| Abstract [eng] |
In order to ensure the adaptation of a person in the modern society, it is necessary to develop his/her competences, and first of all – his/her personal competence, which ensures self-cognition, communicative, cooperative skills as well as acting in a social environment, activity planning and other abilities. Informal musical education is the education of competences using acceptable to pupils, freely selected artistic activities including the satisfaction of self-expression needs, the education of a creative, able to communicate, self-confident and valuing an environment, full-fledged personality. Concert activities have a special meaning to the expression of vocal abilities and raising of a teenager’s self-confidence, the education of leadership characteristics. Having failed to realise appropriately the most relevant needs in the period of adolescence, it is possible to get undesired after-effects – a teenager’s low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, hostility to an environment, criminal behaviour, etc. Any scientific researches, which would analyse the interaction between personal competences and self-esteem educated during concert activities as well as leadership, were not found. School events and the peculiarities of the organising thereof, which made influence on pupils’ organisational skills, were the most usually analysed. Hence, it was decided that the present research could be relevant to the pedagogues of informal vocal education working with teenagers, preparing them for concert activities, pursuing the highest aims of education – to educate a conscious, mature, cultured, strong personality. The object of the research was the education of teenagers’ competence and self-esteem by informal musical-concert activities. The objective of the research was to ascertain the possibilities of the education of teenagers’ personal competence and self-esteem by informal musical-concert activities. The methods of the research: the theoretical analysis of literature sources, the questionnaire survey of teenagers attending informal educational institutions, informal education music teachers, the reflection in written of persons, who had attended previously but already have graduated informal musical education institutions. Data were processed applying the triangulation methodological principle (combining statistical methods inherent to a qualitative and quantitative research). The research revealed that the teenagers, who participated in informal musical education, educated their personal competence, raised their self-esteem and acquired leadership qualities during concert activities. The approach of the teachers and students of music informal education towards the possibilities of concert activities educating teenagers’ personal competencies and other features important to a young personality, forming a teenager’s personality coincided. |
