| Abstract [eng] |
Recreation is a complex process in which a person takes part directly. A person seeks to regain his/her physical strength, psychological balance and state of mind also he/she seeks to feel a satisfaction in surroundings which is readjusted or specially chosen for the recreation purpose. Recreation is also the upbringing of personality. The disregard for child’s interests in a quickly developing society is conditioned by the alterations of market and processes of globalisation. Although, a family is an essential element of society and it gets primary responsibility for children protection, education and developing in our country the family is not able to create harmonious conditions of socialization for a child. Consequently on this understanding, the role of school which is another institution of child socialization is very important. The purpose of this work is to ascertain the peculiarities of organisation the recreation activities in III-IV forms. The tasks of work are following: to ascertain how is the recreation activity organised in III-IV forms; to estimate on what level the present organisation of recreation activity satisfies pupils from III-IV forms; to discuss what recreation activity do pupils and their parents want; to study the experience of pupils from III-IV forms, their parents and teachers and at the same time to define the peculiarities of organization the recreational activities. There was given the following hypothesis: in a modern school there is paid too little attention for organization the recreational activities; i.e. means which stimulates a rapid process of pupils socialization, the formation of child personality, the prevention of bad habits and crimes. Well organized recreational activity provides not only a pleasure, rest but also develops inborn talents of pupils. In this work there are analysed the theoretical aspects of organising recreational activity in III-IV forms: the conception of recreation and its changing; the cohesion of free time and recreation; free time is one of the society’s development factors; the structure of free time and its influence for abilities development; the culture of children free time – the problems and perspectives of socialization process. Recreation is also the sociocultural part of extracurricular education. In this work there are also discussed the trends of extracurricular education (the environmental and ecological education; unprofessional sport activity; artistical training; technical creation and technical sport; intellectual training; regional studies and education of ethnic culture; hobby), the principles of extracurricular education activity. The school and teachers are like the creators of multicultaral space. The competences of the teacher who is a leader of minimal organisation are very important; as well as the interaction features of a teacher and pupil. There was fulfilled a sociological research, i.e. collected a particular sociological information and after its working up there were done conclusions. There was a seeking to find out what are the peculiarities of organisation the recreational activities in III-IV forms and on what level this activity coincides with the needs of pupils. The general research set is pupils of III-IV forms, their parents and teachers from different towns and villages of Lithuania. After fulfilling the research and summarizing its results about the attitude of pupils, parents and teachers towards recreation and its peculiarities of organisation there were done the following conclusions: 1. The concepts “recreation” and “free time”, which at present are used in pedagogical and methodical literature, are not synonyms. One of them is used when we talk about activity and another one when we talk about time. 2. Recreational activity which is organised at schools do not satisfy pupils’ needs, because there is a lack of activity variety and attractive occupation forms. 3. In the management of recreational activity parents are not very active – they take part in this activity only when pedagogues request it. 4. The main and most favourite recreation form of pupils is excursions and tourist hikes. 5. The extracurricular activity forms which are provided at schools nowadays do not satisfy pupils’ needs – sport clubs predominate and not all children can attend them because of the health problems or other reasons. 6. There are too less recreational events held at school for pupils and their parents. 7. The interaction of teachers and parents is not sufficient when the recreation of pupils is implemented; parents are interested in children recreation very seldom or they do not pay attention to this education branch at all. 8. Poor material facilities and plenty financial problems keep down the growth of recreational activity effectiveness. 9. There are too less day-camps for the rest organised or they are not organised at all. 10. The professional organisation of recreational activity requires new competences from pedagogues; it is known that there is a lack of these competences because the pedagogues do not get enough information about peculiarities and methods of recreational activity. 11. Professionally organised recreational activity of pupils allows to achieve one of the most important education’s goals – to vouch qualitative and prolonged education and realistically reckon that a pupil and his/her needs are the centre of education process. 12. There is paid too less attention for pupils’ recreation in Lithuania’s education system; therefore, there is a need to prepare the state strategy of recreational pupil’s activity, as it is a significant part of education. |
