Analysis of How the Music Curriculum Can Contribute to the Implementation of Quality Education from a Cognitive Developmental Perspective

Abstract

As the demands on childrens quality development grow, music is gradually becoming a way of developing good morals. The purpose of this paper is to analyse how the music curriculum can contribute to the implementation of quality education from a cognitive developmental perspective based on existing literature and research results. With regard to music education, three aspects are analysed: humanistic, aesthetic and practical. Concerning cognitive development, it is analysed through four stages of cognitive development. The result shows that the music curriculum has largely improved the cognitive, intellectual and psychological abilities of students, and the application of cognitive development theory in education has improved teachers teaching methods, together contributing to the development of quality education. The application of theory in education has led to a steady shift in the educational paradigm towards a focus on individual differences and a greater student-centred approach. According to research, there is a direct correlation between musical quality and cognitive growth. The aesthetic foundation of the music curriculum is stressed, with a goal of encouraging qualitative growth. Teachers have a solid theoretical foundation to work from when they change lesson plans because of the theory of cognitive development.
