Abstract

In order to identify the current problems in teaching music culture in the Novi Pazar region and find solutions to overcome them, and therefore to improve teaching, we conducted an empirical study on a sample of 100 teachers from the territory of Novi Pazar, Sjenica and Tutin. Comparative, descriptive and content analysis methods were used in the research. According to the problem and goal of the topic, as a relevant research technique we used a survey with a suitable research instrument - a questionnaire for teachers. The results of the research show that 57.4% of schools do not have an instrument with chordal accompaniment, and even 85.71% of them have instruments from Orff's instrumentarium, and that both, where they exist, are not always available to teachers. All schools have CD players and internet, but they are not always available to teachers either. A certain number of teachers (as many as 40%) are dissatisfied with the textbook sets for this subject, because they do not contain CDs with recorded music material. As many as 75% of the surveyed teachers believe that they possess sufficient musical and methodical competences in the field of teaching methods of musical culture, and only 25% of them need to strengthen their methodical competences in this field. As many as 77% of the investigated teachers point out that the pedagogue, and 80% of them that the counselor and counselor-counselor never visited their music culture classes. The results of the research also show that none of the examined teachers has ever attended a seminar or any other form of training in the field of musical culture teaching methodology. After the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the research results, conclusions were drawn and specific proposals were given for overcoming the existing problems.
