THE IMPORTANCE OF OUTDOOR LEARNING AT EARLY AGES

The idea of learning outside the classroom, i.e. learning outdoors, is not at all new and recent. The beginnings of outdoor learning can be found in the works of pedagogical classics (Russo, Froebel, Pestalozzi, Montessori) at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century, but also by Serbian pedagogues, primarily Sreten Adžić, the first headmaster of the Serbian Royal Men’s Teacher’s School in Jagodina (1897), although they teach intuitively different skills, children’s play and stay outdoor is as old as human civilization. It wasn’t until the late eighteenth century that children began to be seen as individuals in their own right; previously they were regarded by society as miniature adults .. In the paper, we analyze the advantages and importance of outdoor learning for children at an early age and present the results of the students survey - future preschool teachers of the Faculty of Education of the University of Kragujevac, who, for the first time within their formal education, had the opportunity to, both theoretically and practically, become familiar with the basic principles of forest pedagogy and outdoor learning. 43 students of the final year of academic studies in the department for teacher in preschool institutions filled out the survey anonymously on a five-point Likert-type scale. The results show that students’ prior knowledge - future preschool teachers about forest pedagogy and outdoor learning is rather modest, that most respondents have positive opinion about working with children in nature and considers such work interesting, useful, but difficult and demanding. Future preschool teachers believe that the benefits of working with children in nature are great, starting with motor development, through physical and mental health, to the development of ecological awareness and a positive attitude towards nature as a whole. Significant number of respondents are of the opinion that by attending the proffesional meeting and workshop “Šumagogija (šuma meaning forest + pedagogy ) - forest pedagogy from idea to realization” significantly increased their professional competence by visiting the forest playground in the Botanical Garden in Kragujevac and openly expresses the view that, if given the opportunity, they would accept a job in the forest kindergartens. For these reasons it is necessary that forest pedagogy and methodological specifics of outdoor learning become an integral part of compulsory subjects at the basic studies of future preschool teachers, to systematically carry out professional development of people who work with children of early ages and to enable teachers who are already employed in preschool institutions to attended seminars, round tables, gatherings and teacher trainings that have as their theme work with children in nature, in the forest, and outdoors.

Dynamics of indicators of motor functions on the background of physical rehabilitation in children of early age with epilepsy and motor disorders

Epilepsy is a chronic brain disease and one of the most common neurological diseases in the world, manifested by sudden seizures due to increased paroxysmal activity of neurons. There are no published studies aimed at assessing the dynamics of motor development in young children suffering from epilepsy with motor disorders.Purpose. The paper aimed at studying the dynamics of motor function indicators in patients with epilepsy on the background of movement disorders during three courses of rehabilitation treatment.Material and methods. We studied 123 young children with epilepsy and motor disorders. Age ranged from 9 months to 24 months. All patients were divided into 3 groups: group 1 patients who received only general massage, group 2: patients who received Vojta therapy, group 3: patients who received massage and Vojta therapy. The duration of remission for clinical seizures in all groups was at least 3 months, remission for video EEG monitoring in all patients was 23 months. Three courses of medical rehabilitation were carried out with an interval of 2 to 5 months for 1015 sessions of 2530 minutes daily. The dynamics of motor development of patients and the effectiveness of medical rehabilitation were assessed using the GMFCS scale, before and after each course of medical rehabilitation.Results. After the first course of rehabilitation, almost no improvement was observed and was unreliable, while after the second course there was a significant positive trend, especially pronounced in group 3. At the same time, the growth of the scale indicators in the period from the end of the first course to the end of the third was almost linear.Conclusion. The data obtained indicate the presence of a certain rigidity of the motor system of such patients, which determines the minimum dynamics after the first course of rehabilitation. Only starting from the second course, we begin to notice a linear improvement in the indicators of motor functions. The preferred duration of the interval between courses, in our opinion, is not less than two and not more than three months.

Динамика базовых антропометрических показателей детей раннего и дошкольного возраста в Республике Беларусь на рубеже XX–XXI веков

Introduction. In recent years, insufficient attention has been paid to the study of the dynamics of the growth and development of children of early and preschool age, their variability over time and depending on various factors of the external and internal environment. The literature data are contradictory and indicate two multidirectional processes – acceleration and deceleration. Materials and methods. A comparative analysis of basic anthropometric indicators of physical development (length and body weight) in children of early and preschool age in Belarus, obtained in 2021 (group I) and in 1989–1997 (group II), was carried out. These populations were homogeneous in place of residence, ethnicity, and close in time of inspection. The number of boys and girls in the first group was 700 people, in the second group – 3351 and 3175 people, respectively. Results. Monitoring of anthropometric indicators of children of early and preschool age allowed to establish the features of physical development. Boys of group I from birth to 6 years of age are significantly more likely to have higher body weight indicators compared to group II. In girls, this trend was not registered only at the age of 3 years (P>0.05). In all age periods, both sexes of the group I significantly more often have higher body length indicators compared to the group II. The most pronounced difference in body length (over 4 cm) in children of the group I and group II was noted in boys and girls in the age groups of 2 and 5 years. The analysis shows an increase in somatometric indicators of physical development and the phenomenon of acceleration. Conclusion. The conducted studies have established the presence of higher values of body length and weight in children in 2021 compared to their peers in 1989–1997. Higher levels of all the studied indicators were noted in boys than in girls. @ 2023. This work is licensed under a CC BY 4.0 license.
