Pomen razvoja drobnih gibov pri izbranih testih razvrščanja : diplomsko delo

Žnidaršič, Tinkara (author), Gregorc, Jera (mentor)

V diplomskem delu smo želeli ugotoviti, ali sta pri dejavnostih razvrščanja, ki jih uporabljamo v vrtcu, velikost predmetov razvrščanja in čas izvajanja povezana. Želeli smo izvedeti tudi, v kolikšni meri različna postavitev predmetov razvrščanja vpliva na hitrost in pravilnost razvrščanja. V raziskavi je sodelovalo 25 otrok, starih tri do štiri leta. Ocenjevali smo vsakega otroka posebej, pri tem je vsak otrok izvajal tri naloge. Vsak izmed testirancev je moral pri prvi nalogi v tri škatle razvrstiti 15 žog. Prvih 15 žog je imelo premere 10 cm, 5 cm in 5 mm. Pri drugi nalogi so morali v tri škatle razvrstiti drugih 15 žog s premeri 1 cm, 0,5 cm in 0,2 m. Pri tretji nalogi pa smo vzeli velikost žog iz prve naloge, le da so vseh 15 žog razvrstili v eno škatlo glede na ciljno pozicijo. Pridobljene rezultate smo statistično obdelali s programom SPSS, za primerjavo rezultatov pa smo uporabili parni t-test. Statistično značilnost smo preverjali na ravni 5-odstotnega tveganja. Na podlagi zapisanih rezultatov smo ugotovili, da zahteva po ciljni razporeditvi predmetov pri tretji nalogi statistično značilno podaljša čas izvedbe naloge. Ugotovili smo tudi, da ni zanesljive povezave med tem, koliko časa je otrok porabil za izvedbo prve naloge, in njegovo oceno uspešnosti. S parnim t-testom smo ugotovili, da velikost predmeta statistično značilno podaljša čas. Rezultati kažejo na pomen smiselnosti izvajanja preprostejših testov z večjimi predmeti in potrebo po nadaljnjem raziskovanju povezave med velikostjo predmeta glede na velikost otroka (npr. dlani).

Abstract

In this paper, we wanted to determine whether the size of sorting objects used in sorting activities in preschool and sorting time are related. We also wanted to find out to what extent different placements of sorting objects affect the speed and accuracy of sorting. The study involved 25 children aged from 3 to 4 years. Each child was assessed individually performing three tasks. In the first task, each of the test subjects had to sort 15 balls into three boxes. The first 15 balls had a diameter of 10 cm, 5 cm and 5 mm. In the second task, they had to sort another 15 balls with a diameter of 1 cm, 0.5 cm and 0.2 cm into three boxes. In the third task, we took the size of the balls from the first task, but the test subjects sorted all 15 balls into one box according to the target position. The obtained results were statistically processed using the SPSS program, and a T-test was used to compare the results. Statistical significance was verified at the 5% risk level. Based on the recorded results, we found that the required target placement of objects in the third task significantly increased the task completion time. We also found that there was no reliable connection between the amount of time a child spent completing the first task and his/her performance assessment. Using the paired T-test, we found that object size has a statistically significant impact on time increase. The results suggest the importance of conducting simpler tests with larger objects and the need to further investigate the relationship between object size and the child's size (e.g., their palm).
