The role of teacher competencies in teaching music education in primary education

Tema ovog diplomskog rada je uloga kompetencija učitelja u poučavanju glazbene kulture u primarnom obrazovanju. Glavne kompetencije u poučavanju glazbe koje učitelj treba posjedovati su vještina lijepog pjevanja, sviranja instrumenta, vještina voĎenja slušanja te glazbeno stvaralaštvo. Od učitelja se očekuje zavidnu razinu navedenih kompetencija kako bi vlastito znanje i vještine prenio učenicima na nastavi Glazbene kulture. Temelji kompetencija se postavljaju na učiteljskom studiju te je od iznimne vaţnosti pozitivan odnos prema predmetu kako bi kompetencije rasle i razvijale se. Cilj istraţivačkog dijela rada je istraţiti smatraju li se učitelji razredne nastave dovoljno kompetentnima za poučavanje glazbene kulture u primarnom obrazovanju. Rezultati istraţivanja pokazuju da većina učitelja smatra da ima kompetencije potrebne za poučavanje glazbene kulture, ali unatoč tome, u nastavi ne koriste sve glazbene kompetencije.This graduate thesis explores the role of teacher competencies in teaching music education in primary education. The main competencies that a teacher should have are beautiful singing, playing an instrument, the skills of leading listening and musical creativity. Teachers are expected to have an enviable level of these competencies in order to transfer their own knowledge and skills to students in their music education classes. The foundations of competencies are set in teacher education. Also, a positive attitude towards the subject is extremely important in order to grow and develop the competencies. The aim of the research is to investigate whether primary school teachers consider themselves sufficiently competent to teach music in primary education. The results of the research show that the majority of teachers believe that they have the competencies needed to teach music, but despite this, they do not use all musical competencies in teaching
