The Master Thesis is focused on summarizing of theoretical pieces of knowledge in the process of learning and teaching in an elementary school (the second stage according to Czech educational system). The thesis is also concerned about the role of locomotion in this process as well as the usage of movement activities in a foreign language teaching process. Theoretical resources were verified by the research investigation and a pedagogical experiment which proved a positive influence of a motion to the effectiveness of teaching in a particular research group. In compliance with the gathered information there was a file of various activities created, which offers methodical and didactic description of those activities and game. These are suitable for the usage of movement activities during the teaching of German language on the elementary schools. This activity file should inspire all German language teachers.

and keywords The level of movement skills and dexterity in relation to movement activities of pre- school children in their ordinary lives. The diploma thesis deals with the issue of movement activity of pre-school children. Movement activities are vital part of healthy life, especially for children. It should be an essential part of every activity, no matter if it is sport, game, relaxation or just a walk to school. It should be a common part of every pre-school child daily programme. The activities reflect the level of movement skills and dexterity, which get behind so much these days. That is why it is necessary to evolve and improve them. The thesis is focused on influence of controlled movement activities to results of elementary skills and potential of pre-school children. The theoretical part describes it in general (movement activity, skills, dexterity, movement,...) and individual meanings. The practical part deals with testing of children and questioning of their parents. The results bring information on relation between of amount of controlled activities of children and their performance in basic kinetic tests. The fundamental is to create an overview of level of movement skills and dexterity using testing of particular age groups of pre-school children Preschool age Movement skills...

Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka hur förskollärare ser på sin roll i fysiska aktiviteter med barn, samt se hur förskollärare arbetar med planering av rörelseaktiviteter i förskolans verksamhet. Studiens undersökning gjordes i form av en webbenkät som riktade sig till förskollärare med förskollärarexamen. Sammanlagt 113 stycken deltagare besvarade enkäten. I studien användes den psykomotoriska teorin för att förklara och analysera det resultat som framkom från undersökningen. Resultatet visar på att förskollärare ser på genomförandet av planerade rörelseaktiviteter i förskolans verksamhet som en mycket viktig uppgift, och att lärarledda aktiviteter kan förekomma i både planerade och spontana former. Det finns även en inställning hos många förskollärare att barn får tillräckligt med fysisk aktivitet genom den övriga tiden på förskolan, till exempel genom utevistelse och fri lek. Resultatet visar vidare att förskollärare som anser att de har kompetens inom fysisk aktivitet i större utsträckning schemalägger rörelseaktiviteter, medan förskollärare som inte anser sig tillräckligt kompetenta planerar in fysiska aktiviteter i mindre utsträckning. Resultatet visar att majoriteten av förskollärare har en positiv attityd till sin roll i fysiska aktiviteter med barn och tycker det är mycket viktigt att delta i planerade såväl som barninitierade rörelseaktiviteter. Tidsbrist och övriga arbetsuppgifter tas upp som orsaker som kan minska förskollärares delaktighet i dessa aktiviteter. / The purpose of this study was to examine how preschool teachers’ view their role in physical activities with children, and also how preschool teachers work with the planning of movement activities in the preschool. The study was conducted through a web-based survey aimed at preschool teachers with a preschool teacher’s degree. A total of 113 participants answered the survey. The study used the psychomotor theory to explain and analyze the result that emerged from the study. The results show that preschool teachers view the implementation of planned movement activities in preschool as a very important task, and that teacher-led activities can occur in both planned and spontaneous forms. There is also an attitude among many preschool teachers that children get enough physical activity through the time they spend outside and free play. The results also show that preschool teachers who consider themselves competent regarding physical activity also plan movement activities to a greater extent, while preschool teachers who do not consider themselves adequately qualified plan physical activities to a lesser extent. The results show that the majority of preschool teachers have a positive attitude towards their role in physical activities with children and that it is very important to participate in planned movement activities as well as movement activities initiated by children. Lack of time and other work tasks are considered reasons that may reduce preschool teachers’ participation in these activities.

<p>Fizička aktivnost u velikoj meri može pozitivno uticati na zdravstveni status i psihosocijalno stanje, pa je glavni cilj istraživanja bio usmeren na analizu fizičke aktivnosti pred&scaron;kolske dece. Teorijski deo rada obuhvata sve &scaron;to je bitno za razumevanje postavljene teme, dok je empirijski deo podeljen na četiri dela. U prvom delu su izloženi rezultati dobijeni anketom i dnevnikom aktivnosti koje su popunjavali roditelji, a analizirana je dečja aktivnost radnim danima i vikendom. Drugi deo se odnosi na obim kretne aktivnosti dece tokom boravka u vrtiću, gde je statističkom obradom podataka utvrđeno kakav je obim kretne aktivnosti dečaka i devojčica i od čega zavisi. U okviru plana i programa koji se sprovodi u pred&scaron;kolskoj ustanovi, predviđeno je da se upražnjavaju usmerene aktivnosti s motoričkim sadržajem, &scaron;to je analizirano u trećem i četvrtom delu (trajanje, struktura i sadržaj aktivnosti, kao i motorička&nbsp; angažovanost dece na aktivnostima).</p> / <p>Physical activity can have a positive impact on the health status and psychosocial condition; therefore the main aim of this research was focused on the analysis of physical activities of preschool children. The theoretical part of the study includes all important matters essential for understanding the subject, while the empirical part is divided into four sections. The first section presents the results obtained from a questionnaire and a diary of activities completed by parents, and it analyzes the children&#39;s activity on weekdays and weekends. The second section relates to the extent of motor activity of children during their stay in the kindergarten. The statistical analysis in this section shows the scope of motor activity of boys and girls and what it depends on. According to the plan implemented in preschool institution, it is expected to have directed activities with motor content. This part is analyzed in the third and fourth section (duration, structure and content of activities as well as motor<br />involvement of children in activities).</p>

Titel: ”... and legs that will joyfully run…” Pedagogical perspectives, children's movements and cognitive learning. ”...och bena blir fulla med spring”. Pedagogisk grundsyn, barns rörelser och kognitiva lärande.   Syftet med studien är att synliggöra fem yrkesverksamma förskollärares inställning till barns rörelsebehov, hur de uppmärksammar betydelsen av barns rörelseaktiviteter för deras kognitiva lärande och hur de arbetar med barns rörelsebehov utomhus. Utifrån syftet har vi formulerat följande frågeställningar:   Vad är förskollärarnas inställning till barns rörelsebehov? Vilka kopplingar ser förskollärarna mellan barns rörelseaktiviteter och barns kognitiva lärande? Hur arbetar förskollärarna med barns rörelsebehov utomhus?   Studien är genomförd med semistrukturerade djupintervjuer med yrkesverksamma förskollärare utifrån en kvalitativ forskningsmetod som ligger nära en fenomenografisk forskningsansats. Resultatet visar att förskollärares pedagogiska grundsyn, organisatoriska och miljömässiga faktorer påverkar innehållet i verksamheten och hur barn får stimulans i sin rörelseutveckling. De pedagogiska grundsyner som studien fördjupar sig i är förmedlingspedagogik och dialogpedagogik. Studien visar att förskollärare är medvetna om barns rörelsebehov för deras fortsatta rörelseutveckling, sociala och kognitiva lärande men att utevistelsen används på olika sätt beroende på den rådande pedagogiska grundsynen samt organisatoriska och miljömässiga faktorer.
