Free time activities, learning results and popularity in class |
Secondary abstract: |
The thesis contains a case study of a 4th year class that I was teaching during the school year 2010/2011. Fifteen elementary school pupils participated in the research.
While teaching I found out how pupils differ from each other on different fields.
I focused mainly on the difference in interests, learning results and social skills and relationships. The fact is that apart from the time spent at school, pupils also have their free time they can use for various activities. Schools and other institutions offer them manifold choise of free time activities. Pupils can choose from these activities those that interest them or those they are more talented for.
I was curious if the pupils who have some free time activities are also more successful and socially skilled than those who have no free time activities. I judged the pupils' social skills indirectly, with the help of the answers of the two teachers who taught the class together with me and I also observed the pupils myself.
Only three of the fifteen pupils had no free time activities. These were the pupils with poorer learning results. As teachers we judged them as less socially skillful. The majority of pupils participating in free time activities had better final grade average.
Pupils are shaped by various factors that influence their learning results and social relationships. Free time activities are an important factor of quality spending of free time. Because of this it is important that teachers encourage pupils to participate in free time activities. |

Abstract (ePrints): |
Diplomsko delo vsebuje študijo primera četrtega razreda, ki sem ga poučevala v šolskem letu 2010/2011. V raziskavo je bilo vključenih petnajst učencev in učenk osnovne šole.
V času poučevanja sem ugotovila, kako se učenci na različnih področjih razlikujejo med seboj. Osredotočila sem se predvsem na razlike interesov, učnega uspeha in socialnih spretnosti ter odnosov. Dejstvo je, da imajo učenci poleg šolskega dela tudi prosti čas, ki ga lahko namenijo raznim aktivnostim. Šola in druge ustanove jim v ta namen ponujajo pester nabor interesnih dejavnosti. Učenci si izmed ponujenih dejavnosti lahko izberejo tiste, ki so bližje njihovim interesom ali imajo zanje boljše dispozicije.
Zanimalo me je, ali so tisti učenci, ki so vključeni v interesne dejavnosti tudi bolj uspešni in socialno spretni, kot učenci, ki interesnih dejavnosti ne obiskujejo. O socialni spretnosti učencev sem sklepala posredno na podlagi odgovorov učitelja in učiteljice, ki sta poleg mene poučevala v tem razredu ter na podlagi svojih opažanj.
Le trije od petnajstih učencev niso bili vključeni v interesne dejavnosti. To so bili učenci s slabšim učnim uspehom. Učitelji smo jih ocenili, kot socialno manj spretne. Velika večina učencev z interesnimi dejavnostmi pa je imela boljšo povprečno zaključeno oceno.
Učence oblikuje mnogo dejavnikov, ki vplivajo na učni uspeh in na socialne odnose. Interesne dejavnosti so pomembne za kvalitetno preživljanje prostega časa. Zato je pomembno, da učitelji učence spodbujamo, da se vključujejo v interesne dejavnosti. |
