Abstract

The article deals with the main pedagogical problems of performing arts competitions in the context of the humanistic paradigm of the forming artistic and pedagogical space. Different pedagogical situations determining the requirements for organizing and conducting contest programs are analyzed. Various pedagogical strategies of involving the younger generation in performance activities that ensure mass participation and provide children and adolescents with access to creative activities regardless of the level of their performing abilities are proposed. The article also pays special attention to the creation of a pedagogical environment that motivates children and adolescents to participate in contest performance; the organizational conditions of the competition that minimize the negative psychological effects on its participants are highlighted and further prospects for their improvement from the point of humanistic art pedagogy are outlined. The pedagogical problems considered in the article allow the authors to conclude on the need for greater use of the achievements of theater pedagogy in work with contestants, as well as for a thought-out differentiation of competition programs accounting for the composition of the participants and the nature of the pedagogical problems.

Summary

Introduction

There are currently two main approaches to conducting competitions among children and adolescents in various kinds of performing arts [1]. The first approach implies the preferential choice of the higher level of performing skills assuming a limited number of the competition winners and a significant rate of “elimination” of participants before the competition, during the competition, and at the end of it as not corresponding to the specified professional performance criteria. This type of competition includes the L.A. Brooke International Children’s Piano Duo Competition “Brother and Sister” and the Children’s and Youth Choral World Championships
