Contribution of Traditional Games to the Quality of Students’ Relations and Frequency of Students' Socialization in Primary Education / Doprinos tradicijskih igara kvaliteti međuljudskih odnosa i učestalosti druženja učenika u primarnom obrazovanju

Abstract

The goal of this research was to examine the contribution of traditional games to the quality of relations and to the frequency of students' socialization in primary education. A modified version of the School Violence Questionnaire was implemented on a sample of 232 students in the second, third and fourth grades in four primary schools in Karlovac. The first testing determined the quality of students' relations and the frequency of their socialization. After applying the traditional games, in June 2010, a final test was implemented. Two hypotheses assumed the existence of a statistically significant difference in the quality of relations and the frequency of students' socializations before and after the implementation of traditional games. The research results have shown an improvement of human relations between students in class, and an increase of students' socialization outside classes, after implementing traditional games in school.Key words: students` association, human relation, primary education, traditional play---SažetakCilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati doprinos tradicijskih igara kvaliteti međuljudskih odnosa i učestalosti druženja učenika primarnog obrazovanja. Modificirana verzija Upitnika o školskom nasilju (Buljan Flander, Karlović, Štimac, 2003) primijenjena je na uzorku od 232 učenika drugih, trećih i četvrtih razreda u četiri karlovačke osnovne škole. Prvim je ispitivanjem utvrđena kvaliteta međuljudskih odnosa i učestalost druženja učenika, a nakon primjene deset tradicijskih igara, u lipnju 2010. godine, provedeno je finalno ispitivanje. Dvjema hipotezama pretpostavljeno je postojanje statistički značajne razlike u kvaliteti međuljudskih odnosa i učestalosti druženja učenika prije i nakon provođenja tradicijskih igara. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su poboljšanje međuljudskih odnosa među učenicima u razredu te porast druženja učenika izvan nastave nakon provođenja tradicijskih igara u školi.Ključne riječi: druženje učenika; međuljudski odnosi; primarno obrazovanje; tradicijska igra

Developing Science Winning Track Games Media to Identify Communication Skills of Participants in Ecosystem Topic

“…One of them is through the game. As Kovačević and Opić (2014) have asserted, the activity of playing gives children the possibility of active participation and opportunities for growth, and help them achieve better confidence and relationships within the group. At younger school age, the game has significance for child development and can be easily integrated into the teaching process.…”
