Sažetak
Summary
The Croatian language has three dialects - the Štokavian, the
Kajkavian, and the Čakavian. All the dialects, including the
Kajkavian, are a dynamic language phenomenon undergoing constant
changes. Nowadays, due to the huge influence of media and technology,
dialectal language characteristics are altered or disappear
altogether. However, the Kajkavian dialect is present in everyday
communication, it is learned by children as a first language, whereas
in kindergarten and school the children are systematically faced with
the Croatian standard language. In our project activity conducted in
three kindergartens in Podravina we wanted to deduct to what extent
were the children from the Kajkavian region aware of the
distinctiveness of their speech and its relation to the Croatian
standard language.
The project in this case is a method of learning while being connected
with everyday life, and a learning based on questioning, searching for
answers and solving problems. It is a learning method where the
participants are fully integrated, thus providing the best results.
The paper describes project activity with the main topic being the
Kajkavian sub-dialect in Podravina. The project activity was conducted
at the beginning of 2018 in kindergartens in Podravina, or, more
specifically, in Drnje, Gola and Ždala, involving some thirty
children. The Kajkavian dialect and the Podravina sub-dialects are
described in the paper. The project history is also presented, as well
as the project activities that were carried out and the goals, the
data subject specimen, instruments applied, procedures, and project
activity results. On basis of data analysis, it was discovered that
children from Drnje equally use the standard Croatian language and the
dialect, children from Gola preferably use the dialect, whereas the
Ždala children prefer the standard Croatian language.
