Elementary school teachers’ attitudes towards the importance and use of teaching methods in visual arts educationTomljenović, Zlata (Avtor) learningteachinginteractive approachgeneric teaching methodssubject-specific teaching methodselementary school teachersteaching strategiesvisual artsThe quality of the teaching process in visual arts largely depends on a creative and effective combination of both general and subject-specific (visual arts) teaching methods. The aim of this study was to determine in- service teachers' perceptions of the features, specifics, importance and objectives of teaching methods in visual arts education, as well as their perception of the importance of visual arts as a school subject. The research was conducted on a sample of 373 Croatian elementary school teachers. A correlation was determined between the following variables: “teachers' work experience”, “teachers' perception of the importance of visual arts education” and the variable: “use of teaching methods in visual arts classes”. Findings have implications for modernizing and improving school practice; they also suggest further research in this area.20182018-05-14 09:03:30Članek v reviji70464ISSN: 1855-4431UDK: 37.091.3:7OceCobissID: 239555072COBISS_ID: 23815688DOI: 10.18690/1855-4431.11.1.1-18(2018)ISSN pri članku: 1855-4431NUK URN: URN:SI:UM:DK:BQQKRGFJsl
