A Survey on Everyday Physical Education in Kindergartens of Sopron and its Region

Abstract

The actuality of the topic is that in the view of a healthy lifestyle and the EU offers, not only in schools but also in kindergartens, everyday physical education is more emphasized. An experienced kindergarten teacher knows that the roles of everyday physical education are to consolidate children’s skills, to satisfy their exercise needs and to make them get used to everyday exercise. The aim of the research is to get a clear view of everyday physical education in kindergartens on the basis of the local pattern. We analysed documents and questionnaires to research the content, material and institutional conditions and the implementation of physical education. Our results partly proved that according to the base program a daily guided exercise does not take place in the same form as in the previous years and decades. It is now rather built on the activity of guided playing. It is guided according to the age of the children and it is a playful activity full of movement.
