Pupils of the primary school of Gornja Radgona and their use of active modes of transport to school

Vsakodnevna aktivna pot v šolo in iz nje je lahko osnovnošolskim učencem pomemben vir dnevne gibalne/športne aktivnosti, ki je nujno potreben za njihov celosten razvoj in ohranjanje zdravja. V diplomskem delu z naslovom Aktivna pot v/iz šole učencev Osnovne šole Gornja Radgona nas je zanimalo, kakšno je mnenje učencev in njihovih staršev o aktivni poti v/iz šole in želeli smo proučiti ali je spol ter vzgojno-izobraževalno obdobje dejavnik razlik glede aktivne poti v/iz šole. Vzorec je vključeval 296 učencev in njihovih staršev. Podatke smo pridobili s pomočjo anketnega vprašalnika ter jih obdelali s statističnim programom SPSS. Ugotovili smo, da se skoraj tri četrt učencem in njihovim staršem zdi aktivna pot v/iz šole pomembna za njihovo zdravje in po njihovem mnenju bi bila tudi izvedljiva. Ena četrtina jih že aktivno pot v/iz šole uporablja. Učenci OŠ Gornja Radgona si želijo hoditi ali se s kolesom voziti v šolo, ker to radi počnejo in jim je to všeč. Njihovi starši se zavedajo, da si oni to želijo in tudi vseh pozitivnih učinkov, ki jih prinaša aktivna pot v/iz šole. Ugotovil smo, da se aktivna pot v/iz šole dečkov in deklic statistično pomembno ne razlikuje, da med starši dečkov in starši deklic ne obstajajo statistično pomembne razlike v stopnji strinjanja s trditvami, povezanimi z aktivno potjo v/iz šole, da se aktivna pot v/iz šole učencev prvega, drugega in tretjega vzgojno-izobraževalnega obdobja statistično pomembno razlikuje in da med starši učencev prvega, drugega in tretjega vzgojno-izobraževalnega obdobja obstajajo statistično pomembne razlike v stopnji strinjanja s trditvami, povezanimi z aktivno potjo v/iz šole.The everyday way to school can provide the pupils a significant source of daily physical movement/sports activities that is indispensable for their overall development and healthy living. My diploma paper Pupils of the Primary School of Gornja Radgona and their use of active modes of transport to school focuses and gives the opinions of pupils and their parents regarding the active mode to/from school, and further examines whether the gender and the educational period are a difference factor in this relation. The sample involved 296 pupils and their parents, whereby the relevant data was obtained through questionnaires and data processing by means of the SPSS statistics software. We have established that nearly three thirds of pupils and their parents deem that an active mode to/from school is important for their health and is according to their belief also feasible. One quarter of them already applies an active mode to/from school. Pupils of the Primary School of Gornja Radgona would like to walk or bike to the school because they like doing that. Their parents are aware of the children’s choice, as well as of all the positive effects that are brought by these activities. Moreover, we have established that an active mode to/from school is not significantly different between boys and girls in terms of statisticsthat statistically no major differences exist between parents of both genders regarding assertions made about the active mode to/from schoolthat the active mode to/from school is in terms of statistics quite diverse between pupils of the first, second and third educational period, and that between parents of pupils of the first, second and third educational period major differences exist as to the level of assertions made about the active mode to/from school
