ART TECHNIQUES USED BY TEACHER OF EARLY SCHOOL EDUCATION AS A FACTOR DETERMINING THE LEVEL OF HANDWRITING QUALITY OF FIRST GRADE STUDENTS

Abstract

In the context of a child’s intellectual, emotional and social development, writing skills (along with speaking) form the absolute basis. They allow the child to better interpret, but also to formulate concepts, feelings and thoughts, and thus to acquire key competences quicker. The more worrying are then reports showing low quality of writing of students at the initial stage of education. It is necessary to take actions aimed at developing motor skills using both conventional and unconventional methods. One of such options in integrated education are the art techniques. This study examines how the use of these techniques translates into better writing skills in early education.
