Abstract:

On the sample of two hundred eight grade students at primary schools in Velika Gorica (Croatia) a research has been conducted with the goal of estimating the part of kinesiological activities of students and using the informational-communicational technologies (ICT) in modelling the free time of the eight grade students in primary school. The instrument that was used in the research was my own survey questionnaire. The dependent variables of the quality of the PE lessons will be constructed in an ordinal five degrees scale of Likert type. The research questions that are being placed are: is the prevalence of using informational-communicational technologies and the kinaesthetic activities in the students’ free time highly represented, in the organization of students’ free time has the greater role the usage of informational-communicational technologies (ICT) rather than engaging in some kinesiological activity and does the usage of informational-communicational technologies (ICT) encourage students on doing kinesiological activities. In the processing the data a linear hierarchical regression analysis (stepwise model) was used but in bootstrapped model. Also, a parameter one step t test was used with the criterial value of meridians on a scale.

As a part of linear hierarchical recessive analysis, the contribution of specified predictors has been explored on a dependent variable (modelling the students’ free time). Based on the obtained results we can state that there is a significant statistical connection between the frequency of using informational-communicational technologies (ICT) with the engagement in some sports activity and that the usage of informational-communicational technology will encourage students to greater engagement in some kinaesthetic activity in the free time.
