| Description | Many teachers are aware of some problems concerning their voices as early as at the beginnings of their pedagogical activity, but do not pay due attention to them. A number of teachers do not also know how to work with voice and how to take care of it. In the first stage of the project, 65 respondents were questioned,all of them students of combined university studies who had already taken active part in the educational process.The following techniques were used: 1) The author's questionnaire directed towards the subjective perception of one's speaking and singing voice, the knowledge of voice hygiene, the sources of this knowledge and the voice load in extraprofessional activities. 2) The Voice Handicap Index (VHI) questionnaire worked out by Jacobson and her colleagues (1997), by means of which it is possible to establish the subjective evaluation of the quality of one's voice and of the impact one's voice has on socio-professional functions. At the same time all the respondents' voices were recorded so that objective changes of their voices could be monitored systematically (DSI). |
