Namen diplomskega dela je bil raziskati, kakšne so telesne značilnosti današnjih 5–7 let starih otrok in kako se razlikujejo od enako starih otrok leta 1999. Poleg tega nas je zanimalo tudi, kakšna je ponudba enot za počitek na trgu in kakšna se v resnici uporablja v slovenskih vrtcih. Na koncu smo ugotavljali, ali dimenzije enot za počitek ustrezajo telesnim značilnostim otrok, pri čemer smo upoštevali tudi to, da se je v tem obdobju uvedla devetletna osnovna šola, kar pomeni, da danes 7-letnikov skorajda ni več v vrtcih, medtem ko so leta 1999 še skoraj vsi 7-letniki obiskovali le-tega. V raziskavo smo vključili 32.978 otrok, ki so danes stari med 5 in 7 let, ter 14.825 otrok, ki so bili te starosti leta 1999. V vzorec otrok, ki so danes stari med 5 in 7 let, je bilo zajetih 88 5-letnikov (povprečna starost 5 let in 7 mesecev), 12.707 6-letnikov in 20.183 7-letnikov. Za leto 1999 pa smo pridobili podatke 55 6-letnikov, 14.766 7-letnikov in 4 5-letnikov (povprečna starost 5 let in 1 mesec). Zaradi premajhnega števila 5-letnikov iz leta 1999 rezultatov le-teh nismo primerjali z rezultati današnjih 5-letnikov. Podatke o telesnih značilnostih (telesna višina, telesna teža in indeks telesne mase) smo obdelali kvantitativno s programom Microsoft Excel. Pri raziskovanju pohištva v vrtcih smo pregledali ponudbo le-tega na svetovnem spletu in dodatno izvedli spletno anketo v 129 slovenskih vrtcih. Zanimalo nas je predvsem ali pri najstarejših starostnih skupinah sploh še imajo počitek v obliki spanja in kakšne enote za počitek uporabljajo. Naša raziskava je pokazala, da se telesne mere 6- in 7-letnikov tekom 20 let niso spremenile. 74,4 % anketiranih vzgojiteljev iz slovenskih vrtcev trdi, da so lesene ležalnike že zamenjali s plastičnimi, 3,8 % pa jih za počitek uporablja samo blazine. Dimenzije obeh vrst ležalnikov se med seboj ne razlikujejo, nobene pa povsem ne ustrezajo otrokom zadnje vrtčevske starostne skupine.

Izvleček

This diploma thesis was carried out to research the body characteristics of today's 5- to 7-year-olds and how they differ from the same aged children in 1999. Furthermore we researched the variety of rest units on the market, which units are used in Slovenian kindergartens and finally determining whether the dimensions of the rest units fit the body characteristics of the children. We also considered the fact that a nine-year elementary school was introduced during this period, which means that today 7-year-olds are almost out of kindergartens, while in 1999 almost everyone was still in. The study included 32,978 children aged between 5 and 7 today and 14,825 children who were even in 1999. The sample of children aged 5 to 7 included 88 5-year-olds (mean age was 5 years and 7 months), 12,707 6-year-olds and 20,183 7-year-olds. For year 1999 we obtained data from 55 6-year-olds, 14,766 7-year-olds, and 4 5-year-olds (mean age was 5 years and 1 month). Due to the insufficient number of 5-year-olds from 1999, we did not compare the results with those of today's 5-year-olds. Data on body characteristics (body height, weight and body mass index) were quantitatively processed with Microsoft Excel. When researching kindergarten furniture, we searched for different providers of furniture on the World Wide Web and additionally conducted an online survey in 129 Slovenian kindergartens. We were particularly interested in whether they still provide naps to the oldest age groups and what kind of rest units they use. Our research has shown that the body weight of 6- and 7-year-olds has not changed over the past 20 years. 74,4 % of surveyed Slovenian kindergartens have already replaced the first wooden cots with plastic ones and 3,8 % use only pillow mattresses as rest unit. The dimensions of the two types of cots do not differ from each other, but none of them perfectly comply with body characteristics of the 6- to 7-year-old children.
