The importance of sustainable development education in Preeschool
No full textKoncept održivog razvoja posljedica je potrebe korekcije prevelikih zahtjeva društva, ljudske nesavjesnosti, te neusklađenosti gospodarskog rasta s njegovim djelovanjem na okoliš. Održivim razvojem nastojimo nastaviti gospodarski rast i razvoj ali s ciljem zaštite okoliša, pravilnim korištenjem prirodnih resursa, te imajući na umu da na taj način brinemo o budućim generacijama.
Ovaj rad objedinjuje glavne definicije vezane uz održivi razvoj, znanstvene činjenice o ekološkim problemima (klimatskim promjenama, efektu staklenika, pretjeranom potrošnjom prirodnih izvora itd.) i načine implementiranja osjetljivosti za održivi razvoj u odgojno-obrazovni proces (konkretno u vrtić, predškolstvo), te se suočava s kompleksnosti odgoja za okoliš, tj. kompleksnosti razvijanja osjetljivosti za održivi razvoj kod djece, te brojnim aspektima koje ono sadrži: usađivanje ekološke vrijednosti, stvaranje preduvjeta za inovativno učenje, osiguravanje raznovrsnog okoliša, bogatstvo materijala i poticaja na temu održivosti. Za sveukupan djetetov razvoj osjetljivosti za održivi razvoj zaslužni su roditelji, obitelj, odgajatelji, vršnjaci, tj. okolina u kojoj dijete odrasta.Sustainable development has arisen as a result of excessive demands of society, human negligence, and the mismatch of economic growth with its impact on the environment. With sustainable development, we strive to continue economic growth and development, but with the aim of protecting the environment, the proper use of natural resources, and bearing in mind that in this way we care for future generations.
This paper combines the main definitions related to sustainable development, scientific facts about environmental problems (climate change, greenhouse effect, excessive consumption of natural resources, etc.) and ways to implement sensitivity for sustainable development in the educational process (specifically in kindergarten, preschool). It faces the complexity of environmental education, ie. the complexity of developing sensitivity to sustainable development in children, and the many aspects it contains: instilling environmental value, creating the preconditions for innovative learning, ensuring a diverse environment, a wealth of materials and incentives on sustainability. Parents, family, educators, peers are responsible for the overall development of the child's sensitivity to sustainable development, ie. the environment in which the child grows up
Food allergies in preeschool children
No full textAlergija na hranu bolest je koja zahvaća milijune ljudi diljem Europe. Češće se javlja kod djece (oko 5-8%), nego kod odraslih (1-3%). U posljednjih nekoliko desetljeća alergija na hranu sve je više zastupljena kod dojenčadi i djece predškolske dobi. Stručnjaci tvrde kako je ishrana majke tijekom trudnoće od izuzetne važnosti za sprječavanje nastanka alergijskih bolesti kod djece. Stoga je bitno da je prehrana raznolika te pravilno uravnotežena, ali i da se tijekom trudnoće ne izbacuju neki od najučestalijih alergena poput kikirikija ili školjki, ukoliko majka nije alergična na iste. Najčešće alergijske reakcije uzrokuju sljedeći alergeni: jaja, mlijeko, riba, kikiriki, soja, školjke, jezgričavo voće i gluten žitarice (pšenica, ječam i raž). Iako postoji nekoliko rizičnih čimbenika, još uvijek nije poznat mehanizam nastanka alergijskih bolesti. Rizični čimbenici mogu biti: izloženost alergenima, nasljedne predispozicije, suvremeni način života i onečišćeni okoliš. Pri dijagnosticiranju alergijskih bolesti uzima se u obzir anamneza (praćenje i učestalost svih simptoma, životne navike, obiteljska anamneza itd.), kožni testovi (prick - test ubodom i patch - test krpicom), mjerenje specifičnih IgE- protutijela i provokacijski testovi. Glavni problem su serološki testovi koji istodobno testiraju čak desetak nutritivnih alergena, te mogu biti lažno pozitivni. Nakon utvrđivanja alergijske bolesti kod djece slijedi postupak liječenja. Jedna od metoda liječenja je eliminacijska dijeta kojom se namirnica potpuno isključuje iz prehrane što može znatno narušiti zdravlje i dugoročno oštetiti djetetov rast i razvoj. Iz tog razloga, eliminacijska se dijeta uvodi tek nakon uspostavljene dijagnoze i uz redoviti nadzor stručnjaka. Za osobe koje pripadaju rizičnoj skupini za nastanak alergijskih bolesti postoje određene vrste prevencije; dojenje 4-6 mjeseci, izbjegavanje alergena i rana imunoterapija, no do sada ove mjere prevencije nisu dale zadovoljavajuće rezultate.Food allergy is a disease suffered by millions of people in Europe alone. It is more common in children (around 5-8 %) than it is in the adults (1-3 %). For the past couple of decades food allergy has become more common in the new-borns and children of the preschool age. Experts claim that the nutrition of the mother during the pregnancy is extremely important in prevention of food allergy. Therefore, it is quite important that the nutrition is versatile and equally balanced, but also that the mother does not cut out on the common allergens during the pregnancy (such as peanuts and clams; unless of course the mother herself is allergic to them). Most common allergic reactions are caused by eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, soy, clams, fruit and gluten flakes. Although there are some known risk factors, what causes food allergies still remains unknown. Risk factors can be hereditary predispositions, being exposed to allergens, contemporary lifestyle and polluted environment. Multiple variables are involved in diagnosing allergic diseases such as anamnesis (tracking down symptoms, habits, family history of illnesses etc), skin tests (prick-test and patch-test, measuring specific IgE-antibodies and provocation tests. The main problem is serologic tests that test up to ten nutritive allergens at the same time, which can sometimes make them false positive. After establishing allergic disease in children, the healing treatment begins. One of the methods is elimination diet that completely excludes a certain consumable from nutrition which can severely impact the health and have a long-term negative influence on child’s growth and development. For that reason, elimination diet is introduced only after the diagnosis had been established and along with the regular expert supervision. For individuals that are a part of the higher risk population regarding allergy diseases there are specific types of prevention; breastfeeding from four to six months, avoiding allergens and early immunotherapy. However, so far these measures have not provided us almost any satisfying results
Domestic violence against children - bioethical aspect
No full textNasilje je ozbiljan društveni problem, a kada su u nasilje uključena i djeca, bilo da su direktne žrtve ili svjedoci nasilja od odraslih se očekuje, pred njih se stavlja odgovornost, da zaštite djecu. Zaštita od nasilja svakome od nas je zajamčena mnogim zakonima, pravilnicima i konvencijama. No, unatoč tome ni odrasli ni djeca nisu potpuno zaštićeni od ove užasne pojave u društvu. U društvenoj svijesti jako dugo su djeca smatrana posjedom svojih roditelja te su često bila izložena raznim oblicima zlostavljanja. Iako je danas svijest društva daleko drugačija nasilje nad djecom još uvijek postoji i svakodnevno smo okruženi vijestima o nasilju nad djecom, zlostavljanju i zanemarivanju. Suvremeni čovjek s obzirom na znanje koje posjeduje trebao bi biti odgovorniji za život oko sebe, za život u cjelini. Potrebno je posebno zaštititi one najranjivije, a to su svakako djeca. Posebna odgovornost je na stručnjacima koji rade u odgoju i obrazovanju jer bi oni trebali biti među prvima koji promoviraju prava djeteta. Zbog toga su u ovom radu istražene kompetencije i ponašanja odgojitelja predškolske djece u slučaju nasilja nad djetetom. Ispitana su njihova uvjerenja, stavovi, ponašanja i kompetencije u svrhu donošenja etičke prosudbe. Istraživanje je pokazalo da su odgojitelji svjesni da je nasilje ozbiljan društveni problem. Svjesni su također i svoje uloge u slučaju otkrivanja nasilja nad djetetom. U mogućnosti su prepoznati različite oblike nasilja. Unatoč tome istraživanje je pokazalo da bi odgojiteljima svakako trebale dodatne edukacije na ovom području.Violence is a serious social problem, and when children are involved in violence, whether they are direct victims or witnesses of adult violence, adults are expected to be held accountable to protect children. Protection from violence is guaranteed to each of us by many laws, regulations and conventions. But despite this, neither adults nor children are completely protected from this horrible phenomenon in society. In the social consciousness, children have been considered the property of their parents for long time and have often been exposed to various forms of abuse. Although society's consciousness is far different today, violence against children still exists and we are surrounded daily by news of violence against children, abuse and neglect. Modern man, given the knowledge he possesses, should be more responsible for life around him, for life as a whole. It is necessary to especially protect the most vulnerable, and that is certainly children. Special responsibility rests with professionals working in upbringing and education as they should be among the first to promote children’s rights. Therefore, in this paper, the competencies and behaviours of preschool teachers in the case of violence against children are investigated. Their beliefs, attitudes, behaviours, and competencies were examined for the purpose of making ethical judgments. Research has shown that educators are aware that violence is a serious social problem. They are also aware of their role in detecting violence against a child. They are able to recognize different forms of violence. Despite this, the research showed that educators would need additional education in this area
The motives and the consequences of volunteering of young adults: qualitative analysis
No full textU ovom diplomskom radu obrađena je tema volontiranja mladih. Teorijski dio opisuje općenito pojam volontiranja, obuhvaćajući opise osoba koje se uglavnom uključuju u volonterski rad kao i njihove motive te posljedice volontiranja. U istraživačkom dijelu rada prikazani su rezultati istraživanja koje je provedeno na uzorku od deset volonterki Društva Naša djeca Zabok u dobi od sedamnaest do dvadeset i sedam godina. Glavni cilj provedenog istraživanja bio je istražiti odnos mladih prema volonterskom radu kojim se redovito bave u svakodnevnom životu. Istraživanjem su utvrđena njihovi motivi za volontiranje, posljedice volontiranja te odnos okoline prema njihovom volonterskom radu. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju kako volontersko iskustvo ima pozitivne posljedice na osobe koje u njemu aktivno sudjeluju. Od takvih se pozitivnih posljedica najviše ističe osobni razvoj koji je mladima od jako velike važnosti za njihov budući život. Osim što volontiranje donosi mnoge dobrobiti samom volonteru, ono pridonosi i društvu u cijelosti. U ovom je radu, u dijelu koji se odnosi na odnos okoline prema volontiranju, također, prikazano i kako neke skupine mladih ljudi imaju negativna stajališta i komentare na volonterski rad što njihovim vršnjacima pruža dodatan teret za upuštanje u volontiranje. Kako bi se mladi što lakše, preciznije i sa što većom željom mogli upustiti u volontiranje, veliku ulogu preuzima i škola koju pohađaju provodeći brojne volonterske radionice i akcije, organizirajući volonterske klubove te pružanjem raznih informacija koje bi mogle biti korisne postojećim, ali i budućim volonterima.This master’s thesis mainly focuses on the volunteering of young adults. The theoretical part of the thesis describes volunteering in general. It includes characteristics of people prone to volunteering as well as their motives and consequences of volunteering. Furthermore, the research analysis shows the results of the research that was carried out on the sample of ten volunteers of the Društvo Naša djeca Zabok aged between seventeen and twenty-seven years. The main aim of the research was to determine the relation between young adults and volunteering in their everyday lives. The results determine their viewpoints upon starting volunteering, consequences of the volunteering and the public opinion. Moreover, the results show that volunteering experience leaves very positive imprints on those who actively participate in it. The main positive imprint is personal development which is of extreme importance to young adults and their future lives. Apart from bringing personal wellbeing to the volunteer himself, volunteering contributes to the society in general. The part of the thesis which is about the relation between the society and volunteering shows that some groups of young adults have negative viewpoints and comments upon volunteering. That attitude makes their peers hesitant upon starting to volunteer. On the other hand, schools take great responsibility in encouraging young adults to willfully and eagerly join volunteering by organizing volunteering workshops, clubs and providing resourceful information useful to current and future volunteers
Obesity in preschool children
No full textPretilost i prekomjerna tjelesna težina djece i mladih kod nas a i u svijetu u stalnom su rastu te predstavljaju javnozdravstveni problem cijelog društva. S tim problemom se treba suočiti i uhvatiti se u koštac te pronaći rješenje jer narušava zdravlje i kvalitetu života djece i mladih diljem svijeta. U ovom radu pisati će se o samom pojmu pretilosti djece predškolske dobi, o njezinim
uzrocima i prevenciji te kako pokušati riješiti problem pretilosti i pružiti pomoć pretiloj djeci te kako im pokušati osigurati što kvalitetniji i zdraviji život. Važno je napomenuti da pretilost i zdravstveni problemi zbog iste mogu nastati već u ranom djetinjstvu te se u prevenciju i rješavanje problema trebaju na vrijeme uključiti obitelj, odnosno roditelji, zdravstvene institucije i vrtići sa svojim odgajateljima i stručnim timom. Oni trebaju ostvariti blisku, konstruktivnu i produktivnu suradnju u svrhu smanjenja i prevencije
pretilosti djece i pomoći ukoliko je pretilost već prisutna. Zdrava i uravnotežena prehrana, tjelesna aktivnost i usporeniji način života ključni su u prevenciji i sprječavanju pretilosti kod djece te je o tome potrebno educirati roditelje ali i djecu.Obesity and overweight of children and young people in our country and in the world are constantly growing and represent a public health problem of the whole society. This problem needs to be addressed and tackled and a solution found because it impairs the health and quality of life of children and young people around the world. This paper will write about the very concept of obesity in preschool children, its causes and prevention, and how to try to solve the problem of obesity and provide assistance to obese children and how to try to ensure a better and healthier life. It is important to note that obesity and health problems due to it can occur in early childhood, and in the prevention and resolution of problems should be involved in time family, or parents, health care institutions and kindergartens with their educators and professional team. They should work closely, constructively and productively to reduce and prevent childhood obesity and to help if obesity is already present.
A healthy and balanced diet, physical activity and a slower lifestyle are key to preventing and preventing obesity in children, and it is necessary to educate parents and children about this
Implementation of numicon in preschool education
No full textRazvoj predmatematičkih i matematičkih vještina jedno je od bitnih područja razvoja djeteta, povezano s kasnijim akademskim postignućima i uspjehom u raznim životnim područjima. Iako je matematika neizbježan dio svakodnevnog života, nerijetko se čuju izjave poput „Matematika je teška“ ili „Ne volim matematiku.“ Pravilnim pristupom od najranije dobi moguće je postići zainteresiranost za ovo područje, želju za istraživanjem, radost otkrića. Načini kako dijete razumije i doživljava matematiku razlikuju se od odraslih, stoga je za kvalitetno planiranje aktivnosti za razvoj matematičkih vještina, važno poznavati etape u
razvoju dječje spoznaje, osluškivati strategije kojima se dijete služi te promišljeno intervenirati. Važno je poznavati i sredstva kojima je moguće potaknuti razvoj te načine njihove primjene. Matematičke kompetencije djeteta razvijat će se u poticajnom i bogatom matematičkim okruženjem, uz upotrebu primjerenih sredstava i načina rada te uz kvalitetno vodstvo. Cilj ovog rada je predstaviti didaktički materijal Numicon i njegove mogućnosti u razvoju predmatematičkih i matematičkih vještina. U radu su navedene teorijske osnove učenja i podučavanja matematike u dječjoj dobi, s pregledom matematičkih koncepata koja djeca usvajaju, te načinima i tijekom kako koncepte razumiju i nadograđuju. Objašnjena je uloga konkretnih objekata (manipulativa) u usmjerenim matematičkim aktivnostima, pri čemu su navedene prednosti, ali i potencijalni nedostaci njihove primjene. Za kraj, predstavljen je
didaktički materijal Numicon, te mogućnosti primjene Numicona u predškolskoj dobi.The development of pre-mathematical and mathematical skills is one of the essential areas of a child's development, related to later academic achievements and success in various areas of life. Although mathematics is an inevitable part of everyday life, statements such as "Mathematics is difficult" or "I don't like mathematics" are often heard. With the right approach from an early age, it is possible to gain interest in this area, desire to explore, and joy of discovery. The ways in which a child understands and experiences mathematics differ from adults, so for quality planning of activities for the development of mathematical skills, it is important to know the stages in the development of children's cognition, recognize strategies used by the child and thoughtfully intervene. It is important to know the tools by which it is possible to encourage development and the ways of their application. The child's mathematical competencies will be developed in a stimulating and rich mathematical environment, with the use of appropriate tools and methods of work and with quality guidance.
The aim of this paper is to present the didactic material of Numicon and its possibilities in the development of pre-mathematical and mathematical skills. The paper presents the theoretical foundations of learning and teaching mathematics in childhood, with an overview of mathematical concepts that children adopt, and the progression and upgrading of the
concepts. The role of concrete objects (manipulative) in directed mathematical activities is explained, where the advantages and potential disadvantages of their application are stated. Finally, the didactic material Numicon was presented, as well as the possibilities of using Numicon in preschool age
The importance of parent-educator partnership in the life of a preschool child
No full textPojam partnerstva definiran je kao sporazum ili ugovor između dviju ili više osoba koje zajedno obavljaju neku djelatnost, ujedinjuju svoje talente i novac te dijele dobit ili gubitak. Kada se razgovara o odgojno-obrazovnim ustanovama ta djelatnost, talenti i novac su zapravo rad, trud i napor roditelja i odgojitelja u ostavrivanju što boljeg odnosa radi opće dobrobiti djeteta. Partnerstvo je određena vrsta izazova te ga nije lako postići. U današnjem dobu većina djece provodi jako puno svog vremena u vrtiću te je stoga važno kakvu okolinu i ljude imaju oko sebe u njemu . Često ljudi gledaju na vrtić kao mjesto u kojem se djeca samo čuvaju i ne shvaćaju utjecaj koje mjesto vrtića i odgojitelji koji rade u njemu imaju na dijete. Zato bi i roditeljima i odgojiteljima trebalo biti u cilju razviti dobre i kvalitetne partnerske odnose kako bi razvoj djece tekao u pozitivnom i zdravom smjeru. Odgojitelji danas moraju biti dobro obrazovani i profesionalni u svome poslu kako bi taj zdravi odnos i suradnju mogli poticati na pravilan način. Ovaj rad započinje objašnjavanjem uloga roditelja i odgojitelja u razvoju djeteta, zatim se navode oblici komunikacije roditelja i odgojitelja te patrnerstvo općenito, a na kraju sama važnost partnerstva za razvoj djeteta.The concept of partnership is defined as an agreement or contract between two or more persons who jointly carry out an activity, unite their talents and money, and share profit or loss. When discussing educational institutions, this activity, talents and money are actually the work, effort and exertion of parents and educators in staying the best possible relationship for the general well-being of the child. Partnership is a certain kind of challenge and is not easy to achieve. In this day and age, most children spend a lot of their time in kindergarten and therefore it is important what kind of environment and people they have around them in it . Often, people view kindergarten as a place where children are just kept safe and do not realize the impact that the place of kindergarten and the educators who work in it have on the child. That is why both parents and educators should be aimed at developing good and quality partnerships in order for the development of children to flow in a positive and healthy direction. Educators today need to be well educated and professional in their work so that they can encourage this healthy relationship and cooperation in a proper way. This work begins by explaining the roles of parents and educators in the development of the child, then lists forms of communication between parents and educators and pathos in general, and ultimately the importance of partnership for the development of the child
Gender as a predictor of spontaneous play
No full textCilj ovog rada je usporediti kako se igraju dječaci, a kako djevojčice, odnosno postoje li razlike u načinu igranja i odabiru igračaka s obzirom na spol djeteta. U radu su iznesena objašnjenja pojma igre, klasifikacije igara te kako igra utječe na tjelesni, spoznajni, društveni i emocionalni razvoj djeteta. Nadalje, opisana je uloga odraslih u dječjoj igre, pogotovo roditelja, odgojitelja i učitelja kao osoba zaduženih za odgoj i obrazovanje djece. U radu je provedena anonimna anketa namijenjena odgojiteljima u svrhu istraživanja primjećuju li razlike u načinu igranja i odabiru igračaka djece predškolske dobi s obzirom na spol. Rezultati ankete su pokazali da većina odgojitelja primjećuje spolne razlike u dječjoj spontanoj igri. Prevladalo je mišljenje da dječaci preferiraju pokretne i natjecateljske igre dok djevojčice biraju mirnije igre u manjim skupinama. Također, djevojčice su sklonije simboličkoj igri, a dječaci igri konstruiranja. Kod odabira igračaka primjećuje se da djevojčice odabiru likovni pribor, lutke i pribor za kuhanje, a dječaci loptu i igračke vozila (autiće, kamione, vlakove i sl.). Provedeno istraživanje potvrdilo je spol kao prediktor spontane igre, odnosno postojanje određenih razlika između dječaka i djevojčica u načinu igre i odabiru igračaka. Međutim, dobivene rezultate ne treba generalizirati budući da je svako dijete jedinstveno i iznimke uvijek postoje.The aim of this paper is to compare how boys and girls play, ie whether there are differences in the way of playing and choosing toys with regard to the sex of the child. The paper presents explanations of the concept of play, classification of games and how play affects the physical, cognitive, social and emotional development of the child. Furthermore, the role of adults in children's play is described, especially the role of parents, educators and teachers as persons in charge of raising and educating children. The paper conducted an anonymous survey intended for educators in order to investigate whether they notice differences in the way of playing and choosing toys for preschool children with regard to gender. The results of the survey showed that most educators notice gender differences in children’s spontaneous play. The prevailing opinion was that boys prefer physical and competitive games while girls choose calmer games in smaller groups. Also, girls are more inclined to symbolic play, and boys to the game of construction. When choosing toys, it is noticed that girls choose art accessories, dolls and cooking utensils, and boys choose ball and toy vehicles (cars, trucks, trains, etc.). The conducted research confirmed gender as a predictor of spontaneous play, ie the existence of certain differences between boys and girls in the way of playing and choosing toys. However, the results obtained should not be generalized since each child is unique and exceptions always exist
Comparison of children's characters in Ivan Kušan's novel Alarm at Zeleni Vrh and the film Millions on the Island
No full textU radu se analizira prikaz dječjih likova u dječjem romanu Uzbuna na Zelenom Vrhu i u dječjem igranom filmu Milioni na otoku. I dječji roman i dječji igrani film stvoreni su gotovo u isto vrijeme, sredinom pedesetih godina 20. st. Dječji likovi u oba pripovjedna djela odstupaju od slike djece kakva postoji u većini pripovjednih djela iz tog vremena. Od 1945. u Jugoslaviji je uspostavljen socijalistički sustav u kojemu sve konce u društvu povlači Komunistička partija (od 1952. Savez komunista). Tako je i slika djeteta u Jugoslaviji ključno obilježena i određena svojim mjestom u novom društvu. Ta slika djeteta i djetinjstva u jugoslavenskom javnom prostoru u prvih desetak godina komunističkog režima ima nekoliko faceta. Iz rata naslijeđena slika djeteta-heroja u novim mirnodopskim okolnostima zadobila je oblik djeteta-udarnika. Sredinom pedesetih pojavljuje se iznenada, kao posljedica promjene političkih prilika, i nova paradigma djeteta stanovnika dječje republike. Opći mit koji natapa sve pore društva je mit o sretnom socijalističkom djetinjstvu prema kojemu nikada i niti jedno djetinjstvo u povijesti ljudskog roda nije bilo tako sretno kao što je to socijalističko djetinjstvo. U otklonu od ovih slika djetinjstva i redatelj Branko Bauer i pisac Ivan Kušan stvaraju svoje likove djece. Likovi djece u oba pripovjedna djela se oštro i karakteristično razlikuju od općeprisutnih slika djece u društvu i umjetnosti. Također obilježja likova djece u romanu i djece u filmu na zanimljiv način međusobno pružaju kontrast pa će i o tome biti riječi.The paper analyzes the portrayal of children 's characters in the children' s novel Uzbuna na Zelenom Vrhu and in the children 's feature film Millioni na otoku. Both the children's novel and the children's feature film were created almost at the same time, in the mid-1950s. The children's characters in both narratives deviate from the image of children that exists in most narrative works at the time. Since 1945, a socialist system has been established in Yugoslavia, in which all the strings in society are pulled by the Communist Party (since 1952, the League of Communists). Thus, the image of the child in Yugoslavia is crucially marked and determined by its place in the new society. This image of the child and childhood in the Yugoslav public space in the first ten years of the communist regime has several facets. The image inherited from the war of a child-hero in new peacetime circumstances took the form of a child-striker. In the mid-fifties, a new paradigm of the child of the inhabitants of the children's republic suddenly appeared as a consequence of the change in political circumstances. The general myth that soaks all the pores of society is the myth of a happy socialist childhood according to which never and no childhood in the history of the human race has been as happy as that socialist childhood. Deviating from these childhood images, both director Branko Bauer and writer Ivan Kušan create their own characters of children. The characters of the children in both narrative works differ sharply and characteristically from the ubiquitous images of children in society and art. Also, the characteristics of the characters in the novel and the children in the film provide an interesting contrast with each other, so this will also be discussed
Growing up of Ratko Milić "Kok" in the works of Ivan Kušan
No full textIvan Kušan smatra se jednim od najznačajnijih pisaca dječjih romana u Hrvatskoj. Svojim djelima utjecao je na promjenu tematike romana nakon drugog svjetskog rada te uveo kriminalistički roman u hrvatsku dječju književnost. Nakon njegovog prvog romana Uzbune na Zelenom Vrhu javlja se cijeli niz žanrovskih romana. Između ostalih, Kušanova najpoznatija dijela su ona s likom Ratka Milića „Koka“ u kojima se prikazuje njegov život prepun uzbudljivih pustolovina. Međutim, u rasponu od četrdeset godina otkako se objavljuju romani o Koku, zanimljivo je bilo promotriti njegov rast i odrastanje. Cilj je ovog završnog rada prikazati život i odrastanje Ratka Milića „Koka“ u djelima Ivana Kušana. Lik Koka analizirat će se s obzirom na dob njegovu dob i vrijeme zbivanja radnje, a posebni fokus će biti usmjeren na njegovo sazrijevanje koje se očituje u međuljudskim odnosima koje Koko ostvaruje te interesima koje kroz niz djela pokazuje. Korpus djela koji je poslužio za analizu je: Uzbuna na Zelenom Vrhu (1956.), Koko i duhovi (1958.) , Koko u Parizu (1963.), Zagonetni dječak (1972.), Ljubav ili smrt (1987.) te Koko u Kninu (1996.).Ivan Kušan is considered one of the most important writers of children's novels in Croatia. With his works, he influenced the change of the theme of the novel after the Second World War and introduced the crime novel into Croatian children's literature. After his first novel Uzbuna na Zelenom Vrhu, a whole series of genre novels appeared. Among others, Kušan's most famous works are those with the character of Ratko Milić "Koko", which shows his life full of exciting adventures. However, in the span of forty years since the novels about Koko were published, it was interesting to observe his growth and growing up.
