Samopodoba in ukvarjanje s športom pri učencih šestega razreda osnovne šole ; Self-concept and sport participation in sixth grade basic school students

Namen raziskave je bil preučiti povezanost med različnimi področji samopodobe in športno aktivnostjo osnovnošolcev. V vzorec smo vključili 109 učencev šestega razreda različnih slovenskih osnovnih šol, ki so izpolnili Lestvico samozaznave za otroke (Self- Perception Profile for Children % SPPC). Ugotovili smo, da se učenci v splošnem pozitivno ocenjujejo v vseh sestavinah samopodobe, obstajajo pa statistično pomembne razlike med spoloma v samoocenah na nekaterih področjih. Fantje v primerjavi z dekleti izkazujejo višjo samopodobo v zunanjem videzu in športni kompetenci, dekleta pa se bolje ocenjujejo v vedenju. Redno in organizirano športno aktivni učenci se v primerjavi s športno neaktivnimi vrstniki pomembno višje ocenjujejo v šolski kompetenci in športni kompetenci. Dobljeni rezultati v veliki meri potrjujejo pomen gibalne/športne aktivnosti v procesu oblikovanja samopodobe in lahko služijo kot usmeritev pri spodbujanju aktivnega življenjskega sloga mladih. ; The purpose of the study was to examine self-concept in relation to sport participation among basic school children. The sample included 109 sixth grade students of different Slovenian basic schools. The participants completed the Slovenian version of the Self- Perception Profile for Children - SPPC. The results show significant gender differences in some specific components of self-concept. Boys exhibited higher scores in perceived physical appearance and athletic competence, whereas girls exhibited higher levels in perceived behavioural conduct. Mean values show that students, engaged in organized sport practice, reported higher scores in all self-concept subscales than their inactive peers, although significant differences between these two groups were found in perceived scholastic competence and athletic competence. The study offers a detailed insight into the multidimensional self-perceptions of sixth grade basic school students. The results highlight the importance of physical/sports activity in the self-concept development and can be useful in ...
