Abstract

The purpose of this study is to compare and review the characteristics of the 2015 and 2022 revised music curriculum, analyze the contents of Korean traditional music instruction in eight elementary music textbooks in the 3rd and 6th grades reflecting the 2015 revised music curriculum, and propose a direction for writing Korean traditional music textbooks based on the 2022 revised music curriculum. The results of the study are summarized as follows. First, the content system of the 2015 revised music curriculum consisted of three areas: expression, appreciation, and daily life, and the expression area was mainly composed of singing, performing, and creative activities. Focusing on the explicit and independent form of Korean traditional music instruction in elementary music textbooks, it was classified and reviewed into factors such as the number of units(sanction songs) for each area, sub-areas according to the activity content, the number of programming pages, the time difference, and the organization rate. As a result, the contents of Korean traditional music instruction in 8 types of elementary music textbooks were, on average, linked to activities in 8 to 9 units(sanction songs) in the expression area and various sub-areas, a total of 16 to 20 pages, a total of 16 to 20 sessions, around 25%; linked activities in 2 to 3 units(sanction songs) in the appreciation area and various sub-areas, a total of 5 sessions, around 7%; linked activities in one unit(sanction songs) in the daily life area and several sub-areas, a total of 1 to 2 pages, a total of 1st sessions, less than 1 to 5%. On the other hand, it was found that within the same textbook, the organization rate by area showed a rather large variation by grade group. Second, the 2022 revised music curriculum was designed in three areas: performance, appreciation, and creation, unlike the previous curriculum. Accordingly, the direction of organizing the Korean traditional music instruction contents of elementary music textbooks to be developed in the future should be linked to the expansion of performance activities centered on differentiated singing and instrumental music, the presentation of continuous appreciation activities, and the implementation of reinforcement of differentiated and independent creative activities. In addition, based on explicit and independent units, the 2022 revised elementary music textbook Korean traditional music instruction content should be at least 27 sessions and at least 40% of the organization rate in all music textbooks. Specifically, six to eight units(sanctioned songs) in the performance(singular and instrumental music) area, a total of 15 sessions or more, 22% or more; two to three units in the appreciation area, a total of six sessions or more, 9% or more in the organization rate; two to three units in the creative area, a total of six sessions or more; a ratio of 3:1:1 in the three areas of performance, appreciation and creation; It is suggested that the organization rate be arranged in a balanced manner so that the deviation of the organization rate by area is not too large by grade group. However, it should be noted that the number of units(sanction songs) can be added or subtracted depending on the autonomy of the publisher's writers, and various activities such as body expression and play should be designed to be integrated with the main area's activities. The total organization rate increases further because the contents of Korean traditional music are integrated and organized through Western music, multicultural music, concerts, and unit arrangements.
