The paper focuses on mastering vocal technique, vocal performance of music (including vocal reproduction and interpretation), and the development of the vocal apparatus in elementary school children, who are expected to master it at that age. Accordingly, the aim of the paper is to point out the functional necessity of the preparatory phase for vocal reproduction, i.e., singing. This phase involves the proper implementation of breathing and voice exercises, since the adequate preparation of children’s vocal apparatus depends on it. The voice preparation phase is a mandatory segment that precedes the performance of nursery rhymes and musical dances with singing in teaching music. Special attention is paid to the methods of visual presentation of breathing and voice exercises in order to activate multiple senses, especially among first- and secondgrade students, their motivation and attention, and easier and more permanent memorization of vocal exercises. This will enable a faster associative transition to musical notation in the third and fourth grades of elementary school. Considering that early identification of individual vocal abilities of each child is a prerequisite for the proper development of the vocal apparatus, the adequate methodical articulation of breathing and voice exercises, continuous application, creative approach to their implementation within the framework of teaching music can contribute to increasing the level of vocal abilities of children. The analytical method was applied, while the methodological aspects and multifunctional possibilities of practical examples of breathing and voice exercises are presented descriptively. In order to foster the development of students’ vocal abilities and transform vocal practice into lasting knowledge and mastery of vocal technique, it is highlighted that the visual presentation of breathing and voice exercises has a strong impact in teaching music to the first- and second-grade students. From a methodological aspect, the early implementation of breathing and voice exercises creates a strong foundation and helps children develop their musical competencies and take part in different musical activities in subsequent grades. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z https://scidar.kg.ac.rs/handle/123456789/23200 Title: INTEGRISANI PRISTUP RAZVOJU GOVORA I POČETNIH MATEMATIČKIH POJMOVA KOD DECE PREDŠKOLSKOG UZRASTA Authors: Spasić, Jelena Lj.; Milikic, Milan Abstract: The paper addresses the integration of speech development and the development of initial mathematical concepts in preschool children. The aim of the paper is to provide insight into the possibilities of implementing integrated planned learning situations through working in pairs. The contribution of the paper lies in concrete, practicetested examples, carried out with students of the Preschool Teacher study program at the Faculty of Education in Jagodina during the 2024/2025 academic year. The paper presents examples of activities that enable children of different ages to develop their speech skills through specific tasks while simultaneously mastering various mathematical concepts. The specific aim of the paper is to contribute to the modernization of teaching in kindergarten through integration and the achievement of multiple child well-being goals.

Although the results of the previous research studies on this topic show numerous positive effects of new technologies on the educational process, their implementation is still progressing slowly. The authors note that one of the leading problems regarding the implementation of new technologies in teaching are the teachers’ attitudes towards these technologies and their (in)competence to use them in educational purposes. For this reason, this paper presents research conducted on a sample of 104 primary school teachers from the Republic of Serbia. The primary goal of the research was to investigate teachers’ perceptions of using virtual and augmented reality technologies in visual art education. The results show that a large percentage of teachers are familiar with VR and AR technologies, while only a small number use them frequently for both personal and educational purposes. Additionally, the majority of teachers recognize the potential and positive effects of using VR and AR technologies in visual art education, such as improving the quality of the educational process, fostering creativity development and increasing student motivation. According to these results, it is necessary to consider the possibilities of organizing training for teachers to expand their knowledge, provide support and encourage the implementation of virtual and augmented reality technologies in the educational process. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z
