Outdoor and indoor time in pre-school education
Rubešová, Ivana ; Jančaříková, Kateřina (advisor) ; Valkounová, Tereza (referee)
This bachelor thesis is focused on the problem of children being detached from nature. Time spent at kindergarten is mostly indoors and time spent outside is limited to short walks. Understandably this is due in part to today's fast-paced life, crime and a higher demand for childrens' safety; especially in cities. The thesis is divided into two main parts: theoretical and empirical. The theoretical part introduces literature that is pivotal for this subject. The empirical part talks about the process and execution of the project, details of the samples and the result of qualitative interviews between myself and kindergarten teachers. During the process of the interviews, I put together a program that I later actualized in an after-school club called "Sarynka". Graphomotor activities were part of this program as well. To achieve a proper comparison, these activities were done in a public kindergarten with the same number of kids who were of the same age.
