음악과 교육과정의 국악교육 실행에 관한 질적 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study with regard to the implementation of Korean classical music education in middle school music curriculum is to explore what music teachers think what and how to teach in Korean classical music education, and to analyze the implementation of how they teach Korean classical music in terms of objectives, contents, methods, and assessment. Also, this study is to examine what music teachers really teach in Korean classical music class vs. their thought about Korean classical music and to clarify what causes the differences. The results of the study were as follows. First, music teachers in middle school think that Korean classical music education has to be Korean classical music class with roots, Korean classical music class to enhance creativity, Korean classical music class with interaction and consideration, and Korean classical music class that values aesthetic activities. Second, as for how they implement Korean classical music class, they set technique-based objectives, and selected the contents which were not demanding and easily taught. The teaching method was teacher-centered and the assessment focused on scores only. Accordingly, the following findings are the differences between teachers’ thought and the real implementation. When it comes to objectives, they carried out technical objectives more than the class with roots. As for the contents, they chose the contents which were not demanding and easily taught rather than that of enhancing creativity. Their teaching method was one-way and teacher-centered without interaction and consideration. Moreover, the assessment focused on scores since it was only for the evaluation rather than aesthetic activities of Korean classical music. The reasons of the differences were lack of the instructional time, the problem of music curriculum, the insufficiency of substantive support and solutions for music teachers major in Korean classical music or non-major teachers, lack of professionalism, and the educational circumstances that had no choice but for the sake of technique-evaluation. For these differences and reasons, there are some implications for the improvement of Korean classical music education in middle school music curriculum.
