THE CONNECTION OF MUSICAL ACTIVITIES WITH EMOTIONAL AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT OF A PRE-SCHOOL CHILD

V diplomskem delu predstavljam povezanost glasbenih dejavnosti z emocialnim (čustvenim) in socialnim razvojem predšolskega otroka. V teoretičnem delu smo predstavili naslednje: vpliv glasbe na predšolskega otroka, emocialni (čustveni) in socialni razvoj v starostnem obdobju srednjega otroštva. Velika pozornost pa je bila namenjena tudi načrtovanju glasbenih dejavnosti v predšolski vzgoji, ciljem glasbene vzgoje ter področjem glasbenih dejavnosti v vrtcu. V empiričnem delu smo raziskali in podrobno razčlenili problem, katere glasbene dejavnosti se v vrtcu največkrat izvajajo. Rezultati raziskave so pokazali, da je to petje, igranje na instrumente ter poslušanje glasbe. Namen raziskave je bil tudi ugotoviti, katere oblike socialnega vedenja in katera čustvena stanja se največkrat pojavljajo pri izvajanju glasbenih dejavnosti. Ugotovili smo katere glasbene zvrsti vzgojiteljice največkrat predvajajo. Vse dobljene rezultate pa smo interpretirali s teoretičnimi postavkami ter tako prišli do ugotovitev, da je glasba močno povezana z otrokovim socialnim in emocialnim (čustvenim) razvojem, saj povečuje pozitivne dražljaje pri predšolskem otroku.In my diploma work I am presenting connection of musical activities with emotional and social development of a pre-school child. In theoretical part of my work we presented the following: the influence of music on a pre-school child as well as emotional and social development of a child in his middle pre-school age. A lot of attention was also paid to planning musical activities in pre-school education, to the aims of musical education and to different areas of musical activities in a kindergarten. In empiric part of this work we researched and analysed the problem of what music activities are mostly performed in kindergartens. The results of our research show that singing is mostly used. It is followed by playing instruments and listening to music. We also tried to find out what forms of social behaviour and what emotional states usually appear while performing musical activities. We found out what musical genres are most frequently presented by the governesses in kindergartens. All the results were interpreted by means of theoretical items. Our findings were that music is closely connected to the child\u27s social and emotional development because it increases positive stimulus on a pre-school child
