특수교육 기본 교육과정 변천에 따른 시기별 음악 교육과정의 내용 및 초등학교 음악 교과서 분석

Abstract

Objectives This study aims to analyze the changes in the content of music education from the first curriculum of special education to the latest curriculum and provide the characteristics and implications of music textbooks by each period.
 Methods The analysis of music curriculums was focused on the composition of curriculum documents and the changes in content; 11 music textbooks were analyzed from the perspectives of “music area and activity,” and “musical concept and element.” For music area and activity, the ratios of music area and activity type were ana-lyzed, and for musical concept and element, learning content and the grade hierarchy of learning content were analyzed.
 Results The content and content composition of music curriculums have been organized the same as those of the general curriculums since the 2011 curriculum. Music element was suggested with a focus on “sound” in the 2008 and 2011 curriculums, but it was mostly replaced with musical terms in the 2015 and 2022 curriculums. First, in the textbook analysis for the ratio of music areas, the area of “appreciation” was the highest in the 2008 and 2011 music textbooks and the area of “singing” was the highest in 2015 music textbook. When it comes to the ratio of activity types, the activity related to “sound” was the highest across the areas of singing, instrument, and appreciation in the 2008 music textbook. In the 2011 and 2015 music textbooks, activity related to “musical concept and element” was the highest. In the area of creation, two activities, “making sounds” and “changing lyrics,” were most frequently observed. In the area of daily life, the activity of “play” was the highest across all the textbooks. Second, the results of analyzing the musical concept and element showed that the level of the 2008 music textbook was similar to the lower grades of other textbooks, and the 2011 and 2015 music textbooks had a similar level of learning contents on “rhythm, form, tempo, and dynamic”. On the other hand, in terms of “melody” and “timbre,” association and hierarchy between grades had no distinct differences, and “harmony” was not sug-gested in most of the textbooks. In activities related to the characteristics of sound, instructional errors were found in the association with musical concepts.
 Conclusions The scope and level of music education content in special schools need to be improved; simulta-neously, research on systematic teaching and learning is required. This study explored the trend in music cur-riculums and the results of analyzing music textbooks. The findings are expected to provide useful basic data for developing the music curriculum of special education and for writing elementary school music textbooks. Further research should be conducted based on this study.
