Abstract

Objectives This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of mock classroom demonstrations linked to extracurricular programs for pre-service early childhood teachers, focusing on major satisfaction, teaching skills, music teaching self-efficacy, and pedagogical content knowledge. Methods For this purpose, a study was conducted with 42 students (experimental group) from University A and 38 students (comparison group) from University B, both located in the Chungcheong region, who were enrolled in an early childhood music education course. Normality and trends were examined using SPSS 23.0, and the effectiveness was analyzed using independent samples t-tests and paired samples t-tests. Results The main findings are as follows: Firstly, the experimental group demonstrated an improvement in post-test mean scores compared to their pre-test scores. In the comparison group, although some sub-factors showed improvement in post-test mean scores compared to pre-test scores, most scores decreased. Normality was confirmed, and homogeneity between the experimental and comparison groups was established. Secondly, the pre-test and post-test comparison within the experimental group indicated that post-test mean scores were significantly higher than pre-test mean scores across all factors. Conversely, the comparison group did not show statistically significant differences between pre-test and post-test scores. Comparison between the experimental and comparison groups revealed that the experimental group achieved significantly higher scores than the comparison group. Conclusions The study results verified the effectiveness of integrating extracurricular programs into field-linked classes to enhance the overall understanding of majors among incoming students. Accordingly, the study aims to propose activation strategies for theoretical and practical courses through a tailored approach to integrating extracurricular programs.
