VANNASTAVNE AKTIVNOSTI U FUNKCIJI PEDAGOŠKE PREVENCIJE NEPRIHVATLJIVIH OBLIKA PONAŠANJA MLADIH
Leisure time is one of the important factors influencing the development of young people, and intentional educational activity in it has three functions: preventive, formative & curative. In this paper, we examined leisure time in service of pedagogical prevention of socially unacceptable forms of youth behavior in order to determine its content, forms & activities in this domain. The research was conducted in November 2020, in Trebinje, during which 200 high school students & 4 school pedagogues were surveyed. The general re-search hypothesis - that leisure time of young people provides significant opportunities for pedagogical prevention with encouragement & assistance to young people in its design & productive use, and that the education of young people in leisure time is unjustifiably neglected in theoretical and practical educational activities, has been confirmed, as well as sub-hypotheses about the functionality of youth activities in leisure time & the impact of gender on the manifestation of socially unacceptable behavior. Hypotheses about the general manifestation of these forms of youth behavior, the influence of age, socioeconomic status & participation in extracurricular activities on the phenomenon as well as the attitudes of pedagogues about socially unacceptable behavior of young people & the effects of school prevention programs were partially confirmed. The obtained findings support the results of studies by other authors & conclusions that emerge from them on how the potential of leisure time for positive development & prevention is used insufficiently used. In further research, it would be valuable to focus on sociodemographic characteristics whose impact on leisure time has not been examined here, which have proved significant in other research and practice.
