Sažetak
The research highlighted the need to equalize the importance attached to the stimulating environment in indoor and outdoor spaces and the way in which educators organize these spaces, plan activities and incentives in them, and strengthen the educators' competences for organizing and planning outdoor stays. Through direct insight into the practice, it became evident that outdoor activities were rarely organized and planned and, apart from large static equipment, the yard was free of other incentives. Most often, educators only monitored children's behaviour, warning them to be careful and obey the rules. Therefore, an attempt was made to raise educators' awareness by introducing changes in the layout and the organization of the courtyard and by forming different external centres of activity. The research shows changes in educators' attitudes and children’s behaviour in relation to their initial state.
