Abstract

Program Oaza za djecu čini skup izvannastavnih aktivnosti koje se provode u školskim vrtovima, te je trenutačno uključeno 6 osnovnih škola u Zagrebu. Kroz program, djeca obrađuju i brinu za školski vrt, sudjeluju u različitim radionicama te surađuju s volonterima iz stranih zemalja. Međutim, program do sada nije sustavno evaluiran iz perspektive samih korisnika. Cilj ovog istraživanja je procijeniti učinak edukativnog programa Oaza za djecu iz perspektive nastavnika i učenika na percipirano fizičko zdravlje djece (u pogledu tjelesne aktivnosti i prehrambenih navika), na ekološku osviještenost, socijalne vještine vezane uz timski rad (suradnja učenika) te komunikacijske i jezične vještine. Provedbom online anketnog istraživanja prikupili smo podatke 66 učenika (od 3. do 8. razreda) i 7 nastavnika, koji idu u prilog pretpostavci o pozitivnom učinku programa na različite aspekte života učenika. Učenici se radi vrtlarenja više kreću, a dio učenika je naveo kako su poboljšali svoje prehrambene navike. Učenici koji su sudjelovali u projektu pokazuju ekološku osviještenost te brigu za okoliš kroz razdvajanje otpada. Kroz projekt učenici su izloženi timskom radu te pokazuju određeni stupanj suradnje i pomagačkog ponašanja. Komunikacija s volonterima iz stranih zemalja je prilika učenicima da upotrijebe, uvježbaju i bolje nauče engleski jezik, te je dio učenika iskazao kako se poboljšalo njihovo znanje stranog jezika. Dobiveni podaci daju dobre temelje za daljnja istraživanja i poticanje implementacije programa u škole koje nisu uključene.

Abstract (english)

Program Oasis for children is an assembly of extra curriculum activities that take place in school garden, and at the moment, six elementary schools are involved. Through program, children cultivate and care for school garden, they participate in different workshops and cooperate with foreign volunteers. The aim of this research is to estimate the effects of educational program Oasis for children from teachers' and pupils' perspective. We were interested in effects of this program on children’s physical health in a matter of physical activity and nutrition, on ecological awareness, team work and cooperation among pupils, and on communication and lingual skills. By conducting research via online survey, we gathered data from pupils (3rd-8th grade) and teachers, that support our hypothesis about positive impact of the program on different aspects of children’s lives. Through gardening, pupils increase their physical activity and some pupils indicated that they had amended their eating habits. Pupils included in program are showing ecological awareness and care for the environment through separating waste. Through program, pupils work in teams and they show a certain degree of cooperation, but the effects of the program are unclear. Communication with foreign volunteers is an opportunity for pupils to use, practice and learn English language, and some of them have indicated that their knowledge of foreign language has improved. Obtained data give firm basis for future research and also for abetting of implementation of program in schools that are not yet included.
