Sažetak
Kindergarten teachers need to possess certain competencies to conduct artistic activities in early childhood education, such as artistic sensibility, creativity and interest, but how often teachers actually conduct artistic activities also depends on the material conditions in kindergartens. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between material conditions in kindergartens and the implementation of musical and visual arts activities to encourage creativity in early childhood education. An anonymous questionnaire was administered to 137 early childhood and preschool teachers, who were enrolled in the Early Childhood and Preschool graduate program. The results revealed a moderate positive correlation between material conditions required for conducting music activities and how often the teachers conducted music and music-creative activities, as well as a moderate positive correlation between the material conditions required for conducting visual arts activities and how often the teachers conducted visual and visual- creative arts activities.
