САЖЕТАК. У раду се говори о хорском певању као ваннаставној активности и виду васпитно-образовног рада у млађим разредима основне школе. Сагледан је историјски развој хорског певања да би се указало на континуитет његовог постојања и значаја у друштву, а потом је размотрен значај хорског певања у музичком и свестраном развоју ученика млађег школског узраста. Анализирани су наставни планови и програми од I до IV разреда да би се утврдило колико пажње се придаје хорском музицирању-заступљености, организацији, избору композиција и методичком приступу при савладавању хорских композиција. Истакнута је улога наставника у развијању љубави и интересовања ученика према хорском певању. Наведена је хорска литература којом би требало освежити и допунити наставне програме. Посебна пажња поклоњена је ли-1

Using of silage and haylage of forage legumes in ruminant nutrition and promotion of promoting proper forage conservation techniques should be an important strategy in livestock production in our country. Forage legumes are difficult to ensile, so it is necessary to apply the starter culture of selected strains of lactic acid bacteria that support the ensiling process and prevent bacterial butyric fermentation and thus contribute to the preservation and improvement of silage and haylage quality. In this paper, the influence of bacterial inoculant 'Silko for alfalfa' on the quality of silage and haylage of alfalfa in two separate trials is presented. The inoculant is a combination of homofermentative lactic bacteria Lactobacillus plantarum and Pediococcus spp. The first-cut alfalfa in the second year was used for silage and haylage. The silage was examined in mini-silos in the laboratory, and the haylage at the cattle farm where the plant material was cuts were collected in experimental silo bags. The treatments were control (untreated silage, i.e. haylage) and silage, i.e. haylage treated with inoculant 'Silko for alfalfa' (rate of 5 ml t-1 fresh material). The silages were analyzed after 90 days, and haylage after 40. The inoculant 'Silko for alfalfa' has been found to maintain the nutritive value of silage and haylage and to improve their chemical, energy and fermentation parameters relative to the control. Since 'Silko for alfalfa' positively affects the correct lactic acid fermentation of silage and haylage and contributes to a lesser loss of nutritional value and energy it is expected that it can promote a high level of productivity of ruminants, and thus contribute to the growth of profit in livestock production.

This paper discusses the role of traditional folk songs and dances in the development of intercultural communication among elementary school children. Since we live in a multicultural society, it is necessary to develop the awareness of young people regarding the need to nurture harmonious relations among nations. The paper outlines the results of the empirical research aimed at determining whether the eighth-grade students from Central Serbia and Kosovo and Metohija know which nations live in their region and what their traditional songs and dances are. The results of the survey show that most students know the nations living in their vicinity but do not know their traditional songs and dances. This indicates that this kind of information and teaching content were not recognized and used as a means of interethnic connection, getting familiar with and understanding other nations. Traditional songs and dances can be a significant factor of successful intercultural communication in elementary schools if teachers recognize and use their potential. Descriptive method as well as the analysis and synthesis were used in this paper. RESUMENEn este artículo se discute el papel de las canciones y danzas folclóricas tradicionales en el desarrollo de la comunicación intercultural entre los alumnos de la educación primaria. Dado que vivimos en una sociedad multicultural, es necesario desarrollar los conocimientos de los jóvenes sobre la necesidad de cultivar relaciones armoniosas entre las naciones. En este artículo se presentan los resultados de una investigación empírica cuyo objetivo era determinar si los estudiantes de 8º grado de la región central de Serbia, Kosovo y Metojia, conocen las distintas naciones que conviven en su región y sus canciones y danzas tradicionales. Los resultados de la encuesta muestran que la mayoría de los escolares conocen las distintas comunidades de su entorno, pero no ARTICLE HISTORY

This paper discusses the importance of traditional folk lullabies in the education of preschool children and their representation in music education literature and practice. Scientific research indicates the development potential and importance of folk lullabies in early childhood. Serbian folk lullabies are not sufficiently represented in preschool education in central Serbia and Kosovo and Metohija, which is the starting hypothesis of the research presented in this paper. This research aims to determine the extent to which Serbian folk lullabies, as music content, are used in preschool education in central Serbia and Kosovo, and Metohija. The research included a total of 692 participants – preschool teachers and parents. It was found: 1) that Serbian folk lullabies are insufficiently represented in music education literature for preschool age; 2) that preschool teachers and parents are not sufficiently informed about the educational benefit and importance of folk lullabies. The paper contributes to the actualization of Serbian traditional folk lullabies, and their greater representation in music education literature and practice. The descriptive method was used in the research, as well as the analysis and synthesis method.

This paper discusses the origin and development of the art of singing and its pedagogic benefits. Throughout the history of mankind, singing has always been important in human society, contributing to the spiritual and cultural development of people. In music pedagogy, singing is believed to be the content that unquestionably enables the musical and overall development of students. For that reason, it is necessary to permanently and in different ways motivate students to practice music in primary school. Therefore, the goal of this paper is to present the development of singing in a broader cultural and historical context, which in a certain way should allow students to become interested in singing and to get more acquainted with this type of musical expression. Getting more insight into the origin and development of singing requires establishing a correlation with other subjects (history, literature, arts, etc.), which will result in a more complete picture of this type of human expression, its importance throughout history, and contribute to developing students' motivation to participate in singing activity, as well as to get them to love and respect art in general. The theoretical analysis and synthesis methods were used when researching this issue.
