| Abstract [eng] |
In this work theoretical analysis of possibilities to improve skills of artistic expression qualifying teachers is presented. Working with students of different age groups showing possible ways of expressing themselves and improving skills of artistic expression is very important. To improve skills of artistic expression is the main goals set for the qualification course. It enables young people to create positive atmosphere and cultural environment in reality, and prevents them from being only consumers. Improvement of artistic skills is assumed to be the major goal when developing any personality. This aim could be achieved by appealing to students' skills of sociocultural expression. Therefore development of sociocultural skills is relevant while preparing teachers for their future job. The questionnaire has been prepared and the research has been done to educe possibilities for improving skills of artistic expression during the teachers' qualification course. Different ways of artistic expression has been observed. 183 students of Siauliai university and 60 teachers currently working in Siauliai schools have answered the questions given and participated in the research. The empirical part of the paper determines how skills of artistic expression effect professional development of a teacher. The most important implications of the research done are: 1. Students, who participated in different extra curriculum activities and clubs at school, tend to join clubs and art groups at university. They usually are active participants in the city cultural events, concerts, exhibitions, etc. 2. Both groups (students and teachers) declare that they participate in art groups, clubs, etc. to satisfy need for meaningful leisure time spending; they tend to choose doing things they like personally, which shows the importance of self-expression of a person. 3. The analysis of possibilities to improve skills of artistic expression qualifying teachers has shown that individual approach to the problem is essential. Work environment is vital when dealing with improvement of such skills. The further analysis seems to be prospective. |
