Abstract

Geste su važan aspekt svakodnevne komunikacije i koriste ih govornici svih uzrasta. Cilj rada je bio ispitati uporabu gesta kod predškolske djece (4-7 godina) tipičnog razvoja. Podaci su se prikupljali analizom spontanog ponašanja u vrtićkoj skupini prema protokolu promatranja osmišljenom za potrebe ovog istraživanja. Promatranje je obuhvatilo 30-ero djece, 16 dječaka i 14 djevojčica. Rezultati su pokazali da djeca prosječno tijekom promatranog perioda od sat vremena 15,6 puta koriste geste u komunikacijske svrhe. Iako su dječaci proizveli veći broj gesta, analiza podataka pokazala je da ne postoji statistički značajna razlika u uporabi gesta između dječaka i djevojčica. Od tri dobne skupine (četverogodišnjaci, petogodišnjaci i šestogodišnjaci) najviše gesta proizvela je najstarija dobna skupina. Najčešće geste su bile deiktičke i to gesta pokazivanja. Slijede ih, u znatno manjem postotku, konvencionalne geste. U većini slučajeva geste su se koristile s komunikacijskim partnerom istog spola. Također, najčešće su korištene u svrhu komentiranja te je u većini slučajeva uz geste bio udružen govor. Ovi podaci pružaju uvid u uporabu gesta te nude jasnije kriterije pri procjeni komunikacijskih obilježja ove dobne skupine.

Abstract (english)

Gestures are an important aspect of everyday communication and are used by speakers of all ages. The aim of the study was to examine the use of gestures in typically developing children preschool children (4-7 years). Data were collected by analyzing the spontaneous behavior in kindergarten groups according to the protocol of observation designed for this survey. The observation included 30 children, 16 boys and 14 girls. The results showed that the children used gestures in communication purposes on average 15.6 times during the observed period of one hour. Although the boys produced a greater number of gestures, data analysis showed that there was no statistically significant difference in the use of gestures between boys and girls. Of the three age groups (four, five and six year old children) most gestures were produced by the oldest age group. The most common gestures were deictic, particularly the pointing gesture. Conventional gestures are followed in a much smaller percentage. In most cases, the gestures were used with the communication partner of the same gender. Also, they were most frequently used for the purpose of commenting and in most cases speech was associated with gestures. These data provide insight into the use of gesture and offer clearer criteria in the communication assessment of this age group.
