Sažetak
Leisure time as a phenomenon of the modern age enables students to choose the activities with which they will fill it. Different ways of spending leisure time have different effects on the overall development of children. Hence the importance of quality leisure time as well as the choice of activities that children will attend. Chosen activities enable rest and leisure, but they also have other much more important functions related to creativity and personal development. School as an educational institution should offer students various opportunities to spend their leisure time, which should be thoughtfully planned through the school curriculum from an early age. An analysis of primary school curricula reveals a large number of extracurricular and other activities offered to students. Especially important are artistic activities which, from the earliest school age, have the purpose of encouraging the development of various fields of artistic creation. When planning artistic activities, it is essential to offer the widest possibilities of encouraging dance, music, fine and performing arts, as well as literature and new media, guided by an interdisciplinary approach. Aiming to analyze artistic activities as a form of spending leisure time in primary school students, we conducted empirical research using an anonymous survey among primary school teachers in Split-Dalmatia County and Dubrovnik-Neretva County. In addition to indicating the possibilities of spending leisure time through various artistic activities in class teaching, the research results also show self-assessments of teacher competence to encourage students’ artistic creativity. Moreover, the differences in the obtained results were determined with regard to school size according to the number of students.
