Abstract

Igra je osnovna aktivnost svakog djeteta te ima ključnu ulogu u djetetovu cjelokupnom razvoju. Složenost igre mijenja se ovisno o dobi djeteta, a igra se promatra s obzirom na spoznajnu i društvenu razinu. Igra na otvorenom jednako je važna kao i igra u zatvorenom prostoru jer svaka vrsta igre nudi različite, ali komplementarne razvojne prednosti. Značajnu ulogu u djetetovu razvoju ima odgojitelj koji osigurava dovoljno vremena i prostora za igru. Odgojitelj bi trebao težiti ulozi zainteresiranog promatrača i suigrača. Uloga zainteresiranog promatrača i suigrača odgojitelju omogućuje da obogati dječju igru tako što potiče djetetov socijalno-emocionalni, kognitivni, govorni i tjelesni razvoj.
U istraživačkom dijelu provedeno je istraživanje o tome kako odgojitelji doživljavaju i organiziraju igre u zatvorenom i otvorenom prostoru kao i koje vrste igara djeca preferiraju u ovim okruženjima. Cilj istraživanja bio je utvrditi stavove i iskustva odgojitelja o igri u zatvorenom i otvorenom prostoru na području grada Zagreba. Rezultati ovog istraživanja pokazuju kako većina odgojitelja preferira svakodnevni boravak na otvorenom. Utvrđeno je i da se odgojitelji u dječjoj igri u zatvorenome prostoru najčešće koriste ulogom zainteresiranog promatrača i suigrača. Provedeno istraživanje pokazuje kako određeni broj odgojitelja igru na otvorenom ne smatra rizičnom. Također, određeni broj odgojitelja smatra da se djetetov interes za igru razlikuje kada je na otvorenom nego u zatvorenom. Prema rezultatima provedenog Hikvadrat testa utvrđeno je kako ne postoje statistički značajne razlike s obzirom na godine staža i kronološku dob u preferencijama mjesta boravka te učestalosti boravka na otvorenom.

Abstract (english)

Play is a fundamental activity for every child, playing a crucial role in their overall development. The complexity of play evolves with the child's age and is influenced by their cognitive and social levels. Both outdoor and indoor play are essential, as each offers unique and complementary developmental benefits. Educators play a significant role in a child's development by providing ample time and space for play. They should aim to be both engaged observers and active teammates, which allows them to enrich the child's play experiences by fostering their speech, social-emotional, cognitive, and physical growth.
In the research section of my thesis, I explored how educators perceive and organize play activities in both indoor and outdoor settings, as well as the types of play that children prefer in these environments. The study aimed to assess educators' attitudes and experiences regarding indoor and outdoor play in the area of Zagreb. The results have shown that most educators prefer to spend time outdoors with children daily. It was also found that educators frequently adopt the role of an engaged observer and teammate during indoor play. The research further indicated that some educators do not view outdoor play as risky, and that they believe children's interests in play differ between outdoor and indoor environments. According to the results of the Chi-squared test, it was determined that there are no statistically significant differences regarding years of service and chronological age in the preferences of the place of residence and the frequency of outdoor activities.
