The influence of stimulation on children\u27s expression through dance in the first and second age group

Diplomsko delo obravnava plesne dejavnosti otrok v predšolskem obdobju. V teoretičnem delu smo opredelili ples, ustvarjalnost v plesu, plesne spodbude, plesno vzgojo (oblike, metode, načela in otrokova potreba po plesu), ples kot umetnost v kurikulumu z opredeljenimi cilji, vlogo odraslih, primere plesnih dejavnosti za prvo in drugo starostno obdobje in načrtovanje v predšolskem obdobju (modeli načrtovanja, makro in mikro načrtovanje). Namen empiričnega dela diplomske naloge je bil preučiti vpliv spodbud na plesno izražanje otrok v prvem in drugem starostnem obdobju. Izveden je bil v vrtcu v okviru enomesečnega sklopa z naslovom »Pomlad pleše«. Ugotavljali smo, ali obstajajo razlike v učinku spodbud pri različno starih otrocih. Empirični del vsebuje mesečni sklop in priprave šestih izvedenih plesnih dejavnosti. Ugotovitve empiričnega dela so zapisane v evalvaciji neposrednega pedagoškega dela. Ugotovili smo, da imajo otroci velik interes do plesnih dejavnosti, če je ta predstavljena in načrtovana na zanimiv in izviren način. Otroci so ob primerno izbrani temi ter spodbudi k plesnemu izražanju ustvarjalni, v plesu se sprostijo in so notranje motivirani. Ustreznost teme moramo ob tem prilagoditi obema spoloma, saj le tako zagotovimo zanimanje za plesno dejavnost.The diploma paper discusses dance activities of preschool children. The theoretical part includes a definition of dance, creativity in dance, dance stimulation, dance education (methods, techniques, principles and child\u27s need for dance), dance as a form of art with its goals in the curriculum, the role of adults and examples of dance activities in the first and second preschool group (planning methods, micro and macro planning). Ožur aim was to study the influence of stimiulation on children\u27s dance expression in the first and second preschool age groups. We studied this for one month through thematic unit called »The dancing spring«. We wanted to see if the stimilation effect varied in different age groups. The empirical part involves thematic unit and lesson plans for six dance actitivies that we performed. The results of empirical part are written as an evaluation of a direct pedagogic work. We discovered that children have a great interest in dance activities only if they are planned and presented in an interesting and unique way. In case that the subject which stimulates dancing is chosen carefully, children are creative, relaxed and have inner motivation. Subject also has to be relevant for both genders, if we want children to become interested in dance activity
