DIFFERENCES IN CILDRENS MOTOR ABILITIES WITH REGARD TO THEIL LIVING ENVIROMENT AND SEX

V diplomski nalogi sem primerjal motorične sposobnosti mestnih in podeželskih predšolskih otrok starih od 5,5 do 6 let. Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti razlike v razvitosti motoričnih sposobnosti predšolskih otrok mestnega in vaškega okolja in razlike v razvitosti motoričnih sposobnosti deklic in dečkov mestnega in vaškega okolja. Uporabil sem deskriptivno metodo* proučevanja trenutnega stanja razvitosti motoričnih sposobnosti predšolskih otrok dveh različnih okolij. Z rezultati sem želel dokazati, da so vaški otroci zaradi načina življenja in okolja kjer živijo spretnejši in motorično bolj razviti. Rezultati bodo pripomogli, da bodo vzgojitelji mestnih okolij izvajali številne vaje s katerimi bodo razvijali motorične sposobnosti teh otrok in s tem dosegli, da se motorične sposobnosti mestnih in vaških otrok ne bodo razlikovale.In this dissertation, the motor skills of urban and rural preschool children aged 5.5 to 6 years are compared. The purpose of this research was to establish the differences in motor skill development in preschool children from urban and rural areas, as well as the differences in girls’ and boys’ motor skill development. A descriptive method* of studying the current motor skill development level in preschool children from the two different areas was used. The purpose of this study was to show that children from rural areas are more skilful and have better developed motor skills because of their lifestyle and living environment. The results can be used by child care workers in urban areas in implementing exercises for motor skill development in urban children that will ensure that the motor skills of urban and rural children do not differ
