Sociological aspects of swimming for children in the early childhood education

Naloga se deli na teoretični in empirični del. V teoretičnem delu so predstavljeni trije večji sklopi, ki se nanašajo na otrokov razvoj: socialni razvoj otroka v prvem vzgojno-izobraževalnem obdobju, čustveni razvoj otroka v prvem vzgojno-izobraževalnem obdobju, gibalni razvoj otroka v prvem vzgojno-izobraževalnem obdobju. V nadaljevanju so opisani pomen družine in športne aktivnosti otroka ter vloga družbenih dejavnikov na vključevanje otroka prvega vzgojno-izobraževalnega obdobja v športne aktivnosti. V empiričnem delu naloge so predstavljeni rezultati intervjujev, opravljenih v kopališču Pristan. Intervjuvali smo deset vaditeljev plavanja treh plavalnih šol. Preučili smo odnos med otroki plavalci v prvem vzgojno-izobraževalnem obdobju do gibalne aktivnosti, do vrstnikov in družbe. Analizirali smo odgovore vaditeljev plavanja, učiteljev učencev, ki plavajo v prvem vzgojno-izobraževalnem obdobju. V empiričnem delu so tako predstavljeni odgovori z grafikoni in razlage, ki prikazujejo, da je sociološki vidik otrok v prvem vzgojno-izobraževalnem obdobju pomemben pri plavanju. Rezultati so pokazali pozitiven vpliv na socialni vidik razvoja otrok. Opažamo tudi širši vpliv na celostni razvoj otroka vpliv družine, vaditeljev plavanja, vrstnikov in družbe. This master`s thesis consists of the theoretical and the empirical part. The theoretical part of the thesis is divided into three main parts, that refer to child development: social development of a child in the early childhood education, emotional development of a child in the early childhood education and the movement-based development in the early childhood education. Additionally, we explain the significance of the family, sports activities, and social factors, and how they impact the child integration in the early childhood education. In the empirical part, we presented the results of the interviews that were performed at the Swimming pool Pristan. We studied the attitude of the children, who learn to swim in their early childhood education, towards their physical activity, their peers, and the society. Furthermore, we interviewed ten swimming instructors from three different swimming schools, that teach children how to swim in their early childhood education. Moreover, we analyzed the responses, that were given to us by instructors. In the empirical part of this thesis, we represent the answers with the diagrams and explanations. The results of the research have shown the positive impact of swimming on the social benefits of the children in the early childhood education. In addition, we have noticed the positive influence of the family, swimming instructors, the peers, and the society on the overall child development.
