REAL AND PREFERRED STUDENTS’ ACTIVITIES IN THEIR FREE TIME

Sažetak

Closing of cinemas, half-empty theatres, increase in drug abuse, lowering of the age limit for consummation of the first cigarette or alcoholic drink, increased frequency of vagrancy, prostitution, juvenile delinquency, etc. — all these are negative phenomena which go deep into the free time sphere. It could be argued that, among others, reasons for them are the failure to acquire the culture of meaningful spending of free time, lack of self-esteem and inability for rational and moral decisions in numerous crises which are unavoidable in contemporary society. Recognizing the significance of free time for quality and culture of life of the contemporary individual, the question arises about how young people— students— organize their free time, and by what activities they fulfil it or want to fulfil it? Do they think about free time activities as one of the ways to enhance their personalities? These questions become even more significant considering the fact that the students in question are future teachers, i.e. potential future organizers of free time activities. The results of both theoretical analyses and empirical studies affirm the role and significance of free time in students’ lives. It is necessary to raise the consciousness about significance and concrete activities for positive influence of pedagogy of free time in educational situations.
