Learning through creative movement in second grade of primary school

During my study at the faculty, I attended the course in creative movement by Vesna Geršak. In lectures, I was impressed by the spontaneity and method of work. I found it interesting to discover this method and incorporate it into lessons. I noticed that the creative movement is a dynamic and active way of teaching. It includes a positive component of socialization, education and social contacts. Precisely because of that it contributes to a greater variety of teaching and remembering. I explored the use of the creative movement method in teaching all subjects at all stages in the second grade of elementary school. The theoretical part includes definitions of movement, creativity and creative movement method, as an integrated method of teaching in primary schools. Through these concepts, I came to introduce creative movement in the teaching and learning through movement. The empirical part is divided into two parts. At the beginning I included creative-motor activities of creative movement in terms of learning objectives from the curriculum for each school subject separately. This confirmed that teaching with the creative movement method is possible for all school subjects in the second grade of elementary school. In the second part of the empirical part I presented an action research on teaching through creative movement in the second grade of elementary school. The method of teaching creative movement was focused on all school subjects and the possibility of integration in different parts of the lesson. The following table presents the activity used in teaching certain topic and analysis of observations. I identified and confirmed my research questions. I investigated, if creative movement can be used in each subject in the second grade of primary school. Next, I researched how and in which part of the lesson creative movement can be included in second class , and what effects and responses can thus be achieved in pupils. By testing the creative movement method, I found that the creative movement is a quite unknown method of teaching. Students accept it, but not immediately. If you include it in a longer period of time, they become interesting. Only then the students come to the right effects and responses. Above all, it helps to improve social contact and show the interpersonal relations within the class. Creative movement brings both dynamics, relaxation, creativity and serenity into the class
