The dissertation entitled Comparison of different standpoints between students and teachers of preschool education regarding interaction of sculptural and drawing development in a preschool child aged 3–4 years consists of theoretical and empirical part. In this dissertation the organization of preschool educational system and the role and importance of expression was introduced, furthermore phases of drawing and sculpting were thoroughly defined. The focus was on the individual drawing and sculptural materials that are nowadays available to the teachers of preschool education to engage in activities with children. In the theoretical part it is explained how do experiences from kindergarten influence art development of a child and with that related evaluation of children’s works of art.
In the empirical part I was interested in the standpoints of employed preschool teachers and their younger colleagues, i.e. students of preschool education. More specifically, I was interested in the standpoints regarding connection between sculpting and drawing activities and the development of drawing and sculpting abilities in a child aged 3–4 years. Furthermore, I also asked them for their opinions on motivation or perseverance of children aged 3–4 in creative activities and on the types and frequency of use of various drawing and sculptural material, etc. In the research, I was interested in the extent to which the views of students and teachers of preschool education are similar and how they differ.
I analysed the results obtained with the help of a survey questionnaire. I used quantitative analysis for closed-ended questions and qualitative analysis for open-ended questions. By collecting and processing data, I thus answered all my research questions that I asked myself before writing my dissertation.
