Correlation of Art classes with other elementary school education classes within the integrated day

Abstract

Integriranim poučavanjem potrebno je potaknuti učeničku motiviranost, želju za radom i istraživanjem. Likovna kultura, kao jedan od predmeta u nastavi, utječe na razvoj dječje mašte i kreativnosti. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrditi na koji način korelirati Likovnu kulturu s ostalim predmetima razredne nastave u okviru integriranog dana, što učitelji misle o korelaciji Likovne kulture s ostalim predmetima, no i njihovo mišljenje o integriranom poučavanju. Također, istraživanjem se htjelo utvrditi što učenici misle o integriranom poučavanju i likovnoj aktivnosti kao dijelu integriranog dana. Istraživanje je provedeno u Osnovnoj školi ˝Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić˝ Slavonski Brod. Uzorak čini 50 učitelja iz cijele Hrvatske te 83 učenika prvog, drugog, trećeg i četvrtog razreda. Nakon održanih integriranih dana, provedena je analiza učeničkih anketa i likovnih radova. U anketama je potvrđen pozitivan stav učitelja prema korelaciji Likovne kulture s ostalim predmetima, ali i integriranom poučavanju. Također, potvrđen je i pozitivan stav učenika prema likovnoj aktivnosti, ali i sveukupnom integriranom danu.Integrated teaching is necessary for developing pupil's motivation, interest in work and research.
