| Abstract | Važnost igre kao spontane i dobrovoljne dječje aktivnosti i njen utjecaj na dječji razvoj je neosporna, a samim time nezamislivo je i djetinjstvo bez igre. Igrajući se, dijete uči o sebi, o svijetu i drugima. Kroz igru dijete prorađuje sve svoje doživljaje na sebi prihvatljiv način, a sve ono što dijete ne može izraziti riječima, izražava igrom. U ovom se radu pokušalo istražiti preferencije djeteta prema spontanoj igri u odnosu na spol djeteta, kojim se trebalo utvrditi koje igre su djeci najomiljenije te jesu li te igre tipične za spol djeteta koje ih bira. Istraživanje se provodilo uzimajući u obzir stajalište djeteta, omogućavajući time djetetu aktivnu participaciju u istraživanju. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 82 djece (40 djevojčica i 42 dječaka) dobi od 4 godine do polaska u školu, a provedeno je početkom srpnja 2021. godine na području Zagreba u DV Kolibri, u više skupina sa sva četiri
objekta. Istraživanjem je utvrđeno da postoje razlike u preferencijama igre s obzirom na spol. Djeca koja su sudjelovala u istraživanju u podjednakom postotku preferiraju tzv. „neutralne“ igre s obzirom na spol, kao što su igra plastelinom, crtanje, igra kockama i sl., no istraživanjem je potvrđeno da djevojčice i dječaci imaju veću sklonost igrama tradicionalno i stereotipno
tipičnima njihovu spolu (npr. djevojčice više vole igre barbikama, kućicama za lutke, igre šminkanja i dr., dok dječaci više preferiraju nogomet, igru autićima, alatom). Također, potvrđeno je da dječaci više preferiraju aktivne, motoričke igre, no odbačena je hipoteza po kojoj djevojčice preferiraju mirnije, statične igre jer je ovim istraživanjem utvrđeno da i djevojčice, poput dječaka, više preferiraju aktivne igre. |
| Abstract (english) | The importance of play as a spontaneous and voluntary children's activity and its impact on children's development is indisputable, and thereby childhood without play is unthinkable. By playing, children learn about themselves, about the world and other people. Through play children process their experiences in a manner acceptable to themselves, and everything children cannot express in words, they express through play.
This paper attempts to analyse children's preferences for spontaneous play in relation to gender, which should determine which games are favourite for children as well as if games are gender typical. Research was conducted taking into account children's viewpoint, thus enabling their active participation in the research. 82 children (40 girls and 42 boys), aged 4
to starting primary school, participated in the research, and it was conducted in the beginning of July 2021 in Zagreb in Kindergarten Kolibri, in several groups from all four buildings. The research determined that there are play preference differences according to gender. The children who participated in the research prefer the so called gender neutral games, such as playing with modelling clay, drawing, playing with building blocks, and similar, but the research confirmed that girls and boys have a greater tendency to games traditionally and stereotypically typical for their gender (e.g. girls prefer playing with Barbie dolls, doll houses, make-up games, etc., while boys prefer football, playing with toy cars and tools). It was also confirmed that boys prefer active, motoric games, but the hypothesis that girls prefer calmer, static games was rejected because this research found that girls, like boys, prefer active games. |
