    Ivanec je grad koji je smješten podno najviše planine u Hrvatskome Zagorju – Ivanščice. Grad je koji ima bogatu povijest, kulturu i tradiciju. Iz toga su grada podrijetlom neki od poznatih, kao što su pedagog, filozof i pjesnik Đuro Arnold; klavirski pedagog, muzikolog i povjesničar te član Hrvatske akademije znanosti i umjetnosti Ladislav Šaban; dirigent i skladatelj Nikola Faller te višestruko nagrađivana glazbena pedagoginja, dirigentica i voditeljica dječjega i mješovitoga zbora Marija Vidoni. Podrijetlom je iz Ivanca i glazbeni pedagog te skladatelj Rudolf Rajter koji je rođen 9. lipnja 1912. godine. Osim što je bio prirodno nadaren, već je u ranoj mladosti stekao iskustvo u sviranju glasovira i orgulja, dirigiranju tamburaškim orkestrom i u zbornome pjevanju. Radio je u mnogim školama u Hrvatskoj kao nastavnik glazbe, voditelj pjevačkih zborova i korepetitor osječke opere. Pedesetih je godina završio studij je glazbe završio na Pedagoškoj akademiji u Zagrebu. Od 1954. do 1969. godine predavao je glazbeni odgoj i vodio je zbor Osnovne eksperimentalne škole „Jordanovac“ Zagreb u kojoj je ostavio neizbrisiv trag. Tridesetih je godina, kao polaznik čakovečke preparandije, uglazbio popijevku Poleg jedne velke gore, koju je napisala Pavica Hrazdira. Njegova se ljubav prema zagorskome podrijetlu nazire u nazivima njegovih popijevki: Stara klet, Loza Žuti, Na malomu bregu, Detela se črleni, V noči, Čez kuruzu, Drenek cvete, Vu tujemu svetu, Veseljak, Sreča, Sutla reka. Osim navedenih popijevki, skladao je i popijevke za glas uz pratnju glasovira i prigodne skladbe. Ivanečkome je liječniku i obnovitelju planinarstva, doktoru Adalbertu Gregorijeviću, posvetio Poputnicu ivanečkih planinara. Godine 1961. je u „Zagorskome kalendaru“ objavio članak Pjevačka i muzička društva u Ivancu, na temelju podataka Stanaka Furjana u kojemu je prikazana ivanečka glazbena tradicija s početka 20. stoljeća. Umro je 18. svibnja 1969. godine. U ovome će se radu prikazati njegov život, najpoznatije popijevke te njegovo djelovanje.Ivanec, a town situated on the foothills of the tallest mountain in Hrvatsko zagorjeregion – known as Ivanšćica, is known for its wealthy history, culture and tradition. Iti s also a home town of many famous Croats, such as:Đuro Arnold- a pedagogue and a poet; Ladislav Šaban- a piano pedagogue, musicologist and a historian; Nikola Faller a composer and a conductor; Marija Vidoni- a multi-award winning musical pedagogue, conductro and a children choir. Last but not the least, also originating from Ivanec, Rudolf Rajter is another musical pedagogue and a composer. He was born on the 9th June 1912 and has started his journey in music very early in his childhood. Rajter started with playing the piano and organ, whereas his knowledge and experience throughout the years have allowed him to also conduct the tambourine orchestra and a local choir. In his career, Rajter worked as a music teacher in a number of Crotian music schools as well as accompanist of te Osijek opera. He completed his music studies at the Pedagogical Academy in Zagreb, in the 1950s. As of 1954 until 1969, Rajter taugth music and led the choir at the Experimental elementary school of Jordanovac in Zagreb. During the 1930s as a student of Čakovec preparandije, Rajter set the poem „Poleg jedne velke gore“ to music. His love for his origin and Ivanec tradition is evident in the titles of his many poems, following as: Stara klet, Loza Žuti, Na malomu bregu, Detela se črleni, V noči, Čez kuruzu, Drenek cvete, Vu tujemu svetu, Veseljak, Sreča, Sutla reka. Moreover he dedicated a rosary of Ivanec mountaineers to a doctor Adalbert Gregorijević. In 1969 he published an article about the Music Society of Ivanec in Zagorje Calendar, showing the Ivanec music tradition in the early twentieth century. Rajter eventually passed away on the 18th of May 1969. Review of his life, most famous poems and his work is elaborated in this graduate thesis

    Alternativni načini obrazovanja javili su se još u 18. stoljeću u želji da se djecu odgaja u slobodi kroz rad i igru. Čak i u tim „davnim“ vremenima roditelji, nastavnici, ali i sami učenici su željeli drugačiju pedagogiju. Pedagogiju koja je okrenuta djetetu, odnosno pedagogiju u čijem je središtu dijete ili učenik. Alternativne škole pristupaju pojedincu, ali i odgovaraju na njegove potrebe u odgoju i obrazovanju. Maria Montessori (1870.-1952.) bila je talijanska liječnica i pedagoginja. U razdoblju od 1899.- 1902. godine radila je u učiteljskoj školi za djecu s teškoćama u razvoju. Organizirala je odgoj djece od treće do šeste godine u siromašnom naselju San Lorenzo. M. Montessori je osnovna pedagoška ideja bila stvarati uvjete za samorad i samoodgoj djece. Rudolf Steiner je svoju pedagošku ideju zasnovao na teozofiji, odnosno antropozofiji. Osnivač je znamenite Waldorfske škole (1919.) U diplomskome radu će se izvoditi komparativna analiza pedagoških ideja i praksa te isto tako didaktička obilježja odgoja M. Montessori i R. Steinera. Svoje shvaćanja odgoja, djeteta i škole M. Montessori temelji na ideji kršćanstva, pedagogijskoj, psihologijskoj i medicinskoj znanosti. Za što bolje realiziranje Montessori pedagogije, Maria Montessori navela je neka načela kojih se odgajatelji i učitelji trebaju držati.Alternative forms of education appeared as early as the 18th century as a result of the desire for children to be raised freely through work and play. Even in those “ancient” times, parents and teachers, but also students themselves, wanted a different type of pedagogy: a pedagogy that is child-centred, i.e. a pedagogy centred on the child or the student. Alternative schools focus on individuals, but also meet their needs when it comes to their education. Maria Montessori (1870-1952) was an Italian physician and educator. From 1899 to 1902 she worked in a school which trained teachers to educate mentally disabled children. She also organized the upbringing of children age three to six in the poor San Lorenzo district in Italy. Maria Montessori’s basic pedagogical idea was to create conditions for the self-education and self-discipline of children. Rudolf Steiner based his pedagogical idea on theosophy, i.e. anthroposophy. He was the founder of the famous Waldorf School (1919). This paper focuses on the comparative analysis of pedagogical ideas and practices, as well as didactic features of Maria Montessori’s and Rudolf Steiner’s education forms. Maria Montessori bases her understanding of education, children and school on the idea of Christianity, as well as pedagogy, psychology and medical science. For her pedagogy to be implemented in the best possible manner, Maria Montessori listed certain principles for educators and teachers to adhere to

    Svjedoci smo kako se dolaskom napredne tehnologije sve veći broj ljudi prestao aktivno baviti bilo kakvom tjelesnom aktivnošću, a to dovodi do pretilosti, odnosno prekomjerne tjelesne težine i obolijevanja sve većeg broja ljudi u svijetu od različitih bolesti. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrditi postoji li statistički značajna povezanost između kardiorespiratornog fitnessa i razine tjelesne aktivnosti. Istraživanje je provedeno na uzorku od 129 ispitanica Učiteljskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu – Odsjeka u Čakovcu prosječne dobi od 21 godine. Uzorak varijabli obuhvaća Beep test koji je poznat kao i PACER (Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Enduracne Run), a tjelesna aktivnost studentica ispitana je Baeckerovim upitnikom „The Questionnaire of Baecke et al for Measurement of a Person's Habitual Phisical Activity“. Ovim istraživanjem, prema referentnim vrijednostima maksimalnog primitka kisika prema Heywardu (1998), 55% ispitanica ostvarilo je jako slabe rezultate, 37.2% ispitanica postiglo je slabi rezultat, samo 6.2% ispitanica postiglo je prosječan rezultat, a veoma mali udio ispitanica, njih 1.6% ostvario dobar rezultat, dok ni jedna od ispitanica nije ostvarila odličan ili superioran rezultat. Prema referentnim vrijednostima maksimalnog primitka kisika prema LeBlancu (2016), 51.2% ispitanica ostvarilo je slabe rezultate, 33.3% ispitanica postiglo je ispodprosječan rezultat, prosječan rezultat postiglo je 13.2% ispitanica, a dobar rezultat ostvario je najmanji broj ispitanica, njih 2.3%. Prosječna vrijednost maksimalnog primitka kisika svih 129 ispitanica ovog istraživanja iznosila je 23.70 ml/kg/min, dok je prosječna vrijednost ukupne tjelesne aktivnosti iznosila 8.42. U istraživanju je dobivena značajna i niska pozitivna povezanost svih varijabli Beep testa i indeksa sporta (r=0.28 – 0.30). Dobivene su značajne pozitivne vrijednosti koeficijenata korelacije između indeksa slobodnog vremena i svih varijabli Beep testa (r=0.22 i 0.23), dok su najveći koeficijenti s vrijednostima pozitivnog smjera dobiveni između ukupne tjelesne aktivnosti i svih varijabli testa (r=0.29). Rezultati sugeriraju kako ispitanice koje imaju viši indeks u tjelesnim aktivnostima sporta, slobodnog vremena i ukupne tjelesne aktivnosti postižu bolje rezultate u testu kardiorespiratornog fitnesa, a vrijedi i obrnuto. U današnje vrijeme zaokupljenosti sa različitim sjedilačkim aktivnostima, veoma je bitno baviti se tjelesnom aktivnošću od najranije dobi jer bavljenjem bilo kakvom tjelesnom aktivnošću sprječavamo nastanak raznih bolesti, ali postajemo i pokretači zdravog način življenja koji je prijeko potreban ne samo određenim pojedincima, već cjelokupnom današnjem društvu.We are witnessing that with the advent of advanced technology an increasing number of people have stopped actively engaging in any physical activity, and this leads to obesity in other words overweight and the growing number of people in the world getting sick from various diseases. The aim of this study was to determine whether there is a statistically significant association between cardiorespiratory fitness and physical activity levels. The research was conducted with a sample of 129 respondents from the Faculty of Teacher Education, University of Zagreb - Department in Čakovec, with an average age of 21 years. The sample of variables used was made of the Beep test, also known as the PACER (Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Enduracne Run), while the students physical activity was examined with the Baecker questionnaire "The Questionnaire of Baecke et al for Measurement of a Person's Habitual Physical Activity". With this study according to the reference values of maximum oxygen intake according to Heyward (1998), 55% of respondents achieved very poor results, 37.2% of respondents achieved a poor result, only 6.2% of respondents achieved an average score, and a very small proportion of respondents, 1.6% of them achieved a good result, while none of the respondents achieved an excellent or superior result. According to the reference values of maximum oxygen intake according to LeBlanc (2016), 51.2% of respondents achieved poor results, 33.3% of respondents achieved below-average results, an average result was achieved by 13.2% of respondents, and a good result was achieved by the lowest number of respondents , 2.3% of them. According to these reference values, the respondents did not achieved very poor, very good or excellent results. With the results obtained by using the Beep test was calculated the average value of the maximum oxygen intake of all 129 subjects in this study, and it was 23.70 ml / kg / min. The average value of the total physical activity of female students obtained using the Baecke questionnaire was 8.42. The study obtained a significant and low positive correlation between all variables of the Beep test and the sports index (r = 0.28 - 0.30). The value of the positive value of the correlation coefficients between the leisure time index and all Beep test variables (r = 0.22 and 0.23) was obtained, while the largest coefficients with positive direction values were obtained between total physical activity and all test variables (r = 0, 29). The results suggest that respondents who have a higher index in physical activities, sports, leisure and overall physical activity, achieve better results in the cardiorespiratory fitness test, and vice versa. In today's time of preoccupation with various sedentary activities, it is very important to engage in physical activity at the earliest age, because engaging in any physical activity prevents getting various diseases, but also becomes a initiator of a healthy lifestyle that is essential not only for individuals but for entire society today

    Nastava je kompleksan proces koji se sastoji od nastavnika koji poučava i učenika koji uči. Tradicionalna predavačka nastava već neko vrijeme nije ono što je učenicima potrebno, već treba težiti suvremenoj nastavi koja je usmjerena na učenika. Kako bi nastavni proces bio kvalitetniji, moramo što češće koristiti izvornu stvarnost, nastavna sredstva i pomagala te provoditi izvanučioničku nastavu. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati neka mišljenja nastavnika o izvornoj stvarnosti u nastavi Prirode i društva. Istraživanje je provedeno pomoću online anketnog upitnika u kojem je sudjelovalo 110 nastavnika iz Republike Hrvatske, Bosne i Hercegovine i Crne Gore. Rezultati su pokazali kako većina nastavnika koristi izvornu stvarnost u nastavi Prirode i društva nekoliko puta mjesečno. Također, ispostavilo se kako nastavnici češće koriste izvornu stvarnost u nastavi Prirode i društva nego u drugim nastavnim predmetima. Upitnik je pokazao da se većina ispitanika slaže s tvrdnjom da je učenicima zanimljivije na satu i da lakše i brže nauče novi nastavni sadržaj ako se na satu koristi izvorna stvarnost. Istraživanjem se utvrdilo kako ne postoji statistički značajna razlika u korištenju izvorne stvarnosti kod nastavnika koji rade na selu i u gradu. Isto tako, ispostavilo se kako postoji statistički značajna razlika u korištenju izvorne stvarnosti u nastavnika koji imaju više od 15 godina radnog staža, od nastavnika koji imaju manje od 15 godina radnog staža. Većina nastavnika bila je suglasna s konstatacijom da izvorna stvarnost može biti besmislena ako se ne koristi na pravi način te su se složili s tvrdnjom kako se izvorna stvarnost ne koristi dovoljno u nastavi Prirode i društva.Teaching is a complex process involving a teacher who teaches and students who learn. Traditional lecturing hasn't been what the students require for a while. Instead, what the students need are modern teaching methods centered around them. For the teaching process to be better, realia, teaching resources and aids as well as field teaching need to be incorporated. The goal of this research is to determine the opinions of teachers considering realia in Science and Social Studies lessons. Research data was collected through an online form which has been filled out by 110 teachers from Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. The results have shown that most of the teachers use realia in their Science and Social Studies lessons a few times per month and that they use realia in teaching Science and Social Studies more often than in teaching other subjects. Additionally, most of the teachers agree with the statement that if realia is used, the lessons are more interesting for the students and they learn the new material easier and quicker. It has also been indicated by the results that there isn't a statistically significant difference in using realia between teachers in rural and teachers in urban areas. What is more, there is a statistically significant difference in using realia between the teachers with fewer and more than 15 years of experience. Most of the teachers agree with the statement that realia can be useless if not used in the correct way. Lastly, the teachers agree that realia is not being used enough in Science and Social Studies lessons

    Cilj ovog završnog rada bio je prikazati utjecaj tjelesne aktivnosti na djetetov rast i razvoj te osvijestiti važnost bavljenja različitim oblicima tjelesne aktivnosti od najranije životne dobi. Tjelesna aktivnost obuhvaća svaki pokret koji je napravljen s ciljem utroška energije većeg od razine mirovanja. Tjelesna aktivnost utječe na kompletan djetetov organizam te daje pozitivne učinke u fizičkom i u psihičkom smislu. Utječe na razvoj kompletnog antropološkog statusa, a to znači da utječe na: antropometrijske (morfološke) karakteristike, motoričke sposobnosti, funkcionalne sposobnosti, kognitivne sposobnosti, konativne osobine ili osobine ličnosti i socijalni status. Djeca koja se redovito bave tjelesnim aktivnostima lakše reguliraju svoju tjelesnu težinu, a samim time su i manje sklonija bolestima u odnosu na djecu koja imaju prekomjernu tjelesnu masu i više vremena provode u sjedilačkim aktivnostima. Djeca koja se bave tjelesnom aktivnošću ili sportom, često su vedrija pozitivnija, psihički stabilnija i zapravo sveukupno sretnija. Stoga, je vrlo važno da odgojitelji u ustanovama ranog i predškolskog odgoja i obrazovanja, redovito provode i uključuju djecu u razne tjelesne aktivnosti. To mogu biti aktivnosti tjelesnog odgoja, poticajno tjelesno vježbanje, jutarnje tjelesno vježbanje, aktivne tjelesne pauze, tjelesno vježbanje s roditeljima, sportski trening, šetnja ili zabavni sadržaji kao što su izleti, zimovanja i ljetovanja. Odgojitelji trebaju djeci osigurati sigurne uvjete za bavljenje tjelesnom aktivnošću te svojim pozitivnim stavom utjecati na stvaranje pozitivnih navika vježbanja kod djece. Veliki faktor za uključivanje djece u sportske aktivnosti izvan predškolske ustanove su njihovi roditelji. Opće je poznata narodna poslovica „Jabuka ne pada daleko od stabla“, koja nam govori kako djeca uzimaju primjer ponašanja od roditelja i zatim takvo ponašanje i sami projiciraju. Iz tog razloga je bitno da roditelji svakodnevno prakticiraju neki oblik tjelesnog vježbanja te da u to uključuju i djecu. Da budu djeci podrška i potaknu ih da se uključe u neki sportski program.The aim of this final work was to give insight into the importance of the physical activities on childrens growth and development, also to raise awareness about practising different kinds of physical activities from early ages. Physical activity includes every movement that is made with goal to use more energy than level of inaction. Physical activitiy has an influence on complete childrens organism and is giving positive results both physically and psychologically. It affects development of anthropological status which means it affects: anthropometric (morphological) characteristics, motor skills, functional skills, cognitive skills, conative characteristics or personalitiy characteristics and social status. Children who regularly pracitse physical activities control their wight easier, which means they are less prone to diseases overweight children struggle with. Children who play sporsts or practise physical activities are often more cheerful and positive, mentally stable, and all around happier. That is why is important for educators in institutions of early and preschool education to include children regularly in different physical activities. Those can be activites of physical education, stimulating physical exercising, morning physical exercise, physical activity brakes, physical training with parents, sports training, walking or entertainment content such as excursions, winter brakes and summer brakes. Educators have to ensure safe conditions for physical activity and affect childrend with their positive attitude so they can develop positive exercise habits. Parents are big factor in including children in sport activities outside of institution. „Apples does not fall far from tree.“ is well known proverb, and it means that children take an example in their parents behaviour and then project that behavior themselves. That is why is important for parents to practise some kind of physical activity include their children. They should support their children and encourage them to join some sport program

    Socijalizacija je proces tijekom kojeg se djeca i mladi uvode u određenu kulturu, stječu odgovarajuće stavove i vrednote, uče različite životne uloge i razvijaju prihvatljivo društveno ponašanje. Osnovni zadatak procesa socijalizacije vezan je uz prenošenje vrijednosnog sustava na mlađu generaciju. Ovim radom, pod naslovom ˝Socijalizacija djece s teškoćama u razvoju u predškolskim ustanovama˝, ukazuje se na prepreke, prilike i mogućnosti socijalizacije djece s teškoćama unutar predškolskih ustanova. Puna socijalna integracija djece s teškoćama u razvoju je nemoguća bez poboljšanja kvalitete njihova života, što podrazumijeva potpuni pristup znanju, obrazovanju i kulturnim vrijednostima koje tvore njihove osobnosti i njihove ideje o svijetu, kao i potpuno sudjelovanje u svim oblicima društvenog i kulturnog života. Socijalizacija je važna za malu djecu. Posebno je važno za djecu s posebnim potrebama. Nijedno dijete nije rođeno s urođenom vještinom za razumijevanje socijalnih vještina, a djeci s posebnim potrebama može trebati više vremena i truda da se snađu. Pravilnom socijalizacijom dijete može naučiti kako komunicirati u svijetu i uživati u socijalnim situacijama. Ako dijete nije pravilno socijalizirano, borit će se s tim svakodnevnim stvarima. Neće znati dijeliti ili postavljati granice, što je neophodno za izgradnju zdravih odnosa. Kao rezultat toga, borit će se za uspostavljanje značajnih veza sa svojim vršnjacima što se najčešće vidi unutar predškolskih ustanova. Djeca s teškoćama u razvoju ili posebnim potrebama mogu se boriti za interakciju sa svojim vršnjacima. Svako dijete s posebnim potrebama je drugačije. I svaku vrstu invaliditeta ili potrebe treba tretirati drugačije. Predškolske ustanove mogu izmijeniti svako dijete i prikupiti uvide o njima koje će nakon toga moći podijeliti sa roditeljima i time zajednički pomoći djetetu u njegovoj socijalnoj interakciji. Sve to navedeno prikazano je detaljno unutar ovoga rada.Socialization is a process during which children and young people are introduced to a particular culture, acquire appropriate attitudes and values, learn different life roles and develop acceptable social behavior. The main task of the socialization process is related to the transmission of the value system to the younger generation. This paper, entitled "Socialization of children with disabilities in preschool institutions", points out the obstacles, opportunities and opportunities for socialization of children with disabilities within preschool institutions. Full social integration of children with disabilities is impossible without improving their quality of life, which means full access to knowledge, education and cultural values that make up their personalities and their ideas about the world, as well as full participation in all forms of social and cultural life that is important for young children. It is especially important for children with special needs. No child is born with an innate skill to understand social skills, and children with special needs may need more time and effort to cope. With proper socialization, a child can learn how to communicate in the world and enjoy social situations. If a child is not socialized properly, he will struggle with these everyday things. They will not know how to share or set boundaries, which is necessary for building healthy relationships. As a result, they will struggle to establish meaningful connections with their peers that is most commonly seen within preschools. Children with developmental disabilities or special needs may struggle to interact with their peers. Every child with special needs is different. And each type of disability or need should be treated differently. Preschool institutions can change each child and gather insights about them, which they will then be able to share with parents and thus jointly help the child in his social interaction. All of the above is presented in detail within this paper

    Živimo u vremenu u kojem smo okruženi lako dostupnim informacijama i znanjima. Nekad su se pismenim osobama smatrale samo osobe koje su znale čitati i pisati, ali danas se pojam pismenosti značajno promijenio i definira se drukčije. Čovjeku su potrebne različite sposobnosti kako bi se prilagodio promjenama u svijetu znanosti i tehnologije, a jedna od tih sposobnosti je i prirodoslovna (znanstvena) pismenost. Djeca su po naravi veoma znatiželjna i povezana s prirodom jer od najranije dobi igrom i različitim aktivnostima sudjeluju u istraživanju prirode i stvaranju slike o prirodi. Učenici u školu dolaze s određenim predznanjima o prirodi, a u predmetu Priroda i društvo imaju mogućnost nadopunjavati svoja znanja i razvijati prirodoslovnu pismenost. Zadaća učitelja je da prepozna ta znanja i pruži adekvatne materijale i uvjete u kojima će učenici moći razvijati i nadograđivati svoju prirodoslovnu pismenost. Suvremeni oblik nastave pruža učenicima mogućnost da samostalno istražuju i zaključuju te razvijaju spoznaje kroz osobna iskustva koja će im kasnije biti potrebna za rad i život. Cilj ovog rada bio je ukazati na važnost razvoja prirodoslovne pismenosti i učenja istraživanjem. U radu je prikazano nekoliko praktičnih radova s ciljem učenja otkrivanjem i poticanja prirodoslovne pismenosti kod učenika. Ti praktični radovi zapravo su pokusi koji se mogu koristiti u nastavi. Prema rezultatima PISA 2018, Hrvatska je zemlja s ispodprosječnim rezultatom u prirodoslovnoj pismenosti. To pokazuje na nužnost uključivanja prirodoslovnih znanja u nastavu kao način spoznaje i poboljšanja prirodoslovne pismenosti učenika. Prirodoslovno područje ima važnu ulogu u odgoju i cjeloživotnom obrazovanju te je povezano sa STEM obrazovnim pristupom.We live in time in which we are surrounded easily accessible informations and knowledges. In the past, only people who could read and write were considered literate, but today the concept of literacy has changed significantly and is defined differently. Man needs different abilities to adapt to changes in the world of science and technology, and one of those is natural science literacy. Children are very curious by nature and connected to nature because from the earliest age they participate in the exploration of nature and the creation image of nature through play and various activities. Students come to school with some prior knowledge of nature, and in the subject Nature and Society they have the opportunity to supplement their knowledge and develop natural science literacy. The role of teacher is to recognize this knowledge and provide adequate materials and conditions in which students will be able to develop and upgrade their natural science literacy. The modern form of teaching provides students opportunity for independent research and conclusion and develop knowledge through personal experiences that they will need later for work and life. The aim of this work was to point out the importance of develop natural science literacy and learning by research. In this work are also presented several practical works with the aim of learning by discovery encouraging natural science literacy at students. This practical works are experiments actually which can be used in classroom teaching. According to the results, Croatia is a country with below average results in natural science literacy. It shows of necessity inclusion natural science knowledge in teaching as a way of knowing and improvement natural science literacy at students. Natural science area has an important role in upbringing and lifelong education and it is connected with the STEM educational approach

U radu su objašnjeni i uspoređeni termini koji se koriste u Nastavnom planu i programu za osnovnu školu i Kurikulumu od prvog do četvrtog razreda, ali isključivo s naglaskom na pojmove poput pripovijedanja i dramske igre iz nastavnoga predmeta Hrvatski jezik. U radu se navodi veza između pripovijedanja i improvizacija te se definira i utvrđuje njihova sličnost i razlika. Treći dio rada opisuje i prezentira istraživanje. Istraživanjem se željelo ispitati jesu li se učitelji razredne nastave susreli s pojmovima pripovijedanje i dramska igra, njihovim vrijednostima i koriste li ih u svome radu. Ključan problem kojim se istraživanje bavi je pronalaženje i otkrivanje razloga zašto se spomenute metode ne koriste u radu te je li problem u procesu obrazovanja učitelja ili manjku vremena. Dobiveni rezultati prikazuju da su učitelji upoznati s pojmovima te prepoznaju njihove vrednote, međutim zbog strukturnih razloga koji obuhvaćaju sam nastavni proces i program nisu u mogućnosti adekvatno koristiti pripovijedanje i dramsku igru kao alate za razvoj kreativnosti i govorničkih vještina u radu s djecom.This graduate thesis deals with the topic of Storytelling and dramatic play in the lower grades of primary school. The thesis is divided into three parts: storytelling, dramatic play and research. The first part of the thesis focuses on storytelling and includes key terms such as: storytelling, story and the narrator. The second part of the thesis refers to dramatic play and includes key terms such as: dramatic play, dramatic education and improvisation. The theoretical part which discusses storytelling includes the following chapters: Story, Theoretical definition of a story, Stories in a child's life, About storytelling and retelling, The importance of storytelling and Narrator's competences. The theoretical part that discusses dramatic play includes the chapters Dramatic education, Dramatic expression, Dramatic creativity, Dramatic culture, Dramatic play, Rules of dramatic play and the role of the drama teacher, Teacher’s competences and Improvisation. The thesis also explains and compares the terms that are used in the Curriculum for primary school and the Curriculum from the first to the fourth grade, but exclusively with an emphasis on concepts such as storytelling and dramatic play from the school subject Croatian language. The thesis explains the connection between storytelling and improvisation and their similarities and differences are defined. The third part of the thesis describes and presents the research. The aim of the research was to examine whether primary school teachers have encountered the concepts and the values of storytelling and dramatic play and whether they are using them in their work. The key problem the research addresses is finding and discovering the reasons why they are not used in the teaching and whether the problem is in the process of the teacher's education or lack of time. The obtained results show that teachers are familiar with the concepts and that they recognize their values, but due to structural reasons that include the teaching process and the program, they are not able to adequately use storytelling and dramatic play as tools for developing creativity and speaking skills in children

    Pravilna je prehrana oduvijek bila važna za zdravlje, a s vremenom se sve više daje na važnosti raznolikoj i raznovrsnoj prehrani. Djeca mlađe školske dobi ponajviše bi trebala imati pravilno raspoređene obroke s obzirom na njihovu aktivnost te provođenje vremena tijekom dana u školi u kojoj također konzumiraju neke od obroka. Raznolikost i raznovrsnost njihovim obroka znači da se njihova prehrana treba sastojati od namirnica iz svih kategorija koje su raspoređene u pet obroka tijekom dana. Veoma važnu ulogu u formiranju zdravih prehrambenih navika kod djece mlađe školske dobi imaju njihovi roditelji koji su svojim primjerom najveći uzor djeci. Važnu ulogu također imaju i učitelji s kojima djeca svakodnevno provode vrijeme, učitelji svojim znanjem i trudom mogu prenijeti i stvoriti kod djece zdrave prehrambene navike za njihovu budućnost. U svrhu ovog rada provedeno je anketno istraživanje učenika 3. i 4. razreda osnovne škole u kojim su se istražile prehrambene navike učenika mlađe školske dobi. Djeca ponajviše trebaju izbjegavati konzumiranje velike količine slatkiša i grickalica, izbjegavati zaslađene napitke te ih zamijeniti s vodom, a povećati unos voća i povrća. Zaključno, istraživanjem se utvrdilo da učenici imaju relativno dobre prehrambene navike koje su u skladu s Nacionalnim smjernicama za prehranu učenika u osnovnoj školi te se većina njih u svoje slobodno vrijeme bavi nekom sportskom aktivnošću.Proper nutrition has always been important for health, and over time more and more importance is given to a diverse and varied diet. Children of younger school age should most of all have properly arranged meals with regard to their activity and time spending during the day at school where they also consume some of the meals. The diversity and variety of their meals means that their diet should consist of foods from all categories arranged into five meals throughout the day. A very important role in the formation of healthy eating habits of children of younger school age is played by their parents, who by their example are the greatest role models to their children. An important role is also played by teachers, with whom children spend time every day, and teachers are the ones who, with their knowledge and effort, can pass on and create future healthy eating habits for children. For the purpose of this paper, a survey of 3rd and 4th grade primary school students was conducted in which the eating habits of younger school age students were researched. Children should most of all avoid consuming large amounts of sweets and snacks, avoid sugary drinks and replace them with water, and also increase the intake of fruits and vegetables. In conclusion, the research showed that students have relatively good eating habits that are in line with the National Guidelines for the Nutrition of Elementary School Students, and most of them engage in some sort of sports activity in their free time

    Tema ovog diplomskog rada je Povezanost prehrane i indeksa tjelesne mase kod djece rane i predškolske dobi te je rad podijeljen u dvije cjeline, prva se odnosi na teorijski dio, a drugi obuhvaća samo istraživanje. Zdrava odnosno pravilna prehrana, a posebice ona u djece, mnogo je više od same životne potrebe za unosom energije i gradivnih elemenata u organizam. Prehrana se sastoji od složenih socijalnih i psiholoških elemenata koji su ključni za optimalan rast i razvoj djeteta te za njegovo zdravlje u odrasloj dobi. S obzirom da se zdrave navike i stil života oblikuje već od najranije dobi, ovo je vrlo važna tema u ranoj i predškolskoj dobi djece. Nezdrave prehrambene navike, neredovita prehrana i nedovoljna tjelesna aktivnost dovode do sve učestalijeg javnozdravstvenog problema – debljine. S obzirom da se sve češće susrećemo i s preuhranjenošću i debljinom kod djece, važno je raditi na prevenciji debljine, te istovremeno isticati važnost pravilne prehrane i tjelesne aktivnosti kod djece. U istraživanju koje sam provela unutar diplomskog rada cilj je bio objasniti u kolikoj mjeri prehrana utječe na indeks tjelesne mase kod djece rane i predškolske dobi. Kroz istraživanje se nastoji ustanoviti što i na koji način utječe na formiranje prehrambenih navika kod djece te kako su te iste navike povezane s njihovim indeksom tjelesne mase. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 48 djece u dobi između 5 i 7 godina. Rezultati su pokazali kako su nezavisna i zavisna varijabla nedovoljno povezane, odnosno da nezdravu prehranu ne prati uvijek ITM koji izlazi iz okvira primjerene uhranjenosti. Također, u djece koja imaju previsok ITM nisu se pojavljivala obilježja neredovitih obroka, nedovoljne tjelesne aktivnosti ili konzumacije nezdravih namirnica. U obzir treba uzeti kako je moguće da su neka pitanja roditelji različito interpretirali pa bi u budućim istraživanjima trebalo detaljnije objasniti svako pitanje te istražiti kako roditelji pripremaju određene namirnice i koju količinu određene namirnice njihova djeca konzumiraju.The topic of this thesis is Relationship between nutrition and body mass index in children of early and preschool age, and the paper is divided into two parts, the first one relates to the theoretical part, and the second covers the research. Healthy or proper nutrition, especially in children, is much more than the vital need for energy and building elements in the body. Nutrition consists of complex social and psychological elements that are crucial for the optimal growth and development of the child and for his health in adulthood. Given that healthy habits and lifestyles are formed from an early age, this is a very important topic in the early and preschool age of children. Unhealthy eating habits, irregular diet and insufficient physical activity lead to an increasingly common public health problem - obesity. Given that we are increasingly encountering overweight and obese children, it is important to work on the prevention of obesity, and at the same time emphasize the importance of proper nutrition and physical activity in children. In the research I conducted within my thesis, the aim was to explain to what extent diet affects body mass index in children of early and preschool age. The research seeks to establish what and in what way influences the formation of eating habits in children and how these same habits are related to their body mass index. The study involved 48 children aged between 5 and 7 years. The results showed that the independent and dependent variables are insufficiently related, more precisely that an unhealthy diet is not always accompanied by a BMI that goes beyond adequate nutrition. Also, children with too high BMI did not show signs of irregular meals, insufficient physical activity, or consumption of unhealthy foods. It should be taken into account that it is possible that some questions have been interpreted differently by parents, so future research should explain each question in more detail and investigate how parents prepare certain foods and how much of certain foods their children consume
