ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to analyze the connections between the 2022 revised elementary school integrated textbooks and third-grade music textbooks, focusing on the common music pieces. The analysis focuses on six common music pieces that appear in integrated textbooks for grades 1 and 2 and at least two music textbooks for grade 3. The scope of the study is the type of music and the way it is presented, the main musical elements, and the main learning activities of common music pieces. The study found that 7 out of 11 common music pieces were presented as lyric sheet music, limiting musical element instruction. The most common musical elements were “Jangdan”(15 cases) and “Beats, Measure”(12 cases). The main learning activities were most often at the Related-Repetition level, highlighting the need for stronger musical activity integration in the integrated textbooks and more Related-Expansion and Related-Advanced level activities in the third-grade music textbooks. To effectively link music education within the integrated curriculum and music education in the third-grade, a variety of meaningful repertoire should be used to organically connect musical concepts and activities, and music education specialists should participate in the curriculum design and textbook development process.
