Abstract

The present survey aims at exploring the views of the nursery school teachers of the Achaia Prefecture in relation to the use of Art in the education process. Their views were identified with regard to the content, the potential benefits and the form of a relative training action.

The results of the survey showed that the nursery teachers consider important the use of art in the education process and identified the fields where they think it has a positive contribution. In addition they demonstrated the difficulties associated with the relevant interventions and, finally, they described the characteristics and the content of a potential training related to the arts in education, which they wished to follow. https://doi.org/10.26803/ijlter.17.2.11
