The role of educational systems, which are a kind of social leverage, is to provide responses to the changes that have affected the younger generations of today because that is what their preparation for life really implies. The response to challenges of the modern life, which are also reflected in the life of every human from the earliest and most vulnerable age, is the kinesiology content, which can reduce any negative repercussions of such a state through increased physical activity. An individual has no power to change the living conditions, but (s)he has the power to adjust and to optimally respond to them. By stressing the positive effects of exercise, an emphasis is also placed on the comprehensiveness in relation to the development of environmental and ethical awareness, and the culture of leisure time while simultaneously ensuring optimal number of hours of Kinesiology culture at all levels of education. Key words: child; education; kinesiology; kinesiology culture; upbringing. --- Sažetak Nacin života danas je znatno promijenjen u odnosu na nacin života u proslosti. Zadaca obrazovnih sustava, svojevrsnih drustvenih poluga, jest dati odgovore na promjene koje ce zahvatiti i sadasnje najmlađe generacije, jer je to smisao njihove pripreme za život. Odgovor na izazove suvremenog svijeta, koji se nužno odražavaju na život covjeka od najranije i najranjivije dobi, jest kinezioloski sadržaj koji uz povecani aktivitet može umanjiti negativne posljedice takvog stanja. Pojedinac nema moc promjene životnih uvjeta, ali ima moc prilagodbe i optimalnog odgovora. Naglasavajuci pozitivne ucinke vježbanja, istice se i sveobuhvatnost u odnosu na razvoj ekoloske, eticke svijesti i kulture slobodnog vremena, uz istodobno imperativno osiguranje optimalne satnice kinezioloske kulture na svim razinama odgoja i obrazovanja.

In addition to his/her personal biography, s/he is also defined by general social visions and values. Significant in this regard are Vygotsky’s (1996) attempts to confirm the thesis on the close relationship between the cultural and historical context in which children live with someone, between the child and childhood, his/her activities, or the pace and the quality of progress. New social studies of childhood (be they from a historical or social perspective) and the prevailing concept of childhood show that children’s lives are shaped by the social and cultural expectations of adults. The image of childhood should not be dismissed as a critical period which represents narrow “windows” of time in which a specific part of the body is most sensitive to the absence of stimuli (deprivation) or the impact of the environment (enriched environment).  The paper will examine some of the contradictions and unacceptable tendencies that occur in the interpretation and implementation of a modern paradigm of early and preschool education, and education in the area of educational practice. In particular, the analysis will relate to the position of teachers in the process of children’s activities from the perspective of their teaching and development. The evaluation of teachers’ specific positioning within dynamic practical areas is a reflection of their current personal and professional competencies, as well as their overall professional habitus.  Key words: early and preschool education; preschool curriculum; teacher.   --- Sažetak U ontogenetskom razvoju dijete je jedinstveno i specificno bice, osim osobnom biografijom definirano i generalnim drustvenim vizijama i vrijednostima.

Nove socijalne studije djetinjstva (bilo da su iz povijesne ili drustvene perspektive) i prevladavajuci koncept djetinjstva pokazao je da živote djece oblikuju socijalna i kulturna ocekivanja odraslih. Ne smije se zanemariti slika djetinjstva kao kritickog razdoblja koje predstavlja uske “prozore” vremena u kojem je određeni dio tijela najosjetljiviji na odsustvo podražaja (deprivacija) ili na utjecaj iz okoline (obogacena sredina).  U radu ce se problematizirati neke kontradikcije i neprihvatljive tendencije koje se javljaju u interpretiranju i implementiranju suvremene paradigme ranog i predskolskog odgoja i obrazovanja na podrucje pedagoske prakse.

There is an increasing recognition of the relationship between health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and obesity in the pediatric population. Subjective experience of one’s own health, and how children see their own lives is also very important. Children with an increased amount of body fat have a negative perception of the HRQOL, unlike those who have a normal amount of body fat. A total of 181 children participated in this study (mean age 7.71 ±0.29 years, 88 girls). For the assessment of the body composition the InBody 230 device was used, while for the assessment of HRQOL the proxy version of KIDSCREEN-27 questionnaire was used. The aim of the study was to explore the relationship between the body composition and the HRQOL in children of primary school age. The analysis of the results showed that the BMI is in significant negative correlation with the two dimensions of HRQOL in boys (Psychological Well-being and School), while in girls there is no statistically significant relationship. The correlation between the Percentage of Body Fat (PBF) and HRQOL is significant and negative in boys in 4 dimensions (Physical Well-being, Psychological Well-being, Social Support & Peers, School), while in girls it is negative and significant only in one dimension (Physical Well-being). The results indicate that there are changes in the body composition of children, such as the increased BMI and BFP, reduced HRQOL, i.e. obesity is in inverse relationship to HRQOL.","PeriodicalId":44438,"journal":{"name":"Croatian Journal of Education-Hrvatski Casopis Za Odgoj I Obrazovanje","volume":"1 1","pages":"125-133"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2018-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77209026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results of surveys conducted among the most important stakeholders in the Slovenian higher education in October 2012, with the aim of researching the viewpoints on the use of languages of instruction in higher education, are presented. The results were analysed with a view to the expressed standpoint on language use in higher education, which led to the formation of three opinion groups within the sample of students and university teachers of the University of Ljubljana.

The intention is to establish distinctive traits of talented students in the areas of music, art, sports, and mathematics in the following aspects of leadership: affinity for authenticity and creativity, basic personality traits, achievement motive, and emotional intelligence. The research was conducted on a convenience sample of 473 participants attending high schools for talented, using the following instruments: preconscious activity scale (PAS), Big Five Inventory (BFI), scale of achievement motive (MOP 2002) and a scale of emotional competences. The research results suggest various constellations of leadership dispositions in relation to the domain. Within the domain of sports and music, there are specific characteristics relating to public performance. Introspection and the intrapsychic plan are important characteristics of the mathematics and art domains. The domain of music and art are characterized by greater interest for innovation and diversity, while the domain of sports and mathematics revolve around “playing by set rules”.

The sample consisted of 222 elementary school students from the 1st to the 4th grade attending extended and after-school day care programs. Principal components, Pearson’s correlations, t-test and discriminative analysis were used for statistical analysis. The results are indicative of statistically significant differences in the level of anxiety between very good and excellent students. Students who achieve very good success exhibit significantly higher anxiety in relation to students with excellent achievement. Somatised anxiety and, to a lesser extent, social anxiety are dominant among them. Statistically significant differences on the side of very good students are expressed through forms of anxiety that reflect emotional instability, maladjustment, lack of social conformity, and anxiety caused by a variety of social situations.

The aim of the research was to determine the latent structure of motor abilities before and after the application of kinesiology activities, and to determine the compatibility of factor saturation. Correlation was performed by Pearson correlation coefficient, and determination of the structure of motor activities was performed by factor analysis and by the method of principal components with bent promax rotation of isolated principal components. The Tucker index of saturation factor was used for determining the compatibility of isolated factors. Research results indicate that both in the initial and the final measurements of both tested groups, a two-dimensional structure of motor abilities was determined, consisting of coordination and strength, which could most appropriately be defined as one, general motor factor. The congruence between the isolated factors in E and K groups gained in the initial and final measurements shows that there are no differences in the structure of isolated factors. It can be concluded that motor functioning of children is still under the mechanism of structuring movement, so after the application of kinesiology activities the same factors remained, and quality changes in the structure of motor abilities have not been detected in the tested age.","PeriodicalId":44438,"journal":{"name":"Croatian Journal of Education-Hrvatski Casopis Za Odgoj I Obrazovanje","volume":"3 1","pages":"155-169"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2018-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90568428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
