Family and spending leisure time of primary school students

Obitelj je temeljna jedinica društva u kojoj započinje proces ljudskog razvoja i oblikovanja mladog čovjeka. Odlučujuću ulogu u odgoju imaju roditelji. Stoga je na roditeljima briga o kvaliteti provođenja slobodnog vremena obitelji. Slobodno vrijeme se razumijeva različito ovisno o znanstvenom području koje ga proučava, no često se tumači kao vrijeme u kojem je pojedinac potpuno slobodan i kad vrijeme može ispunjavati i oblikovati prema vlastitim željama. Cilj ovog rada jest ispitati, analizirati te interpretirati načine na koji osnovnoškolci provode slobodno vrijeme u krugu obitelji iz perspektive roditelja. U svrhu ostvarivanja cilja, a na temelju postavljenih hipoteza istraţivanja, izrađen je anketni upitnik. Prema dobivenim rezultatima, osnovnoškolci slobodno vrijeme u krugu obitelji najčešće provode u aktivnostima kod kuće (kućanski poslovi, uređivanje vrta ili okućnice, zajednička priprema jela i slično), dok među aktivnostima izvan kuće se prakticira odlazak na izlet, u kupovinu ili u šetnju. U odnosu na broj djece u obitelji, postoji razlika u aktivnostima slobodnog vremena. Primjerice, većina ispitanika koji su roditelji jednog djeteta češće zajedno idu na izlet nego roditelji koji imaju više od jednog djeteta. Isto tako, utvrđene su određene razlike u aktivnostima provođenja slobodnog vremena s obzirom na uzrast djece (učenici razredne ili predmetne nastave). Primjerice, zajednički odlazak na misu češće prakticiraju roditelji djece koja su učenici razredne nastave. Također, prema dobivenim rezultatima istraživanja, većina ispitanika smatra kako podjednako i majka i otac sudjeluju u zajedničkim aktivnostima slobodnog vremena s djetetom odnosno s djecom. S druge strane, u odnosu na očeve, majke više slobodnog vremena provode s djecom. Ipak, većina ispitanika je zadovoljna provedenim slobodnim vremenom u obitelji. Velika je važnost osvijestiti ulogu kvalitetnog provođenja slobodnog vremena.Family is the fundamental unit of society in which the process of human development and shaping of young person begins. Parents have a decisive role in upbringing. It is up to the parents to take care of the quality of the family's leisure time. Leisure time is understood differently depending on the scientific field being studied. It is often interpretated as a time in which the individual is completely free and when time can be fulfilled and shaped according to the own wishes. The aim of thesis is to examine, analyse and interpretate the ways in which primary school students spend their leisure time with families from the perspective of their parents. To purpose of aim achievement and based on the set research hypotheses, a survey questionnaire was developed. According to the results, primary school students most often spend leisure time with their families in activities at home (housework, gardening, meals preparing, etc.), while activities outside the home include going on trips, shopping together or walking in nature. In relation to number of children in the family, there is a difference in leisure time activities. For example, most respondents who are parents of one child go on a trip together more often than parents who have more than one child. Also, certain differences were found in the activities of spending leisure time with regard to the age of children (students of class teaching or students of subject teaching). For example, parents of children who are students of class teaching more often practice religious activities. Also, according to the results of the research, most respondents believe that both mother and father participate in leisure time activities with child/children. On the other hand, compared to the fathers, mothers spend more free time with their children. Nevertheless, most respondents are satisfied with the free time spent with family. It is very important to be aware of the role of quality leisure time
