Creating timetables for primary school choirs

V magistrskem delu smo se osredotočili na problematiko oblikovanja urnikov za osnovnošolske pevske zbore. Zanimalo nas je, kakšno podporo zborovodjem nudijo njihovi sodelavci in vodstvo šole, kakšna je ustreznost urnika pevskih zborov, kje zborovodje vidijo rešitve za ustreznejši urnik pevskih vaj, kako so z njim zborovodje zadovoljni ter kako urnik po mnenju zborovodij vpliva na delovanje pevskega zbora. Poleg tega smo ugotavljali, ali prihaja do razlik med mnenji ravnateljev in zborovodij glede pogojev in ustreznosti urnika za delovanje pevskih zborov. Rezultate smo pridobili s pomočjo spletnega vprašalnika, na katerega je odgovorilo 71 zborovodij in 16 ravnateljev slovenskih osnovnih šol. Rezultati kažejo, da imajo zborovodje dovolj podpore pri njihovem delu z zborom s strani sodelavcev in s strani vodstva šole, ter da so ravnatelji mnenja, da je pevski zbor pomembna interesna dejavnost na šoli. Ugotovili smo, da ravnatelji menijo, da je urnik pevskih vaj OPZ in MPZ večinoma ustrezen ter da so po njihovem mnenju zborovodje z urnikom pevskih zborov zadovoljni. Pri tem se mnenje zborovodij glede zadovoljstva razlikuje od mnenja ravnateljev, saj z urnikom MPZ večinoma niso zadovoljni. Rezultati so nadalje pokazali, da po mnenju zborovodij ustreznost urnika vpliva na število učencev, ki sodelujejo v zboruna količino, hitrost in kvaliteto predelanega programa, ter na doseganje boljših rezultatov na tekmovanjih. Raziskava je prav tako pokazala, da po mnenju ravnateljev urnik omogoča sodelovanje vsem učencem, ki želijo sodelovati v pevskih zborih in da so po mnenju zborovodij pred nastopi potrebne dodatne vaje med poukom, ki jih ravnatelji tudi omogočijo.My master\u27s thesis focuses on the issue of creating timetables for primary school choirs. We were interested in the support given to the choirmasters by the colleagues and the school management, in the adequacy of the choir schedule, in the solutions for a more appropriate choir schedule, in the satisfaction of the choirmasters with it and how the time schedule affects the choir. In addition, we question whether there are differences between the opinions of the headmasters and the choirmasters regarding the conditions and adequacy of the choir time schedules. The results were obtained with the help of an online questionnaire, answered by 71 choirmasters and 16 headmasters. The results show that the choirmasters have enough support from the staff and from the school management. The headmasters address that the choir is an important extracurricular activity at school. Moreover, they believe that the schedule of singing rehearsals of the Children’s and Youth choirs are quite appropriate and that the choirmasters are satisfied with the choir schedule. The opinion of the choirmasters regarding schedule satisfaction, however, differs from the opinion of the headmasters, as they are mostly unsatisfied with the Youth choir time schedule. The results also show that the adequacy of the schedule greatly affects the number of students participating in the choir. The time schedule affects the quantity, pace, quality of the program and the results in competitions. In addition to that, the headmasters believe that the time schedule allows the participation of all students that want to attend the choir. With the questionnaire it was also proved that, according to the choirmasters, additional rehearsals are needed before performances, which are in most cases made possible
