Abstract

U ovome se diplomskome radu razmatra utjecaj i povezanost motoričkoga i govorno-jezičnog razvoja kod djece rane dobi. To se čini pregledom relevantne literature, ali i usporedbom teorije s desetogodišnjim odgojno-obrazovnim radom u jasličkoj skupini Zečići iz Zagreba čija djeca prolaze cjelodnevni program pod nazivom Rano učenje engleskog jezika i razvoj motorike s elementima tjelesnog vježbanja. Taj program povezuje razvoj govora s razvojem motorike te ujedno čini polazišnu točku ovoga rada. Rezultati rada skupine Zečići pokazuju razumijevanje često korištenih pojmova, fraza, praćenje uputa u svakodnevnim situacijama, posebice pojmova i elemenata stranoga jezika koji se koriste u pjesmicama gdje su uključeni pokreti cijelim tijelom. Isto tako, većina djece već nakon par mjeseci u programu spontano reproduciraju i koriste dijelove engleskoga jezika u svakodnevnim situacijama. Iako su djeca ove dobi premala za kineziološka mjerenja, uspjeh je već ako se unapređuje zdravlje i razvoj djeteta, ako se dijete ove dobi susreće s osnovnim motoričkim znanjima te ako stvara naviku tjelesnog vježbanja. Istraživanja pokazuju da se od samoga rođenja djeteta indikatori urednog razvoja promatraju kroz motoriku te se može reći da su kineziološke aktivnosti povezane s razvojem govora, odnosno da utječu na usvajanje stranoga jezika kod djece rane dobi. Pregled relevantne literature, kao i refleksija višegodišnjeg rada u programu ukazuju na važnost cjelovitog promatranja dječjega razvoja kao i međusobne povezanosti svih razvojnih područja.

Abstract (english)

This thesis examines the impact and connection between motor speech development and language acquisition in early childhood. This is done through a review of relevant literature, as well as by comparing theory with a ten-year educational practice in the nursery group "Zečići" from Zagreb, which runs a full-day program called "Early Learning of the English Language and Motor Development with Elements of Physical Exercise". This program integrates speech development with motor development and serves as the starting point of this thesis. The results of the work in the "Zečići" group show that children develop understanding of commonly used terms and phrases and the ability to follow instructions in everyday situations, especially terms and elements of a foreign language that are used in songs involving whole-body movements. Furthermore, most children spontaneously reproduce and use elements of the English language in everyday situations after just a few months in the program. Although children of this age are too young for kinesiological measurements, the program can already be considered a success if it improves the health and development of the child, if the child acquires basic motor skills and forms a habit of physical exercise. Research has shown that, from a child’s birth, indicators of normal development are observed through motor skills. It can thus be said that kinesiological activities are linked to speech development, and that they influence the acquisition of a foreign language in young children. A review of relevant literature, as well as a reflection on the years of working in the program, highlight the importance of a comprehensive observation of child development as well as the interconnectedness of all developmental areas.
