GENDER-SPECIFIC DIFFERENCES OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN IN MOTOR SKILLS

U ovom diplomskom radu prikazuju se rezultati istraživanja utemeljeni na spolno specifičnim razlikama djece rane i predškolske dobi. Istraživanje je provedeno u dječjem vrtiću u Splitu na uzorku od 12 djece od kojih 6 čine dječaci, a 6 djevojčice. Kroz šest različitih vježbi istraživana su razvijenost brzine, snage, koordinacije i preciznosti. Test motoričkih znanja sadržavao je vježbe: taping rukom (MTR), podizanje trupa iz ležanja (MPT), skok u dalj s mjesta (MSD), vođenje lopte (MVL), gađanje nepokretnog predmeta (MGP) i poligon natraške (MPN). Cilj je rada bio uočiti dosadašnji razvoj motoričkih sposobnosti te uočiti postoje li razlike u razvijenosti i znanjima između dječaka i djevojčica. Na temelju dobivenih rezultata dalo se zaključiti, a bez obzira da postavljenu hipotezu, ne postoje značajne razlike u motoričkim znanjima između dječaka i djevojčica ove dobi.This thesis presents the results of the research based on the external specific differences of children of early and preschool age. The research was conducted in a kindergarten in Split on a sample of 12 children, 6 of whom are boys and 6 are girls. The development of speed, strength, coordination, and precision was investigated through six different exercises. The test of motor skills included exercises: hand tapping (MTR), raising the torso from lying down (MPT), standing long jump (MSD), ball handling (MVL), shooting at a stationary object (MGP) and backhand range (MPN). The aim of the work was to observe the development of motor skills so far and to see if there are differences in development and knowledge between boys and girls. Based on the obtained results, it was possible to conclude, regardless of the hypothesis, that there are no significant differences in motor skills between boys and girls of this age
