Student Teachers’ Opinion Regarding Personal Competencies for Teaching the Music Culture Class in Primary Education

Teacher education studies are enrolled by the students who passed the state graduation exam and have diverse general education. Based on the analysis of the enrolled students in the past decade and their knowledge on basic music literacy, it can be concluded that there is a small number of students who were introduced to the fundamental musical literacy as well as any type of music performance. The aim of this work was to show the final-year student teachers' opinion regarding the gained knowledge and skills for the realization of the Music Culture subject content. The research sample comprises Faculties of Teacher Education from Croatia and Serbia (N=320). The results are somewhat showing that most of the students do not consider themselves trained enough to perform a to teach the content of the Music Culture class. The results could also be interpreted by insufficient general music education teaching hours in general education curriculum as well as insufficient hours of music class in the study programs of the teacher faculties. The mentioned points out to the need for lifelong teacher education in the field of music and the revision of study programs of teacher education faculties. It is also possible to think about the establishment of a music specialization studies for music training of primary education teachers so that future teachers could increase their music competencies for teaching the Music Culture subject content.
