The Use and Impact of Comics on Elementary School Students

Rad je podijeljen na tri dijela. Prvi, teorijski dio govori o bogatoj povijesti stripa u svijetu i na našem području (kako je sve počelo, od čega se razvio i kakav utjecaj je imao na pojedinim područjima). Drugi dio rada govori o utjecaju stripa na školski program i njegovu korelaciju s ostalim predmetima. Treći dio govori o provedenome istraživanju o uporabi i utjecaju stripa na učenike u dvije osnovne škole. Osim povijesti, govori i o utjecaju stripa na ostale oblike umjetnosti (ponajviše na film i književnost) te njihovu kombinaciju sa stripom. Istraživanjem se nastojalo provjeriti koliko danas u slobodno vrijeme strip čitaju sedmoškolci i osmoškolci i kakav utjecaj ima na njih - smatraju li ga zanimljivim ili gubitkom vremena. Iako ne možemo zanemariti veliki utjecaj i interes za elektroničke medije, smatramo da i dalje postoji dio djece koja u stripu pronalaze zabavu koja im pomaže u razvoju njihove osobnosti.The work is divided into three parts. The first theoretical part will talk about the rich history of comics in the world and in our area (how it all started, what developed and what impact it had in some areas). The second part of the paper discusses the influence of comics on the school program and its correlation with other subjects. The third part deals with the research conducted on the use and impact of comics on students in two primary schools. Besides history, we will also talk about the influence of comics on other forms of art (mostly on film and literature) and their combination with the comic strip. With research, we try to find out how many hours and eighths of the seventh and eighth students are reading the strip and what impact they have on them - whether it is interesting or time-consuming. Although we can’t ignore the great impact and interest in electronic media, we believe that there is still a part of the children who find the fun in the comic book that helps them to develop their personality
