Šiulaikinei viuomenei tampant informacine ar žinių visuomene, žinios įgauna vis svarbesnę vietą žmonių gyvenime. Informacinė visuomenė – tai atvira naujovėms, išsilavinusi ir trokštanti tobulėti, nuolat besimokanti visuomenė. Informacinių technologijų plitimas tampa neatsiejama dalimi ugdymo procese. Pastebime, kad mokyklose sparčiai daugėja IKT priemonių, todėl galime teigti, kad šis pokytis atveria plačias ugdymo proceso galimybes. IKT diegimo Lietuvos švietime strategija siekia integruoti informacinės kultūros ugdymą į visą bendrojo lavinimo mokyklos ugdymo procesą, skatinti inovatyvių mokymosi formų ir metodų diegimą. Pradinių klasių mokiniai prieš ateidami į mokyklą jau yra įgyję elementarių techninių įgūdžių.Todėl IKT integravimas pradinėse klasėse taip pat yra neišvengiamas. Mūsų temai aktualu IKT naudojimas gimtosios kalbos pamokose pradinėse klasėse. IKT integravimas pamokose padeda mokiniams įsisavinti lietuvių kalbos žinias, formuoja techninius įgūdžius ir gerina mokymosi rezultatus. Tai mus paskatino atlikti tyrimą. / Modern society becoming informational or knowledge seeking society, knowledge gets more and more important part in our lives. Informational society – it’s society that is open for innovation, educated and eager to improve, always learning society. Spread of informational technologies is becoming more important part in education process. We can notice that schools are getting more and more ICT devices, so we can state that these changes are opening wide opportunities for educational progress. The strategy of installing ICT in Lithuanians education is to combine informational culture progress and general education progress, that should motivate innovative form of learning. Elementary school student before coming to school usually already has basic set of technical skills, so using of ICT in elementary school is inevitable. It’s relevant to our subject that ICT should be used in birth language classes in elementary school. Using ICT in classes helps students to get basic knowledge of Lithuanian language, creates technical skills and upgrades results of learning. That led us to this research.

Vadinasi, problema aktuali, sudėtinga, daugiaprasmė ir stokojanti išsamesnio problemos tyrimo. Todėl yra svarbu pažvelgti plačiau į dorinio ugdymo kokybės aspektus bei sugretinus mokytojų, moksleivių, ir tėvų požiūrius, nustatyti ar vienodi yra dorinio ugdymo kokybės kriterijai. / There are big works already done and still to be done through the past ten years in practical range of Moral Training: renewed Moral Training programmes, textbooks and teachers are being prepared, seminars are organized, but situation is still not improved and does not meet public expectations. We can say that problem is relevant, complicated and versatile and there is a lack of comprehensive research of the problem. It is important to review aspects of Moral Education quality more widely and find out if criteria of Moral Education quality are the same in teachers’, pupils’ and parents’ opinion.

Problema. Nemažai pedagogų neskiria pakankamai dėmesio visų reikiamų vaikui kompetencijų ugdymui ir kartu su šeima neieško naujų kompetencijų ugdymo galimybių. Darbo tikslas - nustatyti šeimos ir pedagogo bendradarbiavimo reikšmę, ugdant vaikų kompetencijas. Tyrimo objektas pedagogo ir šeimos bendradarbiavimas, ugdant ikimokyklinio amžiaus vaikų kompetencijas. Tyrimo įgyvendinimui buvo pasirinkta kiekybinių tyrimų metodologija.

Ethnic culture – an important part of common and musical culture. Ethnic, musical culture is a presumption of national individuality, not vanishing value, raising and maintaining humanity, transferring cumulative experience. Ethnics raising, in a process of playing with kanklės, should be effective, should be used practically and must close children to ethnic musical culture more and more. The theory and practice of pedagogy did not research the role of Lithuanian folksong much; there is not much common information about the importance of Lithuanian ethnic culture, which helps to develop children’s national identity, so we hope to forward a development of spiritual and educative personality in this work. The aim of this work is to examine the possibilities of pedagogic effect during the kanklės lesson by developing nationally conscious personality. The object of the work – the development of personality ethnic through kanklės. The hypothesis of the work – the development of personality ethnic becomes more effective when you put more Lithuanian folk plays into teaching repertoire and give lack of information on ethnic culture during the process of kanklės teaching.

During the pedagogical experiment in Alytus music school were formed and examined experimental and auditorial children groups from kanklės class.

Santrauka Magistro darbe nagrinėjamos naujos pianistų ugdymo paradigmos galimybės. Nustatyta, kad iš visų šiandieninę vaikų muzikos mokyklą baigusių mokinių tik 5% renkasi tolesnį būsimo muziko profesionalo kelią – pratęsia mokslus formalaus muzikinio ugdymo įstaigose (konservatorijose, menų mokyklose, LMTA). Taigi 95% moksleivių, neketinančių muzikos mokslus pratęsti toliau, yra taikomi nedidelio procento ugdytinių poreikius atitinkantys ugdymo metodai –- aukšti, profesionaliam ugdymui reikalingi mokymosi standartai. Tokie kontrastingi šiuolaikinėse muzikinio, taip pat ir fortepijono mokymo procentiniai rodikliai įrodo akivaizdų nuostatų diferencijavimo stygių. Šiame darbe modeliuojamas skirtingo ugdymosi alternatyvų vaikų muzikos mokyklų fortepijono skyriuose radimasis – naujas, įvairius moksleivių ugdymosi tikslus ir galimybes atspindintis reiškinys. Empirinio tyrimo, atlikto vaikų muzikos mokyklose, tikslas – nustatyti mokymo/si skambinti fortepijonu muzikos mokyklose ypatumus. Tyrimo objektas – mokymas/is skambinti fortepijonu muzikos mokyklose. Tyrimo metu atlikti šie uždaviniai: mokytojų anketine apklausa išsiaiškinta, kaip vaikai mokomi skambinti fortepijonu, nustatytas mokytojų požiūris į diferencijuoto ugdymosi radimąsi ir galimus tokio mokymo kriterijus fortepijono skyriuje. Anketine apklausa ištirtas mokinių požiūris į fortepijono mokymą/si. Tyrimo metodas – anketinė apklausa, interviu. Apklausti 64 fortepijono specialybės mokytojai ir 90 fortepijono specialybės...

The conducted research has shown that only 5 % of all contemporary music school graduates choose to be professional musicians by studying at schools of formal music education (conservatoires, art schools, LAMT). Therefore, teaching methods (high teaching standards necessary for professional education) corresponding the needs to a small number of students are applied to 95 % of students who do not intend to continue their studies as professionals. A big contrast in percentage points to an evident lack of attitude differentiation in contemporary music and piano teaching issues. This work modulates different educational alternatives in children‘s music schools and piano departments; a new phenomenon, reflecting different students educational objectives and possibilities. The objective of empirical research conducted at children’s music schools was to identify the peculiarities of teaching/learning playing the piano at music schools. The object of the research is teaching and learning playing the piano at music schools. During the research the several tasks were accomplished; teachers‘ questionnaires pointed out how children are taught to play the piano, teachers‘ attitude towards differentiating education and possible criterion of such education at piano departments was determined.
