Promuzyczne zachowania młodzieży w okresie dorastania i ich uwarunkowania

Abstract

The educational values of music provide ample opportunity for pedagogical activities aimed at the young person’s harmonious development. People started finally to realise how great that potential could be, and experimental research has been undertaken with the purpose of educating active members of the musical audience, who would be creators and lovers of art. The identification of the nature of young people’s interests in music made it possible to describe the conditions for the development of such interests and to put forward a new educational model of music as a school subject. Musical education, enriched with knowledge about elements of the regional culture, created in young people a need for active contacts with art and music in their various forms. Such impulses at the time of adolescence may bear fruit in the later, adult life. The purpose of the research was, on the one hand, to show the present situation as regards the musical education of young people, and, on the other hand, to indicate, on the basis of a diagnosis of the current state of affairs, the possibility of implementing alternative models of musical education. Such models should shape efficiently young people’s interests, so that they could, on the basis of the acquired musical information, and of the learned skills, create in young people a favourable disposition to music and musical life. The book is composed of four parts. The first is concerned with the researchers’ theories and positions with regard to various concepts of personality, it also shows the links between those theories and the psychological and pedagogical strategies shaping young people’s attitudes towards music in the period of adolescence. The second part contains a survey of theoretical concepts concerning the role of music in education, and it presents various educational theories of musical education based on the assumptions of the integrated musical education. The third part presents the results of the diagnostic research on the development of young people's musical interests, and on the influence of the school environment and other social environments on that development. A natural pedagogical experiment provided some important information on the way personal abilities help to generate the favourable disposition towards music in a given population. The fourth part is a presentation of the author’s own concept of a mode of musical education, described as ’’the model of a general musical and cultural education”.
