MUSIC AND FINE ARTS AS A FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING THE CULTURAL IDENTITY OF SCHOOLCHILDREN
Abstract
This paper begins with the complex role of education, evident in its dual impact: on the individual level—supporting the overall development of those involved in the educational process (intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and moral); and on the societal level—transmitting shared values that serve as general guidelines for life within that society and for strengthening cohesion among members. This paper explores the role of arts education in primary schools in the Republic of Serbia, in the context of shaping the students’ cultural identity, with a particular focus on the subjects of Music and Fine Arts. The aim of this research is to determine whether the learning objectives of these subjects are oriented towards fostering the cultural awareness and identity of younger generations. The paper sets out the following objectives: (1) to provide an overview of the international and national documents that represent the framework for the action of formal education in terms of the development of cultural identity; and (2) to examine educational standards and learning objectives for the Music and Fine Arts subjects, with a focus on how they contribute to the foundation of cultural identity.The descriptive-analytical method and the secondary analysis of the documents (legal and other documents) related to arts education and cultural identity were applied in this research. This research shows that education, viewed through the lens of subjects like Music and Fine Arts, plays an important role in shaping cultural identity and fostering cultural awareness among primary school students.
