Sažetak
The paper explores the influence of years of work experience, professional qualifications, additional music education, engaging in musical activities in leisure time, and attending the theater / classical music concerts on the attitudes of preschool educators toward singing as a musical activity in kindergarten. The research was conducted on a sample of preschool educators from all Croatian counties (N = 405), using a questionnaire composed of two parts: The General Data Questionnaire and Attitudes Toward Singing as a Musical Activity in Kindergarten. No differences were found in preschool educators’ attitudes toward singing with regard to their professional qualifications and years of work experience. However, the results confirm the influence of additional music education, engaging in musical activities in leisure time, and attending the theater / classical music concerts on preschool educators’ attitudes toward singing as a musical activity in kindergarten. The obtained results have significant implications for music pedagogy, in terms of designing kindergarten musical activities, with special emphasis on singing.
