijski istraživač koji stalno promišlja o svom radu i njegovom unapređenju. Važno je preispitivati vlastite intervencije, pronalaziti načine kako se ispravljati te unapređenje prakse temeljiti na rezultatima evaluacije. Odgojitelji ne trebaju biti poučavatelji-predavači već znatiželjni promatrači učenja i njihovog vlastitog poučavanja kroz stvaranje kvalitetnog okruženja. Cilj istraživačkog rada bio je otkriti kakav je doprinos refleksije u svrhu poticanju razvoja djetetove pozitivne slike o sebi. Na temelju različitih podataka željelo se dobiti uvid u primjenu refleksije odgojiteljice u svakodnevnoj odgojno-obrazovnoj praksi i u sklopu poticanja razvoja djetetove slike o sebi. Nastojalo se dubinski analizirati stavove odgojiteljice o refleksiji i načinu njena korištenja, osobito u svrhu razvoja djetetove slike o sebi. Podaci su prikupljeni i analizirani primjenom različitih metoda i istraživačkih faza: profesionalna biografija i ključna postignuća u karijeri odgojiteljice; analiza institucijskoga okruženja; tematska analiza intervjua s odgojiteljicom. Doprinos refleksije odgojitelja u poticanju razvoja djetetove slike u ovom istraživanju govori o profesionalcu koji stalno preispituje svoj rad i unapređuje svoju profesionalnu praksu kako bi što bolje mogao zadovoljiti djetetove potrebe. Ispitanica navodi kako je refleksija i samorefleksija bitna jer je to način na koji odgojitelj raste u svom radu, tu uočava svoje jake i slabe strane na koje može utjecati i na kojima može raditi i poboljšati ih. Od tehnike refleksije najviše ističe korištenje foto/video dokumentacije. Naime, analiziranjem fotografija i videozapisa odgojiteljica uviđa ponašanja djece, njihova razmišljanja, interese te njihove pozitivne i negativne karakteristike . U provedenom istraživanju vidimo važnost zajedničke refleksije koja predstavlja suradnju profesionalaca u svrhu razvoja pozitivne slike kod djece. Ispitanica potiče zajedničku refleksiju među odgojiteljima u odgojno-obrazovnoj ustanovi u kojoj radi kako bi zajedničkim snagama unaprijedili svoj odgojno-obrazovni rad.The contemporary role of the preschool teacher is one where the preschool teacher is a reflective practitioner and action researcher who constantly reflects on his work and its improvement. It is important to review one's own interventions, to find ways to correct oneself and to base the improvement of practice on the results of the evaluation. Preschool teachers should not be teachers-lecturers, but curious observers of learning and their own teaching through the creation of a quality environment. The goal of the research work was to find out the contribution of reflection in order to encourage the development of a child's positive self-image. Based on various data, wanted to gain insight into the application of the teacher's reflection in everyday educational practice and as part of encouraging the development of the child's self-image. An effort was made to analyze in depth the teacher's views on reflection and how to use it, especially for the purpose of developing the child's self-image. The data was collected and analyzed using different methods and research phases: professional biography and key achievements in the career of the preschool teacher, analysis of the institutional environment; thematic analysis of the interview with the preschool teacher. The contribution of the teacher's reflection in encouraging the development of the child's image in this research speaks of a professional who constantly reviews his work and improves his professional practice in order to best meet the child's needs. The respondent states that reflection and self-reflection is important because it is the way in which the preschool teacher grows in his work, it is where he notices his strenghts and weaknesses that he can influence and work on and improve. Of the reflection techniques, the use of the photo/video documentation stands out the most. Namely, by analyzing photos and videos, the teacher sees children's behaviors, their thoughts, interests, and their positive and negative characteristics. In the conducted research, we see the importance of joint reflection, which represents the cooperation of professionals for the purpose of developing a positive image in children. The respondent encourages joint reflection among educators in the educational institution where she works in order to improve their educational work with joint efforts
Awareness assessment in parents of preschool aged children regarding the depiction of violence in animated films
No full textDjeci predškolske dobi animirani filmovi dio su igre. Oni razvijaju maštu i jezične sposobnosti, no mogu i negativno utjecati na djecu. Danas je dostupno mnoštvo animiranih filmova koji u sebi mogu imati prikaz nasilnih scena. Kroz igru djeca mogu oponašati scene iz animiranih filmova, a pretjerana gledanost takvog sadržaja može dovesti i do agresivnog ponašanja. Roditelji bi trebali biti upućeni u sadržaj animiranog filma kojeg djeca gledaju i kroz razgovor s djetetom objasniti im što se dogodilo, zašto se dogodilo i koje su posljedice određenog ponašanja. Istraživanje je provedeno s ciljem provjere osviještenosti roditelja o prikazu nasilnih scena u animiranim filmovima te su ispitani postupci i stavovi roditelja o animiranim filmovima. Istraživanje je provedeno na području grada Osijeka, metodom online anketnog upitnika koji je bio namijenjen roditeljima djece predškolske dobi. U istraživanju je sudjelovao 171 roditelj, od čega 87,1% (N=149) čine žene, a 12,9% (N=22) čine muškarci. Rezultati su pokazali razlike između najvišeg završenog stupnja obrazovanja i sati gledanja sati animiranog filma, u kojem je dokazano da djeca roditelja koji su završili diplomski studij su u prosjeku manje vremena provodila gledajući animirane filmove nego djeca od roditelja koji su završili srednju školu. Također, dokazano je da su roditelji koji su završili diplomski studij u prosjeku više birali animirane filmove nego roditelji koji su završili preddiplomski studij. Analizom serijala kratkometražnih filmova Psići u ophodnji, Maša i Medvjed i Kuća obitelji Glasnić te rezultatima ispitanih roditelja dokazano je da roditelji nisu svjesni prikaza nasilnih scena u ponuđenim animiranim filmovima. Radom se nastoji osvijestiti važnost upoznatosti sa sadržajem animiranog filma kojeg djeca predškolske dobi gledaju.Animated films form a part of preschool children's play. They develop imagination and language skills, but they can also have a negative effect on children. Today, there are many animated films available to children that may show violent scenes. Through the play, children can imitate scenes from animated films and excessive viewing of such content can lead to aggressive behaviour. Parents should be informed about the content of the animated film that the children are watching, and through a conversation with the child, explain what and why something happened in the movie and what are the consequences of such behaviour. The research was conducted with the aim of checking the awareness of parents about the depiction of violent scenes in animated films and to examine the actions and attitudes of parents about animated films. The research was conducted in the City of Osijek, using the method of an online questionnaire that was intended for parents of preschool children. 171 parents participated in the research, of which 87.1% (N=149) are women, and 12.9% (N=22) are men. The results showed differences between the highest completed level of education and hours of watching animated films, in which it was proven that children of parents who completed graduate studies spent less time watching animated films on average than children of parents who completed only high school. Also, it was proven that parents who completed graduate studies chose animated films more on average than parents who completed undergraduate studies. The analysis of the series of short films Paw Patrol, Masha and the Bear and The Loud House, and the results of parents, proved that parents are not aware of the depiction of violent scenes in the animated films that are offered in the questionnaire. The work aims to raise awareness of the importance of familiarity with the content of animated films that preschool children watch
Effects of programmed physical exercise on motor status of preschool children
No full textRazdoblje djetinjstva kompleksno je razdoblje života jer sadržajno obuhvaća širok spektar sposobnosti i znanja koja se u toj dobi razvijaju i usvajaju. U današnje vrijeme, kada je u sve većoj mjeri zastupljen sedentaran način života, od ključne je važnosti kod djece razvijati pozitivne osjećaje prema tjelesnom vježbanju od najranije dobi. Obzirom da se tjelesnom aktivnošću predškolske djece u sve većoj mjeri bave ustanove poput dječjih vrtića, uz motiviranost i uključenost potrebna je i educiranost odgojitelja kako bi kroz proces pravilnog planiranja i provođenja aktivnosti tjelesnog vježbanja došlo do napretka u razvoju djeteta na svim područjima. Analizom dosadašnjih istraživanja dokazano je kako programirano tjelesno vježbanje pozitivno utječe na djetetove motoričke sposobnosti. U cijelom procesu vježbanja bitnu ulogu imaju i stavovi odgojitelja i roditelja prema vježbanju te je motiviranje i pružanje podrške djeci neizostavan dio prakse ukoliko se kod djece želi razviti dobre navike i pozitivne osjećaje prema tjelesnim aktivnostima.The childhood period is a complex period of life as it encompasses a wide range of abilities and knowledge that are, content-wise, being developed and acquired at that age. Nowadays, due to the increasingly prevalent sedentary lifestyle, it is of the utmost importance to develop positive feelings towards physical exercise among children from an early age. Given that physical activity of the pre-school children is increasingly handled by institutions such as kindergartens, the education of those who educate is needed, along with their motivation and involvement, so that through the process of proper planning, programming and implementation of physical exercise activities, a progress in the development of the child in all areas would be noted. The analysis of previous research has proven how programmed physical exercise has a positive effect on the child's motor skills. In the overall exercise process, the attitudes of educators and parents towards exercise also play an important role, while motivating and providing support to children are indispensable part of practice in order to develop good habits and positive feelings regarding the physical activity among children
Children's drawing as a means of communication
No full textDječji crtež jedan je od učinkovitih načina komunikacije putem likovnog izražavanja koji djeci omogućuje da izraze sebe, svoje emocije i unutrašnje konflikte na neverbalan način. Ovaj rad napisan je s ciljem što boljeg razumijevanja i što učinkovitijeg korištenja dječjeg crteža kao komunikacijskog sredstva.
U prvom dijelu rada opisan je pojam likovnog izraza djece te faze razvoja dječjeg crteža koje započinju fazom istraživanja primarnim simbolima, zatim prelaze u fazu izražavanja složenim simbolima, fazu intelektualnog realizma te završavaju ulaskom u fazu vizualnog realizma. Faze slijede jedna drugu no svako dijete iz jedne u drugu prelazi individualnim ritmom. Svaka od navedenih faza razvoja ima svoje specifičnosti koje se vežu uz cjeloviti razvoj djeteta.
Iduća poglavlja opisuju crtež kao komunikacijsko sredstvo te način analize crteža kako bi u njemu mogli prepoznati poruke koje nam dijete šalje i iz njih izvući određene zaključke. Crtež kao sredstvo komunikacije prikazan je iz kuta gledanja tematike dječjeg crteža pri čemu je opisano što nam dijete crtanjem određene tematike poručuje te koji su najčešći simboli koje dijete prikazuje, emocija u dječjem crtežu pri čemu je posebno naglašena vrijednost neverbalnog načina izražavanja za iskazivanje emocija, veličina kao pokazatelja što je djetetu u crtežu posebno važno te značenja boja kojima dijete šalje određenu poruku.
Posebna podpoglavlja unutar rada posvećena su opisu korištenja crteža u dijagnostičke svrhe pri čemu su opisani poznati testovi za dijagnostiku te način komunikacije pomoću crteža s djecom s teškoćama intelektualne prirode, psihičkim poremećajima te autizmom.
Na kraju rada prikazano je izražavanje dječjih emocija kroz likovnu aktivnost provedenu u dječjem vrtiću te je navedeno nekoliko zaključnih riječi koje govore o važnosti crteža kao komunikacijskog sredstva.Children's drawing is one of the effective ways of communication through artistic expression that allows children to express themselves, their emotions and inner conflicts in a non-verbal way. This paper is written with the aim of better understanding and more effective use of children's drawing as a means of communication.
In the first part of the paper, the concept of children's artistic expression and the stages of development of children's drawing are described, which begin with the phase of research with primary symbols, then move to the phase of expression with complex symbols, the phase of intellectual realism and end with entering the phase of visual realism. The phases follow one another, but each child moves from one to the next at an individual pace. Each of the mentioned stages of development has its own specifics that are related to the complete development of the child.
The following chapters describe the drawing as a means of communication and a way of analyzing the drawing so that we can recognize the messages that the child sends us and draw certain conclusions from them. Drawing as a means of communication is presented from the point of view of the theme of a children's drawing, where it is described what the child is telling us by drawing a certain theme and what are the most common symbols that the child shows, emotion in the children's drawing, where the value of non-verbal expression for expressing emotions is particularly emphasized, size as an indicator of what is particularly important to the child in the drawing and the meaning of the colors with which the child sends a certain message.
Special sub-chapters within the paper are dedicated to the description of the use of drawings for diagnostic purposes, where known diagnostic tests are described, as well as the method of communication using drawings with children with intellectual disabilities, mental disorders and autism.
At the end of the paper, the expression of children's emotions through an art activity carried out in a kindergarten is shown, and a few concluding words are stated that speak about the importance of drawing as a means of communication
Montessori Didactic Materials In Primary Education
No full textMaria Montessori jedna je od najvažnijih osoba modernog odgoja. Svoj život posvetila je zastupanju prava djeteta i dokazivanju njegovih intelektualnih sposobnosti. Temeljno načelo njene pedagogije je „pomozi mi da to sam učinim“. Njezina odgojna metoda zasnivala se na samopoučavanju i samoodgoju. Smatrala je da dijete treba imati slobodu izbora te samo odlučivati prema svojim potrebama i interesima. Naglašavala je važnost odnosa između djeteta i njegova okruženja. Pripremljena okolina ima značajnu ulogu u realizaciji odgojnih ciljeva te je primjerena potrebama djeteta i djetetu nudi sve što mu je potrebno za tjelesni, spoznajni i socijalni razvoj. Montessori učionica je posebno uređen prostor za rad i učenje. Dijete spoznaje svijet kroz igru, a dojmove o vanjskom svijetu prikuplja osjetilima vida, dodira, sluha, mirisa i okusa. Stoga je Maria Montessori osmislila didaktičke materijale pomoću kojih djeca mogu spoznati veze i odnose koji vladaju u svijetu. Materijal je nazvala „ključem koji otvara vrata svijeta“. Materijal je izrađen od prirodnog materijala i svojom dimenzijom odgovara dječjoj ruci. Ovaj diplomski rad donosi pregled Montessori didaktičkih materijala za nastavu matematike, hrvatskog jezika, prirode i društva, glazbene i likovne kulture. Opisan je izgled Montessori materijala i svaki je materijal potkrijepljen fotografijom. Navedeni su ciljevi njihove upotrebe i opisane vježbe koje učitelj može provesti u razredu. Cilj ovog rada je proširiti saznanja o mogućnostima korištenja Montessori didaktičkih materijala u razrednoj nastavi kako bi se nastavni sadržaj na zanimljiv i jednostavan način prenio djeci. U radu se naglašava odnos između učenika i učitelja. Učitelj treba biti vesela, strpljiva, mirna i nježna osoba, a prije svega treba voljeti djecu i imati poštovanje prema njima.Proučavanjem literature može se zaključiti da postoji mnogo Montessori didaktičkih materijala koji djeci olakšavaju usvajanje novih nastavnih sadržaja, te potiču djecu da samostalno uče i istražuju svijet oko sebe.Maria Montessori is one of the most important people in modern education. She dedicated her life to advocate for the rights of children and prove their intellectual abilities. Basic principle of her pedagogy is „help me do it myself“. Her educational method was based on self-teaching and self-education. She believed that a child should have a freedom of choice, and make independent choices according to their needs and interests. Maria emphasized the importance of relationship between child and his environment. Prepared environment has a significant role in realization of educational goals, and is adjusted to the needs of child, offering the child everything he needs for physical, cognitive and social development. Montessori classroom is specially arranged space designed for working and studying.The child learns about the world trough play, and experiences it through the sense of sight, touch, hearing, smell and taste. Having that in mind, Maria Montessori designed didactic materials with which the children can learn about connections and relationships that are present in world. She called the materials „the key that opens the door to the world“. The materials are organically made and its size corresponds to hand of a child. This thesis brings an overview of Montessori didactic materials used for teaching mathematics, language, science, music and art culture. The thesis also describes the design of Montessori materials, while also showcasing it using the photographs of the materials. Furthermore, the thesis brings an overview of how the materials are used, describing the exercises teachers can use in the classroom. The aim of this thesis is to expand on the knowledge about the possibilities of using Montessori didactic materials in classroom in order to convey the teaching content in an interesting and simple way for children. The paper emphasizes the relationship between the student and the teacher. The teacher should possess the following characteristics: cheerfulness, patience, calmness and gentleness, and above all should love children and be respectful. By studying the literature, it can be concluded that there are many Montessori didactic materials that make learning new content easier for children, and encourage children to learn and explore the world around them
Ability of coordination, agility and balance and kinesiology operators on their develop
No full textCilj istraživanja bio je utvrditi sposobnosti ravnoteže, koordinacije i agilnosti kod djece predškolske dobi, te vidjeti mogu li se procesom vježbanja odnosno ponavljanja vježbi poboljšati rezultati mjerenja navedenih motoričkih sposobnosti. Istraživanje je provedeno na uzorku od 11 ispitanika u dječjem vrtiću u Vinkovcima, u dobi od pet do šest i pol godina. Efekti procesa vježbanja provjereni su pomoću tri mjerna instrumenta, i to gaĎanje kotrljanjem, testom ravnoteže i testom agilnosti. Dobiveni rezultati pokazali su da je proces vježbanja odnosno motoričkog učenja utjecao na razvoj preciznosti, koordinacije i agilnosti kod djece, ali ne značajno.The goal of this research was to establish the abilities of balance, coordination and agility in preschool children, and to see if the results can be improved through the exercise process or repeating the exercisesof mentioned motorical abilities. The research is carried out on a sample of 11 respondents in kindergarden in Vinkovci at the age of 5 to 6.5. The effects of exercise process were measured using three measuring instruments, namely rolling shooting, balance test and agility test. The gained results showed that the exercise process or motor learning had affectedon the development of precision, coordination and agility but not significantly
Attitudes of educators towards rhythmic gymnastics at an early age
No full textCilj je ovog istraživanja bio ispitati stavove odgojitelja, koji provode kineziološke aktivnosti s djecom, prema ritmičkoj gimnastici u ranoj dobi – Imaju li dovoljno sprava za provođenje, adekvatan prostor te kako aktivnosti utječu na djecu u ranoj dobi? Za potrebe ovog istraživanja kreiran je online anonimni upitnik koji se sastoji od 22 pitanja. Sudjelovalo je 70 ispitanika od kojih je 100% žena. Rezultati su pokazali pozitivan stav ispitanika prema poticanju djece na kineziološke aktivnosti s elementima ritmičke gimnastike te se slažu da navedene aktivnosti utječu na zdravlje djece, kao i da ih je potrebno provoditi s djecom. Također, većina se ispitanika složila kako u dječjim vrtićima nemaju adekvatan prostor i dovoljno sprava za kvalitetno provođenje kinezioloških aktivnosti s elementima ritmičke gimnastike. Potrebno je istaknuti da se ritmičkom gimnastikom postiže kvalitetan tjelesni odgoj zbog sveobuhvatnosti kinezioloških aktivnosti koje se provode igrom za djecu rane dobi, a temelje se na prirodnim oblicima kretanja. Kako bi se to postiglo, velika je uloga odgojitelja koji djeci trebaju biti model te dobro poznavati utjecaj rasta i razvoja na antropološki status djece te dobne razlike skupina kako bi aktivnosti bile prikladne djeci.The aim of this research was to examine the attitudes of educators towards rhythmic gymnastics at an early age, where they conduct kinesiological activities with children, whether they have enough equipment for implementation, adequate space, and how the activities affect children at an early age. For the purposes of this research, an online anonymous questionnaire consisting of 22 questions was created. 70 respondents participated, 100% of whom were women. The results showed a positive attitude towards encouraging children to kinesiological activities with elements of rhythmic gymnastics, they agree that they affect children's health and that it is necessary to carry them out with children. Also, the majority of respondents agreed that kindergartens do not have adequate space and enough equipment for high-quality implementation of kinesiological activities with elements of rhythmic gymnastics. It should be pointed out that rhythmic gymnastics achieves high-quality physical education due to the comprehensiveness of kinesiological activities that are carried out through play for children of an early age, and they are based on natural forms of movement. In order to achieve this the educator has a great role, who should be a model for children and know well the impact of growth and development on the anthropological status of children and the age differences of groups to make the activities suitable for children
About non-verbal communication of kindergarten and preschool children during storytelling
No full textKomunikacija je osnovno sredstvo ljudske interakcije čiji je cilj prenošenje određenih informacija. Nemoguće je razdvojiti verbalnu od neverbalne komunikacije jer jedna drugu nadopunjuju. Ljudi nisu niti svjesni stalne prisutnosti neverbalnih znakova koji ponekad o nama mogu otkriti i ono što nismo željeli podijeliti s drugima. Djeca od rođenja posjeduju predispoziciju za razvoj govora koji se očituje predverbalnim razdobljem tijekom kojega se djeca služe neverbalnim znakovima, poput pogleda, gesti, ekspresije lica, vokalizacije i slično.
Glavna svrha ovog rada bila je provesti dvodijelno istraživanje u kojemu su sudjelovala djeca i odgojitelji. Prvi dio istraživanja proveden je među 12 djece u dobi od tri do pet godina jedne mješovite dobne skupine u dječjem vrtiću grada Zagreba, koji je bio usmjeren na promatranje djece tijekom pričanja priče, a potom i tijekom intervjua koji su se proveli sa svakim djetetom pojedinačno. Drugi dio istraživanja sastojao se od anketnog upitnika za odgojitelje koji su zabilježili svoja zapažanja o neverbalnim znakovima kojima se djeca služe. Dobiveni rezultati ispunili su hipoteze istraživanja.Communication is a basic means of human interaction whose goal is to convey certain information. It is impossible to separate verbal from non-verbal communication because they complement each other. People are not even aware of the constant presence of non-verbal signs that can sometimes reveal things about us that we didn't want to share with others. From birth, children have a predisposition for the development of speech, which manifests itself in the pre-verbal period, during which children use non-verbal signs such as looks, gestures, facial expressions, vocalizations and so on.
The main purpose of this work was to conduct a two-part research in which children and educators participated. The first part of the research was conducted among 12 children aged three to five of a mixed age group in a kindergarten in the city of Zagreb, which focused on observing the children during the story, and then during the interviews that were conducted with each child individually. The second part of the research consisted of a survey questionnaire for educators who recorded their observations about the non-verbal signs that children use. The obtained results fulfilled the research hypotheses
The impact of the pandemic and digital media on children`s physical activity
No full textCilj ovog rada je predstaviti kako digitalni mediji i pandemija utječu na fizičku aktivnost djece. Utjecajem društva digitalni mediji postali su dio svakodnevnog života ljudi diljem svijeta bez obzira na dobnu skupinu, počevši od rođenja do smrti. Pod takvim utjecajem djeca sve više i češće koriste tehnologiju. Svakodnevna izloženost digitalnim medijima utječe i na odgoj i obrazovanje djece. Korištenjem digitalnih medija kod djece može se poticati produktivno učenje odgovarajućim sadržajima i učenje na daljinu. Tijekom takvog učenja važna je uloga roditelja kako bi mogli kontrolirati vrijeme koje dijete provodi pred ekranom, ali i sadržaje koji se djetetu nude. Obzirom na to da djeca sve više vremena provode pred ekranom, te su na meti raznih prijevara i neprimjerenih sadržaja sa znatnim posljedicama. Sve veća dostupnost digitalnih medija djeci sa sobom poteže niz problema kao što su problemi s koncentracijom, pažnjom, razvojem govora, pojačan umor zbog vremena provedenog ispred ekrana. Izbijanjem pandemije uzrokovane virusom SARS-COV-2 i brzog širenja zaraze dovelo je do ograničenja kretanja, zbog čega su djeca fizički i socijalno primorani biti ograničeni. Za vrijeme najstrožih mjera kako bi se očuvalo zdravlje djece i ljudi, uobičajen svakodnevni život postao je novi online život. Boravak i kretanje na otvorenom prostoru pretvorio se u boravak u zatvorenom prostoru, što je istovremeno dovelo do znatnog smanjenja fizičke aktivnosti. Boravkom unutar kućanstva i odgojno – obrazovnim ustanovama, djecu se potiče na fizičku aktivnost tjelovježbom, sudjelovanjem u aktivnostima koje uključuju kretanje ili organiziranim sportovima. S druge strane, djeca tijekom boravka na otvorenom prostoru fizički su aktivnija zbog niza sadržaja koje u vanjskom okruženju mogu pronaći.This paper aims to present how the digital media and the pandemic had affected children's physical activity. Through its influence in society, the daily media plays a key role in everyday lives of countless people all over the world regardless of age group, starting at the earliest stages of their lives right up to their end. Under such influence, children are inclined to use technology more than ever before. Daily exposure to the digital media also affects the upbringing as well as education of children. Throughout the use of digital media, children can encourage productive learning with appropriate content and distance learning. In the course of such learning, the parents play a key role; they can control the time that child spends behind the screen, as well as the content that a child is being exposed to. Thus, given the fact that children spend more and more time behind the screen they are becoming vulnerable to various scams and exposed to inappropriate content with significant consequences. The ever increasing availability of digital media to children is bringing several issues such as problems with concentration, attention, speech development, and increased fatigue due to the time spent behind the screen. The outbreak of the pandemic caused by the SARS-COV-2 virus and the subsequent rapid spread of the infection led to the restrictions on movement, due to which children were basically physically inactive and socially isolated. In the course of some of the more restrictive measures to protect the health of the children and other people, ordinary everyday life has moved in the online sphere. Staying and moving in the open turned into staying indoors for days on end, which, as a result, led to a significant decrease in physical activity. By staying in households and educational institutions, we encourage children to be physically active through exercise, cleaning, or organized sports. On the other hand, children are physically more active during their stay outside due to the wide range of activities they can find in the outdoor environment
The history of kinesiology in Croatia
No full textCilj ovog rada je iznijeti bitne činjenice i povijesne trenutke tijekom razvoja kineziologije u Hrvatskoj u svrhu povijesnog pogleda unatrag i boljeg te pametnijeg postupanja u budućnosti. Ovaj rad daje objedinjene definicije kineziologije kao znanosti i pojma te njegovog položaja u svijetu i u Hrvatskoj. Osim što rad govori o izuzetnoj visokoj rangiranosti kineziologije u visokoobrazovnim institucijama u Hrvatskoj, osvrće se i na nazivlje raznih znanstvenih djela, časopisa i tiska koji ima akademski značaj. Kroz razvoj tjelovježbenih aktivnosti i sporta kao takvoga, ovaj rad čini prijelaz od aktivnost ljudi u prvobitnoj zajednici kod prapovijesnog čovjeka pa sve do današnjih dana te potkrepljuje napisano izvorima iz različitih razdoblja i dijelova svijeta. Pošto je tehnološki napredak uzeo maha u suvremenom svijetu kao i ubrzani način života, potrebno je pokrenuti današnjeg čovjeka i vratiti ga iskonskim težnjama – fizičkoj aktivnosti.The goal of this thesis is to present important facts and historical moments during the development of kinesiology in Croatia for the purpose of historical hindsight and better and smarter behavior in the future.
