The integrative approach in teaching students who will be primary school teachers in future

Abstract

Getting to know the integrative interactions is an important part of the students training. The awareness of it will help the students to master the necessary knowledge, skills and competencies for their application in the practice at school. The use of the integrative approach will diversify and enrich considerably their work as primary school teachers. The present paper considers the opportunities for cross curricular education by the use of integrative links between Musics and the subjects from the natural cycle. The students get knowledge about the opportunities to apply Musics in the practice with the school children in formation of knowledge bout the natural and social world. By using the integrative approach the education is realized in unity as a whole, and it is not isolated only within the range of a particular subject. The purpose is to acquaint the students with the integrative links which appear in the interaction between Musics and other subjects such as Environment, Homeland, People and Nature and the formation of skills for their putting into practice with the primary school students.
