ABSTRACT Introduction There has been no valid and reliable instrument available to measure the impact of oral health on the quality of life of Slovenian preschool children. The main aim of this study ...was to develop and evaluate the validity and reliability of the first Slovenian instrument assessing Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) preschool children: the ECOHIS-SVN. Methods The ECOHIS-SVN was developed using forward-backward translations and with the participation of children aged under six and their parents. The children’s teeth were examined, and parents were asked to complete questionnaires, including the ECOHIS-SVN. The internal consistency of ECOHIS-SVN was evaluated through the calculation of Cronbach’s alpha (α), test-retest reliability with an intra-class-correlation coefficient (ICC), convergent validity with Spearman’s rank correlation (r) and criterion validity with the Mann-Whitney test. The association between the ECOHIS-SVN score and parents’ age, educational level, self-reported oral health and OHIP-SVN14 was estimated using multiple linear regression. Results In the study, 255 children participated, with a mean age of 4.8 years (±0.8). The ECOHIS-SVN questionnaire was completed by the parents of all 255 children and re-filled by 71 parents. The results of the total ECOHIS-SVN scale include α=0.85, ICC=0.85, and r=0.6-0.75. A statistically significant association was found between the ECOHIS-SVN and parents’ age and between the ECOHIS-SVN and parents’ OHIP-SVN14 in the whole group and in the subgroup of children with no teeth affected by cavitated caries (dmft=0) (p=0.025, p=0.028), respectively. Conclusion ECOHIS-SVN enables further studies to assess the OHRQoL of preschool children in the Slovenian-speaking population.
The purpose of this study was to identify the possibility of unnoticed reduction in salt content of bread as a basic food in the diet of preschool children. The response of children to less salty ...bread and the role of teachers and teacher assistants in the introduction of novelties into children's nutrition ware studied.
Using hedonic sensory evaluation in the case of bread, the perception of salty taste and responses of preschool children to salt reduction were observed. The combination of quantitative and qualitative data analysis obtained from the case study group, composed of 22 preschool children and 66 teachers and teacher assistants, was studied.
The results show that a 30% salt reduction was not registered by the children, while a 50% reduction of the salt content, compared to the original recipe, though noted, was not disruptive. The perception of taste and development of good eating habits at an early age could be influenced by teachers and teacher assistants' verbal and non-verbal communication.
Salt reduction does not significantly affect the rating of satisfaction with the tested product. Educational personnel must be aware of their decisive influence on children's perception of new and less salty products. Such an approach could represent a basis for creating children's eating habits, which will be of particular importance later in their lives. The findings may possibly result in an update of the national nutrition policy.
Članek podaja osnovni pregled neformalnega učenja tujih jezikov v Sloveniji, saj je do sedaj objavljenih le malo virov s podatki o tej tematiki, čeprav bi bili pri odločanju o tujejezikovnem ...izobraževanju in jezikovni politiki vsekakor koristni. Pregled ločeno obravnava tri starostne skupine: predšolske otroke, šolsko mladino ter odrasle. Obseg in oblike neformalnega učenja tujih jezikov kot tudi nabor najpogostejših jezikov se med temi skupinami nekoliko razlikujejo. Prispevek črpa iz razpoložljivih podatkov, ki niso enako celostni in zanesljivi kot podatki o formalnem učenju tujih jezikov, vendar nakazujejo nekaj razmisleka vrednih trendov, na primer velik porast učenja tujih jezikov v predšolski in osnovnošolski dobi ter rastoče povpraševanje po nekaterih jezikih, ki so v formalnem izobraževanju zelo redko zastopani.

Ljubljana: telovadba za predšolske otroke; otroci v telovadnici, vaditelj in vadba, hoja po nizki gredi, o ...pomenu telesne vadbe za najmlajše govorita, izjavi prof. Drago ULAGA in prof. Janez TOME.
Takole potekajo ure telesne vzgoje s predšolskimi otroci ne le v tej telovadnici, ampak povsod po naših krajih, kjer so pravilno razumeli potrebo dela z najmlajšimi. Starostni dobi primerno izbrana vadba pospešuje vsestranski harmonični razvoj otroka. To smo imeli tudi pred očmi, ko smo se pred nedeljskim občnim zborom Partizana Slovenije odločili, da posnamemo tole reportažo. Na vprašanje, ali je telesna vzgoja predšolskemu otroku pomembna, nam je profesor Drago Ulago povedal tole: /izjava prof. Ulaga/.
V predšolskem otrokovem času ima telesna vzgoja izrazito igralni značaj. Otrok se v igri telesno razvija, oblikuje in se smerno vzgaja na najbolj ustrezen način. Poslušajmo, kaj meni o delu z najmlajšimi vaditelj profesor Janez Tome /izjava Janez Tome/.- Original language summary:
