PLANNING SPATIAL (ARCHITECTURAL) DESIGN TASKS IN ART EDUCATION

The objective of the respective research was to determine what type of art tasks pertaining to spatial design were being planned by class teachers of art in the first five grades of elementary school and whether there were any statistically representative differences between the responses of teachers depending on their level of education (vocational college or university) and level of teaching. We obtained the data by means of a questionnaire. The sample initially comprised 120 classroom teachers, yet the results of the first open-type question excluded 38 teachers from further analysis. The final results of the research proved that over a third of class teachers have some difficulties distinguishing between different art fields. Teachers frequently offer their students materials which are difficult to work with but only rarely decide on more appropriate materials. The research flirt her showed that there were no statistically representative differences pertaining to the degree of teacher education which is very worrying from the point of view of class teacher education.
