Šta interesuje našu decu i žato to nije škola

Abstract

Formiranje i razvoj interesovanja u periodu detinjstva i adolescencije ukazuje na oblast u kojoj pojedinac može ispoljiti daroviti potencijal i kasnije ostvariti kreativne doprinose. U radu se prikazuju rezultati ispitivanja koje je sprovedeno sa ciljem boljeg razumevanja uloge koji adolescenti pridaju svojim interesovanjima u slici koju konstruišu o sebi, u procesu razvoja i stabilizacije ličnog identiteta. Ispitivanjem su bili obuhvaćeni učenici završnog razreda osnovne škole koji su odgovarali na otvoreno pitanje: „Ko sam ja”. Interesovanja su dobijena kao rezultat tematske analize koja je sprovedena bez unapred definisanog kodnog sistema. Istraživački nalazi potvrđuju da su interesovanja u značajnoj meri bila prisutna u slici adolescenata o sebi, ali da su malo bila povezana sa njihovim školskim učenjem. Sportska, umetnička i naučna interesovanja se u najvećoj meri zadovoljavaju i podržavaju kroz razne oblike vanškolskih aktivnosti. U diskusiji se razmatraju uslovi koji bi u većoj meri podržali razvoj interesovanja adolescenata kroz povezivanje njihovih školskih i vanškolskih aktivnosti.

The expressing and creating of interests in the period of childhood and adolescence indicates an area in which an individual can show gifted potential and later make creative contributions. The paper presents the results of research conducted in order to better understand the role that adolescents attach to their interests in the image they construct about themselves, in the process of personal development and stabilization as an important aspect of their identity development. The survey included students in the final grade of primary school who answered the open question "Who am I". Interests were obtained as a result of a thematic analysis conducted without a pre-defined code system. The research findings confirm that interests were significantly present in the adolescent's self-image, but that they were little related to their school learning. Sports, artistic and scientific interests were mostly fulfilled and maintained through various forms of out-of-school activities. Conditions that would support the stimulation of adolescents' interests by connecting their school and out-of-school activities are discussed.
