Uticaj nastave muzičke kulture na socijalno-emocionalni razvoj dece mlađeg školskog uzrasta

Abstract

The social-emotional development of young school-age children is, in different theoretical studies, often linked with different influences of music in its cultural, entertaining, educational, and other contexts. In the context of formal education, music is included in the education and development of children mostly through the organization and realization of musical culture instruction. Considering the numerous influences of music and musical culture, both on the life of a man seen from a general perspective, and on a child, it is significant and interesting to study the topic of the influence of musical culture instruction on the different segments of young school-age children development, considering the numerous specificities that come with this age, where the beginning of formal education could be the most important one. The main focus of the research conducted for the needs of the paper was to examine the existence of differences in the opinions of the parents of young school-age children, towards the role of musical culture instruction content on the social-emotional development of their children. The key results of this research indicate that the respondents have a mostly positive opinion towards different segments of music culture teaching in the context of their children's social-emotional development. Parents whose children are involved in extracurricular music activities have a more positive opinion about the impact of the content of music culture classes on the social-emotional development of their children compared to parents whose children do not attend extracurricular activities.
