Role of television in the education of kindergarten children

Svako kućanstvo u dnašnjem svijetu ima barem jedan televizor. Prvobitna uloga televizora je bila zabava no televizija danas postaje veliki dio djetinjstva pa tako čak i odgoja. Djeca danas puno drugačije provode svoje djetinstvo nego što su djeca prije samo nekoliko desetljeća. Iako nam je prva pomisao da nije ispravno to što su igru vani zamijenili televizija i internet može se reći da su današnja djeca informiranija i bogatija znanjem. To dovodi do samog pitanja kakvu ulogu televizija ima u odgoju djece vrtićke dobi. Sam cilj ovoga rada je pregledom literature i tv sadražaja bolje razumijeti kakav sadržaj tv programi nude djeci i imali taj sadržaj odgojnu ulogu i je te je li je ta uloga pozitivna ili negativna. Televizija postaje vodeći medij druge polovice 20. i prvog desetljeća 21. stoljeća gotovo u cijelom svijetu. Zbog toga nas ne iznenađuje činjenica da televizija ima veliku ulogu u životima svih naraštaja pa tako i onih najmlađih. Danas na televiziji možemo naći brojne sadržaje namjenjene upravo djeci vrtićke dobi. Od brojnih dječjih emisija, animiranih i crtanih filmova sve do cijelih programa u potpunosti posvećenih sadržajima samo za djecu. Ovim radom dublje ćemo zači u same te sadržaje koji su prvenstveno namjenjeni djeci vrtićke dobi te istražiti njih i njihovu ulogu. Također ćemo se u ovom radu spomenuti važnosti roditelja i institucija i njihove uloge u medijskom obrazovanju djece. Iznimno je važno da roditelji prate sadržaj koji njihova djeca gledaju te također i reguliraju vrijeme koje djeca provode pred televizorom.Every household in today’s world has at least one TV. Original role of television was entertainment, but television today is becoming a big part of childhood and even child rearing . Children today spend their childhood much differently than children did just a few decades ago. Although our first thought is that it is not right that the game outside has been replaced by television and the Internet, it can be said that children today are more informed and richer in knowledge. This brings us very question of what role television plays in the rearing of kindergarten-age children. The goal of this assignment is to review the literature and TV content to gain better understanding off what content TV programs offer children and does that content have an educational role and whether that role is positive or negative. Television is becoming the leading medium of the second half of the 20th and the first decade of the 21st century almost all over the world. Because of that we are not surprised by the fact that television plays a big role in lives of all generations, including the youngest ones. Today on television we can find numerous content intended for children of kindergarten age. From numerous children's shows, animated films and cartoons to entire programs dedicated to content only for children. In this assignment we will dive deeper into the contents that are primarily intended for children of kindergarten age and explore them and their role. Importance of parents and institutions and their role in children’s media education will also be mentioned in this assignment. It is extremely important that parents follow the content that their children watch as well as to regulate the time that children spend on TV
