Sažetak
In developmental-process planning of visual art activities, which is framed by the idea of a competent and rich child, preschool teacher's primary role is careful observation, listening and collecting various documentation, which helps with understanding children's learning process. Continuous monitoring of children's activities, precise and systematic collection of documentation matter (using various documentation techniques), and its interpretation provide integral insight into the course of visual art-creative process and represent the inexhaustible source of ideas for further art activities planning. Documentation gives children another insight into what they've been doing and saying. It also gives them the opportunity for building new knowledge on the basis of critical review of their own work and communication with peers and adults. In this context, documentation is an important tool for informing the parents about children's development, interests and needs, and of preschool teachers' professional development. In the research, which included 207 preschool teachers, we aimed at examining the ways in which the preschool teachers monitor and document children's visual art activities. The results of the research involve the frequencies and ways of documenting the course of visual art-creative activities and children's visual art works. The research also aimed at determining the statistically significant difference between the preschool teachers in the frequency of documenting the course of visual art-creative activities, in view of their education degree and years of work experience.
