Abstract

Objectives The purposes of this study were to find out the effect of the competency-based performance assessment on musical emotion and communication competencies.
 Methods 89 middle school girls in Seoul were classified into a competency-based performance assessment group and a skill-based performance assessment group. They performed each performance assessment for 3 months. And then independent t-test and pre-post t-test were conducted to measure the improvement level of the musical emotion⋅communication competency. Finally, correlation analysis and simple regression analysis were conducted to find out the relationship between the post score of competency-based performance assessment and the musical emotion⋅communication competency.
 Results The total score of the competency-based performance assessment group was more than the total score of skill-based performance assessment group. It was .298 points higher. All sub-factors and most of questions of the competency-based performance assessment group were improved than before. On the other hand, the skill-based performance assessment group showed a slight improvement in the score of sub-factors and some questions. As a result of correlation and simple regression analysis, the competency-based performance assessment was found to be a factor influencing the appreciation and application factors of musical communication competency. On the other hand, the skill-based performance assessment was found to be a influencing factor of the understanding and musical knowledge factors that related to the cognitive aspects of musical emotion competency and communication competency.
 Conclusions The competency-based performance assessment was more effective than the skill-based performance assessment in improving the target competency. If competency-based performance assessment is carried out by real-life tasks, ability evaluation to apply and utilize knowledge and functions, affective domain evaluation, and process-focused evaluation, actual competency can be enhanced.
