Slobodno vrijeme pojam je koji je danas sve poznatiji, svakim danom se sve više o njemu čuje i traže se načini kako ga kvalitetno iskoristiti i uživati u njemu. Aktivnosti kojima se ljudi bave tijekom svog slobodnog vremena su različite, od šetnje, boravka u prirodi, odlaska u kino i kazalište, druženja s prijateljima i obitelji, slikanja, crtanja, pjevanja, gledanja malih ekrana, spavanja, odmaranja, pisanja i čitanja, igre s vršnjacima, odlasci na večere i druženja, tulumi i zabave i slično.

Cilj akcijskih istraživanja odgojitelja je unaprjeđenje odgojno-obrazovne prakse, rada s djecom te osvješćivanje i poboljšanje vlastitog rada.
