Listening to music through play in Music Culture classes at primary level of education

Tema ovog rada je slušanje glazbe kroz igru u nastavi Glazbene kulture na primarnom stupnju obrazovanja. Istraživanje je provedeno tijekom mjeseca ožujka školske godine 2022./23. u OŠ „Antun Mihanović“ u Slavonskom Brodu u jednom drugom razredu. Cilj istraživanja bio je ispitati reakcije učenika na glazbene igre uz slušanje glazbe te utvrditi koje su im glazbene igre najdraže. U svakom terminu provodile su se po dvije glazbene igre. Provedene glazbene igre su: Orkestar, Ples u četvorci, Ples s balonima, Ples s vrpcama, Glazbene stolice, Dirigenti, Sviranje klavira, Vlakić, Dan – noć i Ledena kraljica. Nakon svake igre učenici su ispunjavali upitnike kroz koje su izražavali svoje dojmove o igri (procjenjujući koliko im se igra svidjela, što im se svidjelo, a što ne). Ukupno je sudjelovalo 25 učenika, od toga 12 dječaka i 13 djevojčica. Osim anketiranja, korišten je refleksivni dnevnik za bilježenje interakcija i emocija učenika tijekom glazbenih igara. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da je učenicima najdraža glazbena igra Glazbene stolice.The theme of this paper is integrating music through games in the curriculum of Music Education at the primary education level.
