Preliminary Study on the Evaluation Methodologies of Junior High School Music Academic Performance

Abstract

The junior high school music academic entrance examination holds significant importance in the context of the new curriculum reform, serving as a pivotal instrument for implementing the "General Plan for Deepening the Reform of Educational Evaluation in the New Era" and the "Opinions on Comprehensively Strengthening and Improving School Aesthetic Education in the New Era," issued by the General Office of the State Council. As frontline educators, it is imperative to adeptly navigate the impending junior high school art subject entrance examination by acquiring evaluation knowledge and mastering scientifically sound assessment methods. Recognizing this urgency, the author secured approval for the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" project in Shaanxi Province in 2018, titled "Research on the Unified Music Examination Methods for Junior High School Graduation in Shaanxi Province." This research primarily delves into the grading criteria outlined in the "Music Curriculum Standards" for compulsory education, exploring the knowledge points, question types, weights, and evaluation methods. The findings represent a culmination of in-depth practical exploration, offering valuable insights for educators and stakeholders. These operational research results are shared here for reference purposes only.
