Sažetak
Creativity is an integral part of social practice. It represents the ability to add something new to the existing culture (Csikszentmihalyi, 1999). Previšić (1987) emphasizes that every person is a potential creator if there are fulfilled external conditions, as well as social encouragement and internal strength. Srića (1992) points out that creativity influences the spreading of life views and the multiplication of own abilities. Contemporary school is oriented toward the development of student’s creative potential. By encouraging students to be creative, they are able to perceive things and phenomena from another angle, to find different solutions, be innovative. Being capable of using ICT is considered as one of the most important competences for teaching (Reding, 2004) because it enables reaching educational outcomes in a simple way (Hlynka, 2003 ; Jacobsen, 2007). Therefore, contemporary teaching should imply a balance of traditional and new technologies together with a creative approach which will affect the modernization of music teaching. The intention of the authors is to explore in which way the students of music pedagogy can express their creative pedagogical ideas in teaching music. The students from the Music Academy in Pula, with the purpose to innovate and make music lessons more interesting, made four educational films which may be applied in the primary and secondary school by using ICT. The film My Homeland is intended for pupils of the fifth grade of the primary school during the introduction of Croatian folklore. The quiz The Weakest Link is conceived as a competition of four Baroque composers: J. S. Bach, G. F. Händel, A. Vivaldi and I. Lukačić. In a short documentary film about Johann Sebastian Bach a student shows Bach’s biographies and elaborates his music works. Win Patroness Over is a film about the piano competition between F. Chopin and F. Liszt. Having developed the didactic teaching aids for music classes at the primary and secondary school with the help of ICT, the university students demonstrated their creative skills, flexibility and openness, modernized the teaching process and made it more understandable and accessible to pupils in school.
