s. The first set represents the basic demographic variables (age and working the frequency and duration of organized outdoor activities 53
age of the educator, the group in which he works in the surveyed school year,
working age, etc.). The second set represents the indirect measurement of the
dependent variable (the frequency and duration of the OGDP for each month).
The third set presents independent variables (opinion, knowledge, environ-
ment and management support), measured through 5 theoretically, equally
strong indicators.
Organization and process of data collection
The questionnaires were handed out having been agreed upon with the heads
of kindergartens. Data were collected for the previous school year 2016/2017,
in September and October 2017. The educators volunteered and anonymously
participated in questionnaires.
Methods of data processing
We entered the acquired data into Excel and then processed it with the SPSS
program (version 23). Data were processed in several successive phases. In the
first phase, the frequencies of individual responses were calculated using the
Frequencies subroutine. On numerical and other appropriately transformed
variables, we calculated the descriptive statistics with the Descriptives subrou-
tine. On the basis of the results obtained at this stage, the corresponding hy-
potheses for the verification of hypotheses were made, which equally included
several components of each set. On the basis of previous research and acces-
sible literature, we constructed the following variables: management support,
environment, knowledge and opinion. The influence of the selected factors was
measured by regression analysis. We assumed hypotheses at a level of 5% risk.
Results
With multiple regression, we wanted to determine the possible relationship be-
tween the frequency and duration of OGDP and some indicators of knowl-
edge, opinion, environment and management support. We compiled two mod-
els (Figure 1), which we separately checked with multiple regression.

implementation are influenced by knowledge, opinion, environment and
management support.
