Abstract

Svako dijete s teškoćama u razvoju je individua za sebe, no ono što im je svima zajedničko jest važnost tjelesne aktivnosti. Tjelesna aktivnost donosi mnogostruke prednosti djeci s teškoćama u razvoju, obuhvaćajući doprinos višoj razini zdravlja te razvoj fizičkih, emocionalnih, socijalnih i kognitivnih karakteristika. Pored toga, pruža mogućnosti za razvoj samopouzdanja, socijalizaciju, sklapanje prijateljstava te usvajanje pravila i slijeđenje uputa. U ovom radu su istaknuta obilježja u socijalnom i emocionalnom razvoju djece s teškoćama u razvoju u odnosu na tipične vršnjake, s obzirom na njihovu povezanost sa stupnjem općeg mentalnog razvoja, što može rezultirati poteškoćama u socijalnim interakcijama. Također su detaljnije opisane specifične teškoće kod djece kao što su poremećaj autističnog spektra, Down sindrom i ADHD. Cilj rada je naglasiti važnost poticanja socioemocionalnog razvoja predškolske djece s teškoćama tijekom provođenja kinezioloških aktivnosti s njima. Osim toga, istaknuta je uloga i svrha voditelja kinezioloških aktivnosti koje su prilagođene djeci s teškoćama u razvoju. također su istaknuti preporučeni savjeti vezani uz odabir tjelesnih aktivnosti. U završnom dijelu rada provedena je anketa za odgajatelje na području Splitsko-dalmatinske županije i grada Zagreba, u kojima je sudjelovalo 56 ispitanika. Anketni upitnik je sadržavao ukupno 22 pitanja, u kojem su ispitanici na temelju svojih opažanja i procjena djetetovih ponašanja i emocija tijekom i poslije tjelesnog vježbanja, odgovarali na Likertovoj skali od pet stupnjeva, dok su u nekim pitanjima imali već ponuđene odgovore. Mnoge tvrdnje i prijašnja istraživanja mogu se potkrijepiti rezultatima koji ukazuju na povezanost tjelesnog vježbanja s razvojem dječjeg samopouzdanja i socijalizacije s vršnjacima, kao i s većim zadovoljstvom nakon vježbanja.

Abstract (english)

Every child with developmental disabilities is an individual on their own, but what they all have in common is the importance of physical activity. Physical activity brings numerous benefits to children with developmental disabilities, including contributing to a higher level of health and the development of physical, emotional, social, and cognitive characteristics. Additionally, it provides opportunities for building self-confidence, socialization, making friends, and learning and following instructions and rules. This paper highlights the characteristics of social and emotional development in children with developmental disabilities compared to their typical peers, considering their connection to the overall level of mental development, which can result in difficulties in social interactions. Furthermore, specific difficulties in children such as autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome, and ADHD are described in more detail. The aim of this paper is to emphasize the importance of promoting socioemotional development in preschool children with disabilities through kinesiological activities. Additionally, the role and purpose of leaders in kinesiological activities adapted for children with developmental disabilities are emphasized. In the final part of the paper, a survey was conducted among educators in the Split-Dalmatia County and the city of Zagreb, with fifty-six participants. The questionnaire contained a total of twenty-two questions in which respondents answered based on their observations and assessments of children's behaviors and emotions during and after physical exercise, answered on a five-point Likert scale, while some of questions had already provided answers. In some questions, they already had answers offered. Many statements and previous research findings can be supported by results indicating the connection between physical exercise and the development of children's self-confidence, peer socialization, and greater satisfaction after exercise.
