Kolesarjenje v predšolskem obdobju : diplomsko delo

Rakovec, Klaudija (author), Gregorc, Jera (mentor)

V diplomskem delu smo raziskovali, v kolikšni meri se ocene kolesarskih spretnosti otrok razlikujejo, če otroke ocenjujejo bodisi njihovi starši bodisi vzgojitelji bodisi strokovnjaki. V raziskavo smo vključili 34 otrok, starih od 4 do 5 let, iz dveh vrtcev, in sicer iz vrtca pri Osnovni šoli Matije Valjavca Preddvor, enota Čriček, in iz Vrtca Hansa Christiana Andersena, enota Andersen, in ocenjevali njihove spretnosti vožnje s kolesom. Vsakega otroka je ocenil njegov oče oz. mama oz. skrbnik, njegova vzgojiteljica in avtorica diplomskega dela kot strokovna ocenjevalka. Otroke smo ocenjevali tako, da so starši ocenjevali otrokove kolesarske spretnosti preko opisanih testov. Ocene so vnesli preko spletnega vprašalnika. Vzgojiteljici obeh skupin in strokovna ocenjevalka pa smo otroke ocenjevali v vrtcu med njihovim izvajanjem spretnostnega poligona, kjer so morali prikazati spretnosti proste vožnje, zaustavljanja in vijuganja. S tem smo dobili dve vrsti podatkov, in sicer mnenja staršev (tj. starši so podali oceno na podlagi poznavanja svojega otroka) in ocene na podlagi konkretne gibalne aktivnosti (tj. vzgojiteljice in strokovna ocenjevalka smo ocenjevali med opazovanjem otroka med izvajanjem kolesarskega poligona). Ugotovili smo, da se otroci kolesarjenja v večini naučijo v predšolskem obdobju, najbolj so spretni v prosti vožnji, nekoliko slabši v vijuganju, najslabši pa pri zaustavljanju. Otroci z vasi so od otrok iz mesta spretnejši v prosti vožnji (za 0,40) in vijuganju (za 0,47). Otroci iz mesta pa so od otrok z vasi spretnejši v zaustavljanju (za 0,19). Analiza pridobljenih podatkov je pokazala, da so ocene vzgojiteljic in strokovnjakinje razmeroma podobne, ocene staršev pa nekoliko odstopajo navzgor v mestnem in navzdol v vaškem okolju. Na podlagi rezultatov menimo, da bi bilo smiselno bolj sistematično vpeljevati vsebine kolesarjenja tako v vrtec kot v izobraževanje vzgojiteljev.

• Title: Cycling at the pre-school age

Abstract

In this diploma thesis, we researched to what extent scores of children's cycling skills differ when children are assessed by their parents, their educators or by professionals. We included 34 children into the research, aged 4-5 years, from two kindergartens, namely the kindergarten at the Primary School Matija Valjavec in Preddvor, the Čriček branch and the Hans Christian Andersen kindergarten, the Andersen branch, and assessed their cycling skills. Each child was assessed by their father, mother or guardian, their teacher and the author of this thesis as the expert assessor. The children's cycling skills were assessed by their parents through described tests. The parents entered their evaluations via an online questionnaire. The teachers of both groups and the expert assessor assessed the children in the kindergarten during their performance on the obstacle course, where the children had to demonstrate their free riding skills, stopping and weaving skills. This provided us with 2 types of data, namely parents' opinions (i.e. parents gave their assessment based on their knowledge of their child) and assessment based on actual specific physical activity (i.e. the teachers and the expert assessor assessed while observing the children riding their bikes on the obstacle course). We assessed braking skills, weaving skills and free riding skills. We found that most children learn to cycle during pre-school years, and are most skilled in free riding, slightly less skilled in weaving and least skilled in stopping. Children from rural areas are more skilled than children from urban areas in free riding (by 0.40) and weaving (by 0.47). Children from urban areas are more skilled than children from rural areas in stopping (by 0.19). The analysis of the gathered data shows that the ratings of the teachers and the expert assessor are relatively similar, while the parents' assessments differ slightly by being higher in urban areas and lower in rural areas. Based on the results, we believe that it would be useful to introduce cycling content more systematically both in kindergarten and into the training of educators.
