Vrednovanje programa kinezioloÅ”ke aktivnosti u mjeÅ”ovitoj jasliÄkoj skupini
Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je kvantitativno i kvalitativno vrednovati izraÄeni godiÅ”nji program za aktivnost tjelesne i zdarvstvene kulture s djecom jasliÄke dobi. Kvantitativno se vrednovao procjenom motoriÄkih postignuÄa iz domena svladavanje pokreta, prepreka, otpora i baratanje predmetima, dok je kvalitativno procjenjen putem sastavnica vrednovanja vrsta motoriÄkih sadržaja koji Äe se provoditi s djecom u pojedinom dijelu aktivnosti tjelesne i zdravstvene kulture.
Uzorak ispitanika Äini 63 djece jasliÄke dobi iz DV Rijeka, odnosno 33 djece u eksperimentalnoj i 30 djece u kontrolnoj grupi. Uzorak kvantitativnih varijabli Äine Äetiri testa za procjenu motoriÄkih postignuÄa temeljena na razliÄitim strukturama kretanja koje omoguÄuju svladavanje prostora, prepreka, otpora i baratanje predmetima. Uzorak kvalitativnih varijabli kreiran je na temelju opažanja djece tijekom provoÄenja razliÄitih vrsta motoriÄkih sadržaja u pojedinom dijelu aktivnosti tjelesne i zdravstvene kulture, odnosno sve su vrste motoriÄkih sadržaja u pojedinim dijelovima analizirane prema sljedeÄim sastavnicama: provedivost, zainteresiranost, kvaliteta, ukljuÄenost, usvojivost, trajanje i efikasnost. Razlike izmeÄu eksperimentalne i kontrolne grupe testirane su Studentovim t-testom za nezavisne uzorke, dok je za razlike u istoj grupi izmeÄu inicijalnog i finalnog mjerenja koriÅ”ten Studentov t-test za zavisne uzorke. Aktivnosti su snimane vido kamerom te je za rezultate kvalitativne analize koriÅ”tena metoda opservacije.
Rezultati su pokazali kako je vrednovani program postigao izvrsne rezultate u napretku motoriÄkih postignuÄa. Eksperimentalna grupa postigla je statistiÄki znaÄajno (p = 0.00) bolje rezultate u svim domenama (prostor, prepreke, otpor, baratanje) od kontrolene grupe. Najprikladniji sadržaji za uvodni dio aktivnosti su zajedniÄke i hvataÄke kinezioloÅ”ke igre, za pripremni dio vježbe u mjestu, za glavni āAā dio potrebno je sustavno provoditi sadržaje iz svih kretnih struktura, odnosno svladavanje prostora, prepreka, otpora i baratanje predmetima. U glavnom āBā dijelu najprikladnijim sadržajem procjenjen je poligon, a u zavrÅ”nom dijelu aktivnosti to su Äitanje priÄe, igrokaz, kinezioloÅ”ke igre i zdravstveno ā higijenski postupci.
Možemo zakljuÄiti kako aktivnost tjelesne i zdravstvene kulture znaÄajno pospjeÅ”uje motoriÄke sposobnosti i znanja djece, a to se oÄituje u njihovim motoriÄkim postignuÄima. Ovo istraživanje predstavlja svojevrsnu podlogu za daljnji razvoj i napredak u podruÄju kinezioloÅ”kih aktivnosti s djecom jasliÄke, tj. rane dobi. Istraživanjem je dokazano kako je provoÄenje aktivnosti u skupini djece rane dobi zaista moguÄe.The aim of this study was to quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate the annual program for the activity of physical education with children of early age. Quantitative evaluated by estimating the motor achievements from the domain of mastering movements, obstacles, resistances and handling objects, while qualitatively estimating through the components of evaluation of the types of motor content that implemented with children in a specific part of physical education activities. A sample of 63 children of early age from DV Rijeka, 33 children in experimental and 30 children in the control group, were tested. A sample of quantitative variables consists of four tests to assess the motor achievements based on different movement structures which enable the mastering space, obstacles, resistance and handling objects. A sample of qualitative variables was created based on the observation of children while performing various types of motor content in a specific part of the physical and health culture activities, ie all types of motor content in some parts were analyzed by the following components: feasibility, interest, quality, inclusion, adoption, duration and efficiency. Differences between the experimental and control groups were tested by Student's t-test for independent samples, while Student's t-test for dependent samples was used for differences between the initial and final measurements for the same group. Activities were recorded with a camera and the observation method used for the qualitative analysis.The results showed that the evaluated program achieved excellent results in the advancement of motor achievements. The experimental group achieved statistically significant (p = 0.00) better results in all domains (space, barriers, resistance, handling) of the control group.
The most appropriate contents for the introductory part are the common and catching kinesiology game activities, for the preparatory part the exercise in the place, for the main "A" part space mastering, obstacles and handling objects. In the main "B" part, the most suitable content has been evaluated is polygon, and in the final part of the activity these are reading stories, playing, kinesiological games and health - hygienic procedures.
We can conclude that physical activity and exercise enhance the motor skills of children and greatly affect their motor skills, which is reflected in their motor achievements.This research is a kind of platform for further development and advancement in the field of kinesiological activities with children of early age. Research has shown that implementation of activities in a group of early childhood children is really possible

Djeca rane dobi: ukljuÄenost s obzirom na razliÄite vrste motoriÄkih sadržaja i multimedije tijekom njihove realizacije
The aim of the study is to determine whether children of an early age take equal part in all offered types of motor contents and various types of realisation accompanied by multimedia. The sample of examinees comprised 63 children who were on average 2.3 years old and who attended the regular integrated programme in Kindergarten Rijeka. The variables are formed by types of motor content which can be performed during kinesiological activities: biotic motor knowledge, kinesiological games, preparatory games, motor content accompanied by multimedia. The activities were recorded by a video camera; the observation method and the chi-square test were applied. Results show that there is a statistically significant difference in the childrenās involvement regarding the types of motor contents and the application of multimedia. The highest involvement was present in the following contents: mastering obstacles, handling objects, individual kinesiological games, general preparatory exercises in place, while regarding the multimedia, during the realisation of motor contents children mostly preferred music. The lowest involvement was in the following contents: mastering resistance and team kinesiological games.
When planning kinesiological activities with children of an early age, it is necessary to respect their interest which will then increase motivation and efficacy in organised physical exercising.Cilj istraživanja je utvrditi sudjeluju li djeca rane dobi podjednako u svim ponuÄenim vrstama motoriÄkih sadržaja i razliÄitim vrstama njihove realizacije koje omoguÄuje i multimedija. Uzorak ispitanika Äinilo je 63 djece prosjeÄne dobi od 2,3 godine koja su pohaÄala redoviti integrirani program u DjeÄjem vrtiÄu Rijeka. Varijable su formirane tipovima motoriÄkih sadržaja koji se mogu izvoditi tijekom kinezioloÅ”kih aktivnosti: biotiÄko motoriÄko znanje, kinezioloÅ”ke igre, pripremne igre, motoriÄki sadržaj uz multimediju. Aktivnosti su snimljene videokamerom, a primijenjene su metode ukljuÄivale promatranje i hi-kvadrat test. Rezultati pokazuju da postoji statistiÄki znaÄajna razlika u ukljuÄenosti djece u pogledu tipova motoriÄkih sadržaja i primjene multimedije. NajveÄa ukljuÄenost zabilježena je u sljedeÄim sadržajima: svladavanje prepreka, rukovanje objektima, individualne kinezioloÅ”ke igre te opÄe pripremne vježbe na mjestu, dok u kontekstu multimedije tijekom realizacije motoriÄkih sadržaja djeca uglavnom preferiraju glazbu. Najmanja ukljuÄenost zabilježena je u sljedeÄim sadržajima: svladavanje otpora i timske kinezioloÅ”ke igre. Kod planiranja kinezioloÅ”kih aktivnosti u djece rane dobi potrebno je poÅ”tivati njihov interes, Å”to Äe poveÄati motivaciju i uÄinkovitost pri organiziranoj tjelesnoj aktivnosti

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je usporediti motoriÄke sposobnosti djece rane i predÅ”kolske dobi koja treniraju atletiku i gimnastiku s obzirom na sport i na spol. Odabrano je Å”est testova kojima su kod djece izmjerene ravnoteža, koordinacija, brzina, eksplozivna snaga, repetitivna snaga i fleksibilnost. S obzirom na navedeni cilj, postavljeno je sedam hipoteza. Uzorak ispitanika Äini 65 djece rane i predÅ”kolske dobi, toÄnije, 33 djeÄaka i 32 djevojÄice u dobi od 3 do 7 godina. Ukupni uzorak djece podijeljen je na djecu koja treniraju atletiku i djecu koja treniraju gimnastiku. Podaci su prikupljeni u dva grada u Republici Hrvatskoj, u 2 atletska i 2 gimnastiÄka kluba. Uzorak varijabli Äini Å”est testova za procjenu motoriÄkih sposobnosti djece, a kreirani su prema uputama V. Horvata (2010). Svi mjereni podaci obraÄeni su i analizirani u programu STATISTIKA 13.0. Rezultati su prikazani u obliku grafiÄkih priloga i tablica. Razlike izmeÄu atletiÄara i gimnastiÄara testirane su Studentovim t-testom. StatistiÄka razina znaÄajnosti testirana je uz pogreÅ”ku p= 0,05%. Istraživanjem je utvrÄena statistiÄki znaÄajna razlika izmeÄu djece atletiÄara i gimnastiÄara u testovima pretklon u sijedu (fleksibilnost), skok u dalj iz mjesta (eksplozivna snaga) te taping rukom (brzina). StatistiÄki znaÄajna razlika u sva navedena tri testa u korist je djece gimnastiÄara. Uvidom u rezultate po spolu, utvrÄena je statistiÄki znaÄajna razlika u korist djevojÄica u testu pretklon u sijedu (fleksibilnost) te u korist djeÄaka u testu skok u dalj iz mjesta (eksplozivna snaga). Može se zakljuÄiti kako atletika i gimnastika, kao baziÄni sportovi, znaÄajno utjeÄu na razvoj motoriÄkih sposobnosti djece ranog i predÅ”kolskog uzrasta.The aim of the study was to compare motor skills of children early and preschool age that train athletics and gymnastics, based on sport and gender. Six tests were chosen by which children balance, coordination, speed, explosive power, repetitive power and flexibility were measured. Considering the aim of the study, seven hypotheses were set.
The sample consists of 65 early and preschool children, exactly 33 boys and 32 girls in age from 3 to 7. Total sample of children is divided on children who train athletics and children who train gymnastics. Data were collected in two cities in the Republic of Croatia, in 2 athletics and 2 gymnastics clubs. The sample of variables consist of six tests for children motor abilities assessment, which were created according to the instructions of V. Horvat (2010). All measured data were processed and analyzed in the STATISTICA 13.0 program. The results are presented in the form of graphical elements and tables. The difference between athletics and gymnastics were tested using Student's t-test. Statistical level of significance was tested using error p=0,05%.
The study found a statistically significant difference between children who train athletics and gymnastics in tests of flexibility, explosive power and speed. A statistically significant difference in all of these three tests is in favor of children who train gymnastics. Considering results based on children's gender, a statistically significant difference was found in favor of girls in the flexibility test and in favor of boys in the explosive power test. It can be concluded that athletics and gymnastics, as basic sports, are making a significant impact on motor skills of early and preschool age children
