Abstract

The main research problem in this graduation thesis is the amount of teacher’s knowledge of term kitsch in visual art. The research is based on 1 – 4 grades of elementary school. This graduation work is divided into two parts. The first part is based on generally meaning of term kitsch, on its beginning and art’s areas which term contains. The second part contains whole research review which aim was to determine the amount of teacher’s kitsch knowledge. Research had set four hypotheses and it is carried out with surveys based on a sample consisting of 193 teachers of elementary schools from these counties: Splitskodalmatinska, Dubrovačko-neretvanska, Šibensko-kninska and Zagrebačka. Hypothesis which claims that the primary education teachers do not have enough knowledge of term kitsch and that they don’t know to recognize it in student’s work is affirmed.
