Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the degree to which the 28 competencies presented by ‘OECD Education 2030’ are reflected in the 2022 revised Music Middle School Curriculum document. The study found that 14 competencies were highly reflected: Literacy, ICT/Digital literacy, Cooperation/Collaboration, Critical thinking, Problem solving, Self—regulation/Self-control, Empathy, Respect, Learning to learn, Student Agency, Co-Agency, Anticipation, Action, and Reflection. Second, there were 7 competencies that were less reflective: Numeracy, Data literacy, Persistence/Resilience, Trust, Computational thinking/Programming/Coding, Financial literacy, and Entrepreneurship. In conclusion, the study found that the 2022 revised Music Curriculum has a fairly high overall alignment with the OECD competencies. Second, the study confirmed that ’music’ is an appropriate subject for the development of a number of competencies. Third, the study suggested a change in perception on the reflection and adjustment of OECD competencies in Music Curriculum document, and further research on how to improve the understanding of competencies related to Music Education.
