Abstract:
In this article, a current problem related to the quality of the educational process is addressed, which can be optimized by capitalizing ART-pedagogy – modern direction of pedagogical science, which studies the legitimacy, mechanisms, principles, rules of including the means of art in the educational context. ART-pedagogy has the potential to facilitate the formation-development process of fine arts and poetic artistic predispositions/ skills through music, offering conditions for perceiving the world from a new and original perspective. Thus, music education lessons should be carried out in an integrated way with other subjects, such as visual arts and the Romanian language and literature. By implementing ART-pedagogy in the musical educational process, teachers will be able to create optimal conditions at lessons for forming and developing the students’ deep perception of the universe, the need to acquire spiritual values, to develop their skills to understand the finest aspects of art as a whole and, finally, to form-develop their harmonious personality. To achieve these objectives, some of the methods specific to music education, both attested and original, are suggested and proposed in this article. Thanks to the increased potential of ART-pedagogy from the perspective of forming and developing the general artistic culture of students, personal development, increasing school performance, facilitating the act of communication between the teaching staff and the student through art, its utilization in the educational process leads to optimizing its quality.
