Abstract
A musical work of art in music classes affects the development of age appropriate music aesthetic criteria, music taste and the acquisition of knowledge of particular music literature. A work of art also functions as a means for developing different elements of musical hearing such as sharpening hearing perception, practising hearing concentration, and learning basic music terminology, such as atmosphere, tempo, dynamics, musical form and different music performers. At the moment of listening to and experiencing music in class, music is considered a work of art, but when its elements are discussed and analysed, the work of art becomes the means of learning about music. As the outcomes of learning need to be evaluated, musical work of art also becomes a means of evaluation. This research tries to establish whether there are differences in opinions among primary school teachers towards evaluation in music class regarding years of teaching experience and whether there are any differences in opinions among primary school teachers towards evaluation in music class regarding their level of education. The obtained results show that there is no statistically significant difference in opinions among primary education class teachers towards evaluation in general, nor according to the teachers’ level of education. The participants show preference for numerical evaluation, which in turn opens new questions related to the teachers’ musical competence in teaching practice and their permanent training in the field of school docimology.
