해외사례분석을 통한 선택중심 음악과 교육과정 탐색

Abstract

The foundational curriculum of school education in Korea is currently being revised, and the biggest issue in secondary education is the high school credit system that emphasizes the elective-centered curriculum. There is no exception to this interest in the music department, and various studies are being conducted to establish the high school credit system. In this study, the focus is on the elective-centered curriculum that allows students to choose subjects based on their own interests and needs. In order for the elective-centered curriculum to be operated according to its purpose, it is necessary to examine various cases of elective-centered curricula and elective course operations provided by the music department and discuss possible next steps. Therefore, in this study, the transition of music and elective-centered curricula from the 7th curriculum up to the 2015 revised curriculum was examined, as well as the cases of music and elective-centered curricula and elective courses overseas (Canada, Singapore, and the United States). As a result, the following implications were drawn. First, the curriculum documents and materials should be provided in detail, and it is necessary to present the scope and objectives of the course according to the music department’s ideals. Second, career and vocational education should be implemented, and opportunities for various paths need to be provided through connections with universities. Third, considering students' musical interests and talents, it is necessary to provide a variety of intensive music programs for students to choose from. Fourth, the professional development of music teachers and institutional support at the national level to provide students with various intensive music programs should be considered.
