Implementation of free time students with disabilities in development

Abstract

Leisure time is time for relaxation, socializing, having fun, but also, that is the time in which children need to express their talents and interests and to develop certain skills. Children and young people have much more free time than adults and that time must be guided and organized. Goal of this paper is to determine how much time students with disabilities are spending in certain types of leisure activities. The sample included 30 students with disabilities from fifth to eighth grade from elementary school 'Dragan kovačević' from Belgrade. For data collecting purposes, the technique of 24-time diary was used. The results of the study show that children with disabilities are spending the most of the time in passive activities. During the day, the most common activities are one aimed at rest and relaxation - 155,04 minutes, next are school activities - 96 minutes, while the least time is spent on expressive activities - 29,58 minutes. Children state that the school should offer more substantial ways of spending leisure time.

Slobodno vreme je vreme za relaksaciju, druženje, zabavu, ali i vreme u kome deca treba da ispolje svoje talente i interesovanja i razviju određene veštine. Deca i mladi imaju znatno više slobodnog vremena od odraslih i njihovo slobodno vreme mora biti vođeno i organizovano. Cilj rada je utvrditi koliko vremena učenici sa razvojnim smetnjama provode u pojedinim vrstama slobodnih aktivnosti. Uzorkom je obuhvaćeno 30 učenika sa smetnjama u razvoju od V do VIII razreda Osnovne škole 'Dragan Kovačević' iz Beograda. Za prikupljanje podataka korišćena je tehnika 24-časovnog vremenskog dnevnika (24-hour time diary). Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da deca sa smetnjama u razvoju najviše vremena provode u pasivnim aktivnostima. Tokom dana najviše su zastupljene aktivnosti kojima je cilj odmor i relaksacija - 155,04 minuta, zatim socijalne aktivnosti - 96 minuta, dok najmanje vremena troše na ekspresivne aktivnosti - 29,58 minuta. Deca navode da škola treba da ponudi sadržajnije načine korišćenja slobodnog vremena.
