ATTITUDES OF PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHER TOWARDS THE FINE ARTS SUBJECT

Diplomsko delo obravnava odnos učiteljev razrednega pouka do predmeta likovna umetnost. V teoretičnem delu smo opredelili predmet likovna umetnost in opisali njegov pomen v osnovni šoli. Osvetlili smo razvoj predmeta likovna umetnost v evropskem prostoru ter podrobneje razvoj tega predmeta na Slovenskem. V nadaljevanju smo raziskovali, kako je izobraževanje razrednih učiteljev potekalo v preteklosti in kako se bodoči učitelji izobražujejo zdaj. V diplomsko delo smo vključili tudi raziskavo, ki opisuje profile učiteljev likovne umetnosti. Cilj diplomske naloge je spoznati, kakšen je odnos učiteljev razrednega pouka do likovne umetnosti, kako se je ta odnos spreminjal skozi leta njihovega šolanja ter profesionalne poti. Učitelje smo tudi povprašali, kakšno je njihovo počutje ob poučevanju ter katero področje likovne umetnosti imajo najraje. V raziskavi je sodelovalo 8 učiteljic, ki so bile intervjuvane, pogovor smo tudi posneli. Naredili smo transkripcijo ter podatke analizirali. Ugotovili smo, da ima večina učiteljic dober odnos do likovne umetnosti ter do poučevanja, vendar pa opažajo nekaj pomanjkljivosti glede izobraževanja učiteljev tako v preteklosti kot v sedanjosti.The present thesis discusses a relation between primary school teachers and the subject of the visual arts.
