Review on the monograph„Interpretation of the artwork in pre-school education“ (Ivana Rochovská et al.) Ružomberok 2021, s. 423, VERBUM ISBN 978-80-561-0889-5

Abstract

The monograph was published as a result of a national project funded by the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic. The focus of the work is on early childhood education and the integration of the arts. The authors primarily examine the pedagogical perspective on the role of the arts (visual arts, music, literature, and drama) and their incorporation into educational practice, with an emphasis on the interpretation of artworks suitable for young children. They address the reception and perception of art in pre-school education, as well as the positive influence of the arts on the development of the child’s personality. This interdisciplinary subject matter is particularly relevant and essential in the context of contemporary educational needs.
