A Study of Music Curriculum Design Strategies in the Context of Core Literacy——A Qualitative Study Based on Grounded Theory

Abstract

At the basic education level in China, curriculum design and local curriculum research have become the focus of attention in recent years and have shown diversified developments.In 2017, the Chinese Ministry of Education released the Outline on Curriculum Reform at the Basic Education Level, suggesting that the core aspect of curriculum reform is curriculum implementation. However, the main way of curriculum content implementation is the design strategy of the curriculum. For curriculum designers, there is a need to study the components that make up the curriculum. This paper constructs a strategy model for music curriculum design through rooted theory by coding and analyzing data from 20 literature, 35 music teaching videos, and 15 music teacher interviews on music curriculum design strategy research. The study found that music curriculum design strategies at the basic education level are multidimensional and comprehensive in nature. The design principles embodied in the students' own music practice ability, the external environment of music teaching and the philosophical and theoretical system of music education constitute the overarching role in the curriculum design process, the theoretical system of music core literacy and the analysis of the educated's learning situation are the basis of the music curriculum design, and attention is paid to the students' subjectivity, practice and the diversity of the curriculum content in the design process.
