摘要:This article presents preschool teachers’ and assistant teachers’ opinionson the importance of selected fields of educational work in kindergartens.The article first highlights the importance of activities expressingartistic creativity within modern curriculums. Then, it presents an empiricalstudy that examines the preschool teachers’ and assistant teachers’opinions on the importance of the educational fields, art genres, andvisual arts fields. In research hypotheses, we presumed that preschoolteachers find individual educational fields, individual art genres, and individualvisual arts activities to be of different importance; consequently,education in kindergarten does not achieve the requisite holism. Thestudy is based on the descriptive and causal-non-experimental method.We have determined that the greatest importance is attributed to movementand language, followed by nature, society, art and mathematics.Within art genres, the greatest importance is attributed to visual arts andmusic and the least to audio-visual activities. Within visual arts, drawingand painting are considered to be the most important and sculpting theleast. These findings can support future studies and deliberation on thepossible effects on practice in terms of requisitely holistically plannedpreschool education.
