The role of pets in education of younger school-age children

Abstract

U radu se polazi od povijesti pripitomljavanja životinja do njihovog suživota s ljudima u novijem dobu. Kućni su ljubimci postali ravnopravni članovi obitelji te gotovo svaka obitelj ima barem jednoga kućnoga ljubimca. Time su ljudi, odrasli i djeca, u svakodnevnoj interakciji s kućnim ljubimcima i životinjama općenito. Moj je rad usmjeren na djecu mlađe školske dobi i ulogu koju kućni ljubimci imaju u njihovom životu. Razmatra se pozitivno djelovanje suživota djece s kućnim ljubimcem.Cilj je istraživanja ispitati stavove djece mlađe školske dobi o kućnim ljubimcima. U skladu s time sam obavila intervju u kojemu će se vidjeti rezultati istraživanja.The thesis starts with the history of domestication of animals to their coexistence with humans in a new age. Pets become full members of the family and almost every family has at least one pet. Therefore people, adults and children, are in the everyday interaction with pets and animals in general. My thesis is aimed at younger school-aged children and the role that pets have in their life. I'm considering the positive effects of coexistence of children with a pet.The goal of this research is to examine the attitudes of younger school-aged children about pets. So I did interview in which we will see the results of the research
